FAQ

What is a program of support and what does it mean for me?

Next Steps will be running as an NDIS “program of support”. Programs of support are a way of running groups over a set period of time. Everyone registered commits to attending the full group. Standard cancellation rules don’t apply so prices won’t change for you depending on who else attended on the day.
