Testimonials

“Having Melissa as our support coordinator has been an absolute game changer. As our child’s health and circumstances became more complex and challenging, I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
As soon as I met Melissa I knew we were in safe hands. Her caring and professional manner, knowledge of the NDIS and healthcare systems, incredible advocacy skills and connections with allied health and other services have completely transformed our situation for the better. We feel so fortunate to have Melissa on our side."
