Things We Can't Offer:

At Aecus Care, we strive to provide comprehensive support to our clients. However, there are certain services we are unable to offer:

• Administration of Psychotropic Medications 
• We do not administer any medications. As an unregistered NDIS provider, we are not permitted to carry out medication administration. 
• However, if the client is able to self-administer psychotropic medications, we can support them with no issues. We are happy to prompt and ensure medication compliance. 

• Restrictive Practices 
• Any other practices that are classified as restrictive are also not within our scope of services.

At Aecus Care, we are dedicated to empowering our participants through tailored support services that foster growth, independence, and a sense of belonging. Our collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of a participant's care are considered and integrated into our support strategy.

If you are a support coordinator in need of assistance for a participant, we would love to hear from you too! Please reach out to us to discuss how we can work together to provide the best support possible.
