Michelle Talk Perks & Pitfalls Of The NDIS


Listen Later

Ever wondered what a Support Coordinator is? What’s their role, and why are they so important?

In this episode, we sit down with Michelle, an NDIS Support Coordinator, to hear all about the part she plays in disability support. 

Michelle has always had an affinity for helping people meet their needs. When her son, Tom, was born with multiple disabilities, she realised how overwhelming the  world of disability support can be. Sometimes it’s a complex and time-consuming procedure just to access the NDIS in the first place! After facing several obstacles – including a misdiagnosis which forced them to restart the entire process – Michelle decided to help other people navigate this journey. Michelle explains how a Support Coordinator links people with services and fills gaps in their knowledge of the NDIS.  She is “the other woman” (Michelle said it, not us!) which eases the pressure off families and carers. Listen in to hear the perks and pitfalls of the NDIS and learn how to gain access to the support scheme.

Find out how Michelle ended up screaming  ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie’ in her wedding dress (spoiler: it was that one time Australia won the Bledisloe Cup). We loved hearing Michelle’s stories, and we know that you  will too!
