Southern Care Services Values
As a registered NDIS service provider, located in Harvey WA, Southern Care Services only take on participants on the NDIS who reside in Harvey, Yarloop, Cookernup, Brunswick or Waroona and surrounding areas. Having a strong focus on participants in these areas, with no other local NDIS approved service providers, ensures the participants NDIS dollar goes further. For example, reducing the cost of travel. Southern Care Services also only employ local support workers, cleaners, gardeners, with the hope of boosting the community economy and keep consistency in the workplace for participants. This will also reduce, with an ambition of avoiding any burnout of our workers through travel and changes to participants supports.

Southern Care Services values choices and believes in the personal centred approach, ensuring that everyone is included and understood. Southern Care Services look at each participant in the context of their environment. Southern Care Services staff are innovative and creative and will tailor the supports that are essential to the participant and their family to safeguard the best outcome. Southern Care Services workers are highly trained and highly experienced and spend a significant amount of time understanding the dynamics of the participant requiring services and their families so that we can tailor the supports and make the NDIS dollar go as far as possible.
