Funding arrangements of schemes such as the NDIS, Lifetime Support Authority or WorkCover set charges for support services, and we will not charge you more than is allowed by these schemes.
We believe in honest communication and full transparency. We will provide you with details of our service costs before you receive support and whenever we need to change costs (usually at the start of the financial year in July).
