The NDIS industry will see many new disability support workers entering the field and it will be very important that people are choosing to be supported by someone who is a good match for them. It is so important to ask as many questions as possible, even talk to the directors if possible, to see how involved they are.

It’s important that a support worker is not only someone who is caring and supportive, but is also a person who can make you feel empowered, independent and included in the community.

1. Assistance with daily house work.

This one comes as an obvious, however is crucial in finding and knowing when you have a professional support worker. A lot of support workers we have noticed and have had feedback on DO NOT like to do “chores” around the house, this is such a major aspect of the role and something that Shine Disability Care really takes seriously.

We understand & our Support Workers understand that cleaning, doing laundry etc can be a lot harder on someone that is disadvantaged in anyway. We’re here to help & make your life as easy as humanly possible.

2. Not Making Assumptions About A Person’s Ability.

It’s important that a support worker never assumes a person can’t do something, or does something for the person, thinking it will ‘just be easier’ that way. There’s definitely an art to support working, and you will learn that each person will like to be supported in their own way. Shine Disability Care will always encourage our support workers to let the client say or signal when something doesn’t feel right or they don’t feel comfortable doing it. Our workers have the experience needed to know when something doesn’t feel right, you’d be surprised what you can do when you put your mind to it.

3. Knowing When to Step Back.

Sometimes a Support Person doesn’t realise that they are the barrier to inclusion for their client. The support worker can feel like they aren’t doing their job if they stand back and let the person communicate and interact directly in the community… when that’s really the aim! It’s important that the support worker facilitates a person’s independence and that can sometimes include stepping back.

One tip that we have found that has made a major change on our client’s lives is Social Inclusion. As well as stepping back, you can stand behind the person you are supporting and direct people in the community to communicate directly with the person you support, especially if they have communication difficulties. By doing this, you educate people in the community of equal opportunity and rights.

4. Indoor / Outdoor Activities.

A lot of things are hard on your own, whether it is from a lack of ability to perform such activity or just the mental ability to think you can’t do it. When you know someone has 100% of their attention on you and your safety, you’d be surprised what mental fears you can overcome and the experiences you can have in life. At Shine Disability Care we are in contact with a magnitude of different local businesses to ensure boredom is non-existent whilst in our care.

5. Travel.

Travel to and from appointments, activities, friends is not something that every Disability Company offers as special requirements are often a hurdle. However, with our fine screening of Support Workers and vehicles available there is no trip to small for us.

6. A Friend.

Sometimes life can be lonely, whether it be from being shy or not having the opportunity to go out and meet new people. A support worker will always be there when you need them either for a chat or a trip out, we have an extensive list of both indoor & outdoor activities that will give you & your Support Worker the bonding experience needed to progress physically & mentally.

When considering the type of care and support you need, there is a major factor that should be considered. This is what are the differences between being cared for by a Company vs a Sole Trader.

When you have your support plan delivered by a Company, you know that the Support Worker only has to focus on delivering the highest standard of care possible. When receiving care from a Sole Trader, they have many things they need to give their attention too. For example, they are responsible for every aspect of their business. They are required to divide their time up considering they are responsible for things such as marketing, budgeting, researching the latest NDIS industry news, refining their policies and procedures insuring they are meeting current NDIS reporting standards, and the list goes on. They may have your best interest at heart and mean well but we all know that when you are trying to juggle many tasks, it is harder to give 100% of your focus to each individual task.

When your support is delivered by a Company, the support worker is contracted or employed to deliver the support service only. All reporting, training, marketing etc. is taken care of by other team members of the Company. Having others take care of different areas of the Company allows each person that is assigned to a task to be 100% devoted to that task and therefore each task is done with more care and proficiency. This means that the team member providing your support is 100% focused on you and your goals.

All of us at Shine Disability Care strive to provide the highest level of service and whether it is the person delivering your support plan or the person working in the office to ensure that our reporting procedures are constantly reviewed and refined.

If you have any questions about how Shine Disability Care can help you reach your goals, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

At Shine Disability Care we pride ourselves on providing clients with a more personalised support plan then they would be accustomed to. We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach but instead spend more time listening to what our clients want. A customised in-depth support plan will be created which is designed to help you the client achieve their personal goals.

Shine Disability Care realise that people’s goals can change, we are constantly reviewing client feedback and feedback from our client’s support network. This will ensure that their support plan reflects what they want to achieve. If a client’s needs change, then our support plan is modified to realign with the goals of the client. Our clients are welcomed into the Shine Disability Care family and our friendly, qualified team share the common goals of the company.

Put simply our goal is to provide industry leading care for our clients so that they can get the most from their life experience regardless of the disability they may be living with. We look forward to talking further with you regarding the services that we can offer you or your loved ones. Please don’t hesitate to contact us today.

Social Inclusion is a huge factor in day-to-day life, especially as a disabled youth. It is clear that people can be present in community without being socially included. Being socially included means that a number of things are present in people’s lives. Social inclusion means that people:

– Experience a sense of belonging
– Are accepted (for who they are) within their communities
– Have valued roles in the community
– Are actively participating in the community
– Are involved in activities based on their personal preferences
– Have social relationships with others whom they chose and share common interests
– Have two-sided friendships.

When people experience some or all of these conditions in their life, they are more likely to be happier and healthier. In fact, social inclusion is an important “determinant of health” – without inclusion, people are more likely to experience poor health (including poor mental health), loneliness, isolation, and poor self-esteem.

Many people with disabilities unnecessarily experience life quite differently. They may not have a “sense of presence” in the community and may not have access to activities they prefer or desire. People lack opportunities to work, play, learn and develop social relationships with others (particularly with people who do not have a disability). People with disabilities are often not acknowledged in the community, or if they are, it may be in a negative way. Too often, people do not have close friends with whom they can share their desires, time and lives.

How does this lack of social inclusion for people with disabilities get addressed? There are many possible pathways to inclusion. The good news is that we are getting better as a society in opening up our schools and workplaces to people with disabilities. While there are still many barriers to employment, forward thinking workplaces are slowly recognizing the real contributions that people with disabilities can make. Recreation holds particular promise for achieving true inclusion because of the meaningful connections that recreation can facilitate.

Shine Disability Care specialises in outdoor activities. This is a great way to try new things, meet new people and most importantly feel good about yourself
