20.01.2022 Above and beyond we couldn't help but share a recent success from our incredible support coordinator, Pam "One of my clients hadn’t experienced a positive outcome with her past funding. She engaged with Instacare and with constant communication, I was able to build her trust. I connected her with the right support worker, psychology and podiatry. She could not believe that the podiatrist could come to her house. After the first consult, she called Instacare crying, saying she is so grateful to have me as her support coordinator. Now she calls up anytime and updates me on her progress and any new developments in her life." Our clients are at the core of everything we do Interested in working with a Support Coordinator to help achieve your NDIS goals. Get in touch! https://instacare.com.au/contact-us/
