Our May BCA Inform focused on the topic of support workers, specifically covering how to find and choose support workers, the things they have been able to do with their support, and some of the issues to be considered when working together. We were joined by BCA member Louise Pearson who shared her experiences of finding and using support workers.
Louise shared some great tips including knowing how much funding you have available before engaging support workers and planning when and for what tasks you would like to use support to maximise your NDIS funding. She also discussed the importance of finding support workers who had similar interests to her as she found this made things much easier.
