What does a Support Team Advisor do?

Our Support Team Advisors help link their clients with the appropriate health care professionals from multi-disciplinary teams of physiotherapists, dietitians, occupational therapists, speech language therapists, and community nurses at every District Health Board in New Zealand.

Support Team Members can also act on their client’s behalf to navigate government agencies and specialist equipment services.
