We support you to directly employ your support workers and or allied health professionals without the need to go through an  agency. 

BWHC now includes support coordination and specialist support coordination to support you to understand and implement the funded supports in your plan and link you to community, mainstream and other government services. A support worker will assist you to build skills and direct your life and connect you to providers. A specialist support coordinator can be funded where there is high or complex needs in your situation, and will be a qualified social worker, psychologist, or occupational therapist. Bilingual practitioners are available.

A support coordinator will assist you to negotiate with providers and how much it will cost out of your plan. They can also assist you to plan ahead and prepare for your plan review. Support coordinators will assist you to optimise your plan. You can access funds for support coordination from your capacity building budget.

It's not just a day; it's a lifeline that can make a world of difference.🤝 Every conversation you have today can be a step towards saving someone's life. In a world where we often hide our struggles, a simple "Are you okay?" can break the silence and offer hope.💬 Let's remember that the power of genuine human connection is not limited to just one day. We can extend this compassion every single day. It costs nothing to ask, to listen, and to be there for someone.❤️ Mental health is a journey, and it's okay not to be okay sometimes. By fostering a culture of empathy and support, we can create a safer, more understanding world for everyone.💪 So, on #RUOKDay and beyond, let's commit to checking in on our friends, family, and even strangers.

Attended an informative Cancer Innovation Conferen Attended an informative Cancer Innovation Conference 2023 today, where we learned some staggering statistics about cancer. 

Every week, 980 people are diagnosed, and 413 people lose their lives to this disease. Cancer remains the leading cause of death in Australia. 

The event emphasised the importance of equity, person-centered care, and collaboration in cancer research. 

Professor Tracey O’Brien, NSW chief cancer officer and CEO, reminded us that cancer affects everyone differently. The presentation by Professor Gail Garvey shed light on the cancer inequity faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, with a 14% higher incidence rate and 48% lower survival chance.
