The Disability Support Project (DSP) provides an honest and reliable service in the Hunter that optimises your path to success.
Since the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is ever-changing, the DSP consistently adapts to government modifications and forever updates its model of best practice on how to assist others.
And, key to that objective are three major principles: trust, loyalty and integrity.
“The Disability Support Project is unique in essence as we only provide Coordination of Support, meaning that each participant has complete attention and focus on making sure they get the most out of their NDIS plan,” director Jake Bourke said.
“We believe our services should be tailored to suit the individual’s needs, focusing on problem solving, building connections and ongoing support.
“The philosophy of the Disability Support Project is to deliver appropriate recommendations to services that meet the needs of the client and remain truly independent from the services that are referred to.
“This allows us to always remain participant-focused and takes us out of the monopolisation of the NDIS landscape.
“By doing this, it permits us to be one of the only truly independent NDIS Coordination of Support providers.”
It’s an area Mr Bourke is passionate about.
The Novocastrian boasts an educational background in mental health, as well as eight years working in the NDIS.
In this time, he’s supported various people at different stages in their life.
But, something he always found was that participants were not always getting the most appropriate support that met their needs.
He was able to attribute this to the current monopoly standards in the NDIS where they were not receiving recommendations made in their best interests.
It led him to developing his own NDIS provider that offers an impartial Coordination of Support to try and break the current pattern of the in-house referral model.
