"Our social worker has been a lifeline for our family. They not only helped us understand the NDIS process but also provided invaluable emotional support when we were feeling overwhelmed. Their advocacy ensured our daughter received the services she needed, and her confidence and social skills have improved immensely. We can't thank them enough for their dedication."
- Sarah, Parent of an NDIS Participant.
