For the past 48 years PRONIA has offered the Greek community comprehensive and culturally diverse support services. More recently, Lately, a new branch (Disability Services) has been added as part of the group’s services.

As a registered NDIS provider, PRONIA is now delivering Support Co-ordination Services to people approved for an NDIS package. With the trees robust rootstock and flourishing above-ground foliage, this new branch can’t help but grow and become strong and very productive.

The skills and expertise gained over the years are invaluable as we embark on our new endeavour as a registered NDIS provider. It means that we are establishing a safe, self-regulatory environment that ensures the most vulnerable people in our community receive the quality standard of supports to address their needs and wants.

Support Co-ordination Services are provided by PRONIA to NDIS participants. Our service is fully funded by the NDIS, if the participant has ‘Coordination of support’ funding in their plan. PRONIA helps them connect with NDIS providers and plan how to best utilise their NDIS funding. PRONIA’S Support Coordinators work with, and alongside participants providing bespoke services that deliver positive results and achieve set goals. We ensure that our qualified staff are trained in meeting with NDIS requirements or above, and have the attributes required to ensure positive outcomes are achieved for the people we support.

The NDIS roll-out has been described as the largest social policy reform in Australian history since Medicare in the 1970’s. However, many people with disabilities are missing out on these services because they do not know where to go or how to navigate the system. PRONIA’s Support Coordinators will work with the NDIS participants and their families, inform them of all the services available and help them choose services and support that helps them lead a more inclusive life. They will ensure that the participants access quality services from approved providers and they will negotiate the best service arrangements and costs.
