Is This Page for You?

This page is for anyone who supports an NDIS participant in their life: parents, siblings, partners, legal guardians, plan nominees, or other representatives. Whether your family member's support needs are straightforward or complex, the information here explains how Myxa works with families.

Complex or Combined Support Needs

01

Your family member lives with psychosocial disability, intellectual disability, or a combination of support needs that require more than standard support.

Behaviours of Concern

02

Your family member experiences frequent behaviours of concern or needs structured behaviour support as part of their daily routine.

High Intensity Support

03

Your family member requires High Intensity Support as part of their NDIS plan, including health-related or intensive behaviour supports.

Placement Changes

04

Previous support arrangements have changed and your family member needs a provider with the capacity and systems to provide consistent, reliable support.

Hospital Discharge

05

Your family member is ready to leave hospital but needs the right supports in place first through Medium Term Accommodation.

If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone. We understand that navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming, especially when your family member has complex support needs. Our role is to bring more stability, clearer communication, and a sense that you do not have to carry everything on your own.

How We Work WithFamilies and Representatives

Healthy Relationships and Participant Choice

01

We want participants to have strong, healthy relationships with the people who support them. Wherever it is safe and appropriate, we welcome families and representatives being involved in updates, planning, and important decisions. Under the NDIS, every participant has the right to decide who is involved in their support and what information can be shared. If your family member prefers to keep some things private, we respect that. When there are different views between a participant and their family, we take time to listen, explain options clearly, and look for a way forward that keeps the participant's rights at the centre while maintaining safe, respectful relationships.

Communication and Updates

02

Good support depends on good communication. From the start, we agree how and when you would like to hear from us, and who your main contacts are. You can expect regular updates as agreed, clear communication about both progress and challenges, early notification when something changes or an incident occurs, and involvement in Support Plan reviews where your family member wants that. Your main contact is the House Supervisor (for SIL) or Core Support Manager (for Core Support), with the SIL Manager available for escalation.

Safety, Wellbeing, and Quality

03

Your family member's safety is supported by the Myxa Framework: structured oversight from House Supervisors and SIL Managers, consistent staffing through centralised rostering, participant-specific staff training before support begins, and 24/7 after-hours management support. When things are difficult, we are committed to working through challenges. We communicate honestly about what is happening and what we are doing about it.

Visits, Contact, and Staying Connected

04

Your family member's home is their home. Visits are welcome and encouraged, guided by your family member's preferences and any agreed arrangements. We support participants to maintain and strengthen their family relationships. If there are specific arrangements around contact, we work with you, your family member, and their support coordinator to agree on boundaries that everyone understands.

Formal Roles

05

If you are a legal guardian, NDIS plan nominee, or hold another formal role, we respect the authority and responsibilities of that role. We work with you to understand the scope of your decision-making involvement, ensure appropriate information is shared with you, and involve you in decisions as required by your role. If you are not sure about your formal role or rights, your support coordinator can help clarify this.

Raising Concerns

06

If something is not right, we want to know. You can raise concerns with your family member's House Supervisor or Core Support Manager, with the SIL Manager, with Myxa head office, through your support coordinator, or directly with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. We take all concerns seriously, respond promptly, and keep you informed about what we are doing to address them.
