Emma breaks into dance at New Horizons Respite Centre in Thornleigh
Founded in 1981 , New Horizons began with the intention to offer employment opportunities for young adults . Over the following 30 years , the organisation grew to offer services and supports for people to find and maintain accommodation , seek meaningful employment , manage day-to-day tasks , learn new skills , access services , establish networks and connect with the broader community .
“ Over the years , the organisation has grown in terms of diversity and size ,” shared Higgin , “ a lot of that growth occurring during the last 10 to 15 years .” The success of New
Horizons can be attributed to a number of reasons , but a primary factor is the organisation ’ s drive to transform the customer experience . “ In light of recent changes in the sector , driven by the launch of the National Disability Insurance Scheme , we ’ ve released our Design for the Future and Strategy for Success ,” said Higgin . “ These plans detail a number of key priorities to future-proof our business so more people can benefit from our unique approach to enhancing wellbeing .”
The National Disability Insurance Scheme ( NDIS ) represents the single biggest change to the community
