Disability Support Work
At Myxa Care, we provide disability support services to give our participants choice and control. We work with individuals and families to identify their needs, and provide personalised care that empowers those with a disability to live with independence.
What is Disability Support Work?
Disability support work refers to support services that increase independence and well-being for those living with a disability. For example, assistance with showering, shopping, household chores and exercise.
You and your loved ones decide the support services you will receive based on your needs and NDIS funding. We are able to assist you to live independently, we can provide in-home care or support in the community.
