    • Offers a lifetime approach, supporting people as needs change.
    • Enables those with disabilities and their families to choose how, where, and when to get support.
    • Promotes social and community participation.
    • Provides early intervention without waiting for a crisis.
Who is eligible?

    • Those with autism, ABI, cerebral palsy and sensory impairments
    • Those attempting to delay conditions such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s
Do I need to manage my package?
