Rural Lifestyle Options Australia - Issue 13

Goals:

• To access my community and participate in activities I enjoy. • To build relationships with others. • To improve my ability to communicate with others.

Supports I need:

• A Lifestyle Support Worker to assist me to access the activities I enjoy. • Support from an allied health professional to help me to work on my relationship building skills. • Assistance from a speech pathologist to help me with assistive technology that I can use to increase my communication skills. Here at Rural Lifestyle Options Australia, we are always available to assist you with all aspects of your NDIS plan. We suggest that the easiest way for you to think about goals is to think about what’s important to you.

We work with you to assist you to achieve your goals. Some examples of these are below:

Participant A - Jimmy

Participant B - Ruby

It was important for Jimmy to get fit.

It was important for Ruby to be seen as a valued member of her community. Ruby thought about this and decided she would like to volunteer in some capacity, her goal was "I would like to attend courses to enable me to seek volunteer work." With assistance from her Lifestyle Support Worker, Ruby now volunteers at the Preloved Homewares Op Shop, three mornings a week!

His goal was "I'd like to improve my health and fitness in ways that I enjoy". With support from his Lifestyle Support Worker, Jimmy joined the local gym. He is also using his funding to work with a Lifestyle Support Worker to cook his own healthy meals. With ongoing support, Jimmy has lost 10kgs and smashed his goals out of the park!
