Services
Channelise works with you and your support network to make everyday connection in the community.
Support Coordination
Navigate, connect, monitor and review your support services
We impart our expertise in the NDIS to you by navigating plans through our Support Coordination service. We work alongside you to identify your options and work through the best combination of supports. Together we can select providers who will bring maximum value to your plan and to your life.
We value inclusive practices and your expertise in knowing what is best for you.
And we know what we are doing, as we shaped our Support Coordination expertise right at the beginning, when this service emerged during the NDIS trial in Newcastle.
We stay with you across all the stages – connecting to supports, monitoring progress, reviewing their value and reporting the outcomes.
We are solution-focussed and dedicate our work to increasing your participation wherever that may be – at home, in the community, at school or work and with your family and friends.
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
Mental health support to improve wellbeing and positive outcomes
Develop recovery-enabling relationships, based on hope and reliable supports. Your Recovery Coach will increase your recovery skills and personal capacity (such as motivation, individual strengths and decision making).
We ensure that your supports are recovery-oriented and align to your NDIS plan implementation.
The aim of the support is to increase your social and economic independence and participation through the provision of direct capacity building supports.
Recovery Coaches work collaboratively with participants, as well as their families, carers so that complex challenges are well managed.
What is a recovery plan?
A good plan identifies strengths, barriers and the short-term objectives and resources needed to move towards a purposeful and meaningful life. The plan also maps available NDIS supports, clinical services and natural supports. We include your key contacts and support people in the plan and define their roles and responsibilities, so the combination of expertise is optimised.
We adjust the plan to meet fluctuating circumstances and ensure that supports complement each other and meet your needs.
I-CAN Assessment
Focus much more on strengths than functional assessments
We hold the I-CAN assessor certificate from the Centre for Disability Studies that authorises us to conduct the assessment and produce the report.
Employment Support
Secure a job that matches with your skills, abilities and aspirations.
You can start your journey to find and keep a job with our employment support that matches you to the right job with a suitable employer. We work with school leavers, young adults and mature aged job seekers to locate all forms of work - volunteer, work experience, work trials and paid employment. We often negotiate with employers on the design of jobs and modify the days, hours, duties and job role requirements so that you commence work with the best chance to succeed.
Our graduated approach to employment means that you can start off with small steps if needed and build up your work responsibilities over time. Our expertise with employment support stretches right back to the early 1990s when specialist services first emerged in Australia.
We focus on the 'Place and Train' model that has proven to be the most enduring approach to finding and keeping a job.
