It’s an exciting time when you’re nearing adulthood. There are so many new experiences just around the corner. If you’re a teenager with low vision which is affecting your mobility, the situation is exactly the same. Your teenage years are the perfect time to take on new challenges to become an independent adult.
Travelling safely on your own without family members, starting high school or transitioning to university, entering the workforce, spending time with friends, and socialising to make new ones — whatever you’re looking to do, our team can equip you with practical skills to achieve your personal goals.
You may be able to access funding and assistance through the NDIS and other funding channels. Whether you are eligible or not, be assured that we will always provide support regardless of your financial situation.
Support coordinators offer a free pre-planning service for anyone considering the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). With a support coordinator, you can easily understand your eligibility, cut through the jargon, and get your plan together. Support coordinators work with you to set clear goals, define your needs, and reach the outcomes that enable you to live the life you want. The pre-planning service provided by support coordinators is also available if you are coming up to plan renewal.
If you’re hoping to access support for someone you know, we welcome referrals from parents, friends, family members, and a wide range of health professionals.
