Get services

Once you can get services from us, you get a service coordinator. They help you make a plan and get the services in it. Most services are free, at any age and any income.

Your service coordinator is your main contact. Call or email them about any service.

Your service coordinator

Your service coordinator helps you understand the rules and how things work. They help you speak up for yourself or your family member. They help you find and get services.

Behind them is a team: clinical staff, intake, finance and more, all working to get the right services to you.

Your plan

You ask for services through your plan. For people 3 and older, the plan is called an Individual Program Plan (IPP). For babies and toddlers, it is an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). You and your planning team write it together.

Design noteYour Services menu has 31 links in four groups. Here, a family picks an age first, because that is how your own pages are already organised. The age pages are not rebuilt in this concept; they link to your current site. Concept B shows what they could become.

The Self-Determination Program

The Self-Determination Program is another way to get your services, with more choice and control over who provides them. Learn about the Self-Determination Program (on the current WRC website)
