Ward Sheehan-Aged Care, NDIS and a story of overcoming the 'system'
What an incredible story of taking on the system and finding success that is helpful for his family and parents. Ward's commitment to finding solutions, creating support and helping YOU discover the supports that are available 'out there' is evident in every word in this show!
Navigating aged care and the NDIS can be a mine field and this show will give you direction, education and inspiration to find the help you or your family needs!! You don't have to do this on your own... It's time to ask for help!
For over 30 years, Ward has been immersed in the NDIS and Aged Care sectors. Throughout his extensive experience, he has encountered various businesses, both as an employee and an observer. Unfortunately, among them, he has encountered instances where individuals were treated merely as revenue sources rather than as individuals with needs and dignity. While Ward acknowledges the importance of businesses being sustainable and profitable, he firmly believes that this should not come at the expense of the individual's health and well-being.
Witnessing firsthand the detrimental effects of unethical business practices, including within his own family, has fueled Ward's commitment to championing businesses that prioritise ethical conduct.
For Ward, it is imperative that businesses operate within the bounds of regulations and guidelines, recognising and valuing individuals as people rather than solely as sources of profit.
