Hi everyone 
My name is Waqas and I’m the Director of Nurturing Supports, a passionate and people-first NDIS service provider based here in Perth. I’m really excited to be part of this community and to connect with participants, families and fellow providers.
At Nurturing Supports, we offer Core Support services across Perth and surrounding areas including:
Personal care and assistance with daily living.
Social and community participation.
Transport to appointments, activities, or programs.
Daily tasks and shared living support.
We pride ourselves on delivering genuine, person-centred support, no cookie-cutter care here. We take the time to understand what matters most to each individual and match them with compassionate, reliable support workers who truly care.
Whether you’re a participant, a family member or another provider, feel free to reach out or say hi. I’m always happy to answer questions, collaborate or just have a friendly chat.
Looking forward to getting to know you all and being part of this amazing community.
Warm regards,
Waqas

Hi Waqas, thanks for the post. Curious how you go about making your matches between participants and support workers?

Hi there,
That’s a great question and really important when it comes to building strong, lasting support relationships.
Here’s how we go about matching participants with support workers:
Understanding the Participant First:
I start by getting a deep understanding of the participant’s:
Goals (e.g., independence, community access, routine support)
Personality and preferences
Support needs (e.g., personal care, social engagement, behaviour support)
Cultural background, communication style, gender preferences, etc. if relevant)
This helps make the match more personal rather than just “filling a shift.”
Once we have this information, we then pair them with a support worker who will be a good fit for them for example we will never pair someone who is not comfortable doing personal care with a participant who needs personal care. Experience level vs participants needs is our focus at this stage.
After the first few shifts, I always check in with both the participant (or their family) and the support worker to see how it’s going. If something feels off, I’ll address it early or consider a different match. I have tried to summarise it as best as I could however there is some more work which happens behind the scenes to ensure we are setting up a good & long lasting bond.
