Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this short episode, Heather introduces our newest team member Maddie. Maddie is now onboard as a Respite Coordinator, and explains her background and journey into the disability world, caring for a loved one before moving into NDIS Support Coordination.
Heather and Maddie discuss our burgeoning Respite service and how Respite/Short-Term Accommodation can support a participant's Choice and Control and the difference it makes to a participant's life as well as their family and carers. Maddie's background in Support Coordination gives her an amazing insight into the participant's lives and how Respite can be a life-changing experience.
Debbie too is also very happy to have Maddie on board to help handle all the Respite enquiries coming into our office all the time. We are also excited about our 'Dynamic Duo' - Maddie working alongside Debbie - as we roll out a nation wide Respite Accommodation Service, to cater for all stakeholders - Participants, Suppport Coodinators, SILs, AirBnB owners.
Aswell, for the benefit of potential new property investors looking for an alternative housing product in the NDIS, we are designing a "MTA-STA-AIRBNB designed H&L Package" at affordable prices ($650-850K) with potential yields of 7-10%pa gross incomes. This will give a different disability housing product across the NDIS landscape for investors to consider, which we are working very closely with other builders to "surprise the market" with. Watch this space, as we have some big announcements coming soon on this!
