M84U
The M84U program can support and coach you to implement your goals. It is about supporting you with self-care, social, and recreational activities to enable and empower you to reach the goals you agreed with NDIS.
The M84U will discuss with you and your nominated representatives the activities you want to participate in, provide you with a quote and if you are happy to proceed, provide a Support Worker you want to work with to implement your goals and aspirations. M84U will also work with you to identify any difficulties or any areas of improvement to ensure that you are getting the maximum quality of services out of your plan and is value for money.
