Testimonials

I'm writing to let you know how impressed I have been with the Ascend Health services I receive. Melissa has unobtrusively bonded with my family and made having a support worker in the house a breeze. Her work is of the highest standard and I sincerely hope she is the standard to which all Ascend staff are held.

Cam is amazing with our boys! He is so energetic yet calm. He shows initiative in finding new and engaging ways to get my children to interact and meet their goals. He has been able to get my youngest to play board games by following the rules and not getting upset if he doesn’t win (from always making up his own rules and having a meltdown at a loss). He even is able to help the boys learn new skills by helping them to learn to do it and giving encouragement and support to be successful.

Your team's responsiveness, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to quality support have made a significant difference in our ability to meet needs effectively. Thank you so very, very much for your outstanding partnership.

What does an NDIS support worker do?

Support Workers provide practical and emotional support to individuals and their families. This can include help with daily tasks, personal care, medication, and paperwork, as well as building life skills. They also support people to explore new hobbies, boost confidence, and strengthen informal support networks, helping individuals live more independently and stay connected.
