Key Worker

Best Behaved Kids provides Key Worker services for children up to 9 years old who are accessing NDIS. We have over 40 years combined experience working collaboratively with families and providers, building and coordinating the BEST support teams for children.

What is a Key Worker?

A Key Worker is a role mandated by the NDIS as part of an early intervention team of supports. Key Workers co-ordinate the communication and information sharing between the health professionals & providers working with the child and the family. They also co-ordinate the reporting requirements for plan reviews.

As an independent Key Worker, Best Behaved Kids enables you to access YOUR CHOICE of providers and enjoy the personalised, professional services that we offer.

Benefits of engaging Best Behaved Kids :

Independent, professional advice by highly experienced professionals who have worked with hundreds of families in a Key Worker role.
A wider choice of providers selected by you to suit your child’s specific needs.
You are not tied to a corporate Key Worker who decides which providers your child will be matched with.
Stay with your current therapists rather than having to move to a large organisation.

As Key Workers we:

Are trained and accredited professionals with decades of experience coordinating teams
Help children achieve their goals
Coordinate and build your child’s support team (speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, physiotherapists, behaviour specialists, counsellors, educators)
