Hi everyone,  

My 63 year old mum had a ruptured aneurysm followed 10days later by a massive stroke in April. Sadly it has left my mum with a number of physical disabilities- which she is working everyday to improve.  We were successful in securing an NDIS package.... which has enabled her to return home. I am looking into moving away from agency care to employing a team of support workers for her. I am not sure where to start....has anyone with an NDIS package or looked into this? Any advice would be great.  Thank you and take care

Hey Amelia,

Reach out StrokeLine on 1800 787 653, they may be able to offer some advice.

Also check out these resources, they may prove to be handy too.

I will add your forum question to the next EnableMe newsletter on Thursday.

hi Emelia ,hat's wonderful news , but some of us aren't as lucky , I have finally been accepted and had my first  interview with ndis , its taken me 2 years to  make a start with them , all seems like a bunch of crap to me , hopefully in the next 12 months I might be given a manager  , as i said might , some people have to wait 5 years before they get help, so as they say there is still teething problems with the. In the mean time we are the ones to suffer without a future till they finally accept us , after countless phone calls . I am glad to hear you have got  ndis support so quickly and you mum is on the improve.
