NDIS Youth Supports
Supporting positive life changes along young people’s journey towards adult independence.
Your youth team supports you as you move through key life stages, building the skills and confidence you need along the way. This includes support with settling into high school, developing everyday routines like managing time and money, and growing confidence in social situations.
As you get older, we also support you to build job skills, find and keep a job, and move towards greater independence including independent living.
Your youth lead practitioner brings together the right allied health therapies and employment supports to help you achieve what matters most to you.
