“Northside Enterprise Inc. is a leading community based, person centered disability service provider driven by our vision of “People with disabilities living fulfilling, active lives as equal members of the community”

Individually tailored supports and activities

Supports and activities/programs are designed to meet a person’s specific needs as expressed through his/her Goals and Service Plan. A person with disability currently has his/her Northside Service Plan (MyNSP), which is a fully co-ordinated goal setting process and plan initiated by the individual person with a disability and his/her Case Manager and contributed to by relevant staff, parents and/or carers. These plans are reviewed regularly.

Under the NDIS this MyNSP will be replaced by the NDIS Plan and Northside Enterprise Inc will continue its quality service provision by offering tailored programs, supports and activities chosen by the person with disabilities to achieve his/her goals and which suit best the individual person with disabilities, his/her skills and capabilities and needs.
