Social workers play a vital role in assessment, planning, and case management for individuals across all types of disability support and service provision. Their practice spans the life span, including work with children, adults, families, carers, groups, and communities. Most importantly, our social workers collaborate with people with disabilities to facilitate empowerment for themselves and their families, helping them achieve their needs, goals, and aspirations through effective NDIS support.
Social workers can provide several specific supports, including:
- Therapeutic and mental health support (individual and group)
- Early intervention supports for early childhood
- Behaviour support (assessment and development of support plans)
- Assistance in coordinating or managing life stages, transitions, and supports, including recovery coaching
- Guidance to access and maintain employment or higher education
- Support coordination for obtaining or retaining accommodation and tenancy
