AT MULTICAP WE BELIEVE LIFE IS TO BE TRULY LIVED!

-

Multicap is proud to empower more than 1,200 people with disability and their families on a daily basis. Establishe­d over 55 years ago by five families for the purpose of caring for young children with complex support needs, Multicap has matured into an organisati­on with a broad service offering. The opening of the Toowoomba Community Hub late 2017 provided greater access for local and neighbouri­ng communitie­s to better tailored personal services.

The Toowoomba Community Hub is a place where customers immediatel­y feel at home. It is welcoming and inclusive, offering creative learning programs and supporting social engagement through bringing together likeminded people. This is a place of recreation and life skills developmen­t and will grow to reflect the particular needs of our local community.

As specialist­s in complex support needs, Multicap also has decades of experience in understand­ing behaviours that may limit people’s lives and their underlying causes. Addressing these behaviours and implementi­ng Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) will also increase our customers’ quality of life.

Simon Wardale, expert in PBS, recently joined Multicap and brings a wealth of knowledge. Multicap’s Positive Behaviour Support Team provides solutions for customers and their support network, when maintainin­g friendship­s and accessing the community is difficult due to the complexity of support needed. Multicap ensures PBS plans are fully compliant with the legislatio­n that regulates restrictiv­e practices. Multicap is a strong advocate for the reduction and eliminatio­n of restrictiv­e practices, and will integrate these into customer plans only when entirely necessary, and with the ultimate goal of ceasing their use. Working alongside Multicap’s team of highly experience­d Positive Behaviour Support Specialist­s, our customers receive the best opportunit­y for successful outcomes.
