Needs Assessment Service Co-ordination (NASC) - What is a needs assessment and how to get one.
Once the NASC has done the Needs Assessment, they will discuss with you support options that you might be eligible for.
What is a Needs assessment?
The purpose of a Needs Assessment is to learn more about you. This means gaining an understanding of your preferences, what your goals are, what your desired life looks like and the support you might need to live that life now and in the future.
They will discuss options funded by Whaikaha and non-funded options or supports which may be found in the community or funded by other ministries.
