About us.
Nascha Inc. is an innovative and transparent NDIS provider in Perth that has been providing individualised tailored support to Western Australians with a disability since 1991.
Since our inception we have seen many changes in how supports are funded and provided and these changes have enabled Nascha Inc. to become experts in partnering and tailoring individualised disability support in Perth.
We are an agency that thinks outside the box, with a proven track record in the provision of innovative service delivery models of support.
We firmly believe that one size does not fit all, and by enabling people to have control over their own lives, they will have greater flexibility and the freedom to make their own choices.
We will always endeavour to work alongside and take direction from the person we are supporting to make sure we get it right. “Being real” is one of Nascha Inc.’s value statements, and where we can, we will reduce bureaucracy, to make life simpler.
As a progressive NDIS provider in Perth, Nascha Inc. is aligned with the NDIS participant charter and work with people based on its five principles of:
- Being Transparent
- Being Responsive
- Being Respectful
- Being Empowering and
- Being Connected.
Our board of directors is made up of highly experienced professionals fully committed to building and investing in our people to help Nascha Inc. provide high-quality disability support throughout Perth.
