We care. Now, we know what you're thinking - _we have to say that_. But the truth is, we really do care.

We, as a team, are 100% committed to making sure that every one who uses our disability support services in Perth is comfortable with us, and that everyone involved has the best experience possible with us.

We are a team of people who understand that some members of our community have additional care needs, and that it's okay for you as their primary caregiver to have a break sometimes, and that you shouldn't feel any sort of shame or guilt for that.

That is a message that we want all of you as caregivers to understand, too.

Consequently, all our

- recognising that disabled people may be especially vulnerable and safeguarding them against abuse and exploitation, protecting their rights and ensuring they are treated properly and with respect
- helping with living skills by providing guidance to make the right decisions, ensuring they are able to attend appointments, supporting them through daily tasks such as cooking and cleaning and generally encouraging them to live a normal life
- assisting with hobbies and leisure activities so people can become members of the local community
- ensuring support plan goals are achieved
- making sure that people can look after themselves properly by eating well, taking medication, having exercise and keeping clean
- accurate record-keeping of medication taken, activities and achievements so that progress can be assessed and changes made when necessary.

Our
disability workers in Perth ensure the people they care for can have as full a life as possible and will do everything in their power to make that happen.

Skills & Qualifications for Disability Support Staff in Perth:
Complying with regulations and legislation is essential and so all our staff have the necessary qualifications, certifications and clearances.

But we require more than that because we want them to be special characters who can provide the right kind of required support.

All our
disability support staff in Perth need to be able to engage with people irrespective of where they are and the problems they have.

They need to have patience because they have to deal with people who may be uncooperative, may have difficulty communicating or may be withdrawn.

Our support workers are able to follow support plans and schedules but, at the same time, are encouraged to take decisions independently because the people they are there to help rely on them
