Specialist disability support for people with complex support needs, delivered in accordance with the participant's current support plan, clinical instructions and individual requirements. IHA can provide the participant's broader ongoing support arrangement, not only attend to perform an isolated High Intensity or clinical task. This includes High Intensity Supports where required, and, where relevant, everyday supports as part of that ongoing arrangement.
Available to participants across Melbourne's western suburbs.
