Allied Health Practitioner of Social Work Services
After working several years in the Disability Sector, I have experience assisting with NDIS Access, and delivering Capacity Building Supports as a social worker.
NDIS Access includes collating required evidence for an eligible NDIS condition or delivering the following assessment/s:
- World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0
- Pearson User Level B assessments eg. Vineland-3.
NDIS Support Coordination
What is support coordination?
Support coordination helps you to make the best use of your supports in your NDIS plan. Support coordination is a capacity building support which helps you to:
- Understand and use your NDIS plan to pursue your goals
- Connect you with NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government services
- Build your confidence and skills to use and coordinate your supports.
Level 2 Support Coordination – coordination of supports: This support will assist you to build the skills you need to understand and use your plan. A support coordinator will work with you to ensure a mix of supports are used to increase your capacity to maintain relationships, manage service delivery tasks, live more independently and be included in your community.
About Us
Meet Casira, Owner/Director of Ochre Care
As an Allied Health Practitioner of social work services, I have a person centred approach with strong interests in improving the lives of people that live with a disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Also, having lived and worked in remote areas of Australia, I understand the challenges associated with limited services in these areas.
I have extensive experience working in various roles within the NDIS sector:
- Disability Support Worker providing quality on the ground support to participants, including daily living, community access and personal care
- Support Coordinator with a Not for Profit Organisation helping participants to understand their plan and connecting them to NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government supports to build capacity and gain independence
- Case Manager with Disability Services, Queensland Government helping individuals and families with accessing the NDIS, including individuals incarcerated and living in very remote Aboriginal communities.
These roles have provided me with a holistic view of how to best support people that live with a disability, delivering quality care with benefits to the individual, their family and the community.
