“My daughter’s doing really, really well since getting the extra help – through the NDIS, support workers step in and do all of the stuff that I’d usually do."

At the end of 2013, Natusha Kum-Sing made the difficult decision to pack up her three children and leave the support network of her extended family in Mount Isa to move to Townsville.
“I have an adult daughter with Cerebral Palsy who needs 24/7 support,” said Natusha of her decision to move.
“Living in Mount Isa, it was just me doing it all myself with no extra support, so there was a whole upheaval with moving and leaving all my family.”
Natusha was able to find a disability home through Yumba-Meta Limited with minimal fuss, and she and her family have been in the same property ever since.
“It’s a quiet area, I like where we are at the moment,” Natusha said.
“My daughter’s doing really, really well since getting the extra help – through the NDIS, support workers step in and do all of the stuff that I’d usually do. It gives me a break and she’s always on the go, doing lots of activities.
“The goals that she’s achieving now are great. It was worth making the move, definitely.”
