If you require services from Global Disability Services, please reach out to us through various contact methods to schedule an assessment. After a comprehensive assessment, we will identify the most suitable services for your needs, taking into account the payment options available.

This ensures that we can properly allocate your funding. If you don’t have this support, don’t worry; we will still assess your needs. If you are eligible for government support, we will assist you in obtaining approval. Otherwise, we will explore alternative payment options with you. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to make sure you receive the support you need
