We know that families of kids with complex needs are always very busy. Even with in home disability support, life can get so busy and you can often feel overwhelmed. “Life admin” always falls to the bottom of the priority list. That’s why we put together a short-guide to complex needs life admin.

As we prepare to open our new short term accommodation and respite centre in the Brisbane suburb of Yeerongpilly, we take a look at what respite means to families of children with complex disability and health needs.

For families of children with complex needs, your in-home disability Support Worker may spend a significant amount of time with your child and your family. With many service providers offering in-home disability support it can be difficult to know where to start when choosing the right provider and the right Support Worker for your child and your family. Here are some things to consider. 

We’ve been supporting children with complex disabilities in Brisbane for over 70 years. One of the ways we provide support is through our nursing services. With the recent NDIS update (1 October 2019), this support can now be funded through your child’s plan.  

At Xavier, we’ve been supporting Brisbane kids for over 65 years. Now, one of the ways that our multi-disciplinary allied health team can support Brisbane children and their families is through speech therapy.

At Xavier, we believe that all children should have the opportunity to get out and about in their communities, to explore new environments and make new friends. Our team of passionate and dedicated Support Workers help children in Brisbane who are living with a complex disability to do this.
