Services

CFN offers a range of support services for people with a disability and their families and/or carers which are flexible and ensure that they have choice and control over the support they need to thrive. CFN’s support services and programs for people with a disability include:

• Social and Community Participation

• Respite including short term accommodation support, in-home respite and school holiday programs

• Daily Living Support

Once an individual’s support needs and goals have been identified in their support plan, CFN will endeavour to match the right support worker/s to the person who will ensure continuity of support and match the person they are supporting to access the right support services. Supported persons will have the final say on who will be supporting them and what support services they engage in, in close consultation with the carer or family.

SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

CFN’s popular Enthuse program is a support service for people with a disability which focuses on social and community participation.  Enthuse was developed by and for people with disability and aims to help participants embrace new opportunities and broaden their experiences. This innovative  support program for people with a disability is flexible and is delivered both one-on-one and in group settings. It encourages social and community participation, while also catering for individual needs and interests. Through Enthuse we assist participants to develop and enhance their skills, discover new interests, reach goals, establish relationships and link them with community and culture.
