Annie in wonderland

So one has to wonder why I felt the need to make a post like this, it’s not click bate but it’s because we need to know that they do exist as we are being constantly bombarded with all the things that big, corporatized agencies are doing we forget about the smaller start-ups that know the law and hold their support workers to a very high standard of care. For so long had to fight my agency I didn’t know what it was like to have a good agency and they do exist and this is why it’s so important to keep going and to understand that not every agency is going to suit you or your circumstances and to understand that if they have a human resources department that it’s there to protect the company not the clients so you need to be able to protect yourself.  This is where what the NDIS calls informal support comes into play as a good agency will work with your family and friends, they will help you to navigate tough times in your life, and to work with you to understand you and to make your

  What is a good support agency and how do pick one we see that this is more complex than just going with one, as you need to consider a lot of things that we see can be a massive factor in choosing the right support agency for you?   You need to look at a lot of factors, some things that seem obvious like do you like their ethics, do they have space for you, do they treat you as a human and not a cash cow, and what happens if they need to cancel and you have plans as some support services promise person-centred care but deliver very poor levels of support and backup to the clients and their families leading to family conflict and wondering if having a support agency is even worth it and worth the drama of trying to get good support.   As I have been wondering this myself.
