OMG!!! Thank you Allies. I can't believe how easy this recruitment process has been with your help.

Tony’s engaging and authentic presentation at our Training Conference was well received by participants from around the country. They couldn’t wait to go back and share what they had learned with others in their organisations to enhance their practice as information and resource providers.

Loved Tony's presentation and looking at inviting him to be a guest speaker at one of our Disability Support Services Networking hui.

I would like to thank Allies Aotearoa very much for helping my wife and I navigate the NASC system to achieve an outcome for our son we would never have thought possible. I would highly recommend you to anyone struggling with the system.

Tony’s grounded training and mentorship have given whānau and support staff across our collective a clear sense of direction to sustain meaningful, connected lives—beyond just ticking off daily tasks. We look forward to continuing the journey with Allies Aotearoa! Nest Family Collective, Auckland.

Revisiting PATH plans in adulthood has helped lift the blinkers that kept us caught in the daily grind. Having this external support to help map the journey was vital, we couldn't have done it ourselves.

Just a big thanks to you for your time and knowledge last night. The way you 'got it' and connected with our parents was just so great, it was such a valuable event for many.

Thanks again for the catch up today,  it really helped and gave us some ideas and some direction moving forward,  so thanks. 

Allies arranged everything around the recruitment of staff and once everything was in place, we weren't forgotten - they regularly contacted us in the coming months to ensure things were running to plan. We highly recommend Tony.

Transitioning our son out of school was an extremely stressful time especially trying to navigate the overwhelming task of applying for funding. Tony's experience, knowledge and guidance was invaluable in this process and we would not have received the outcome we did had he not been involved.

The recruitment service provided by Allies has saved our bacon on more than one occasion.  If you need to recruit - I highly recommend!!

See below, notification of our increase in funding. This is great news, thank you so much for your guidance and advice. I wouldn't have got this result without your input.

Where involvement with Disability Support Services can sometimes leave you in tears, with Tony's help our only tears were tears of relief and happiness. We will be forever grateful for his support and guidance. We could not recommend him more highly.

Tony has been the person I can go to who totally gets what is going on, in terms of disability, and in terms of understanding employment challenges. Keep up the good work, Allies! You are needed.

Tony's support of our family's situation, with two sons needing one on one to live their lives independently, has been huge.  His wisdom and experience has helped us organise a good life for our sons.

Very worthwhile PATH planning session for our son and his whanau.

There has been an empowerment in planning for our future as a family and encouraging [our son] to find his goals, create his dreams, and look to his future.

Meeting in a space facilitated by Tony from Allies was the first time I felt at home with a group of parents in relation to my son. I left feeling a clarity about his future.

It was great to have someone walk beside us as we went through the IF journey. It also helped to look to the future as well. A great wraparound service that is personal and helpful. Thanks 😊

We have appreciated using Tony to facilitate a PATH meeting with our family to vision-cast and also having him as a consultant with whom we can make contact whenever we need it.

Tony has given sound advice and guidance for us as parents navigating the next steps (toward gaining independence) for our daughter. His encouragement and expertise give us the confidence to feel, 'it's going to be okay'.

We worked with Allies to create a Path Plan for our daughter. The Path has served as our blueprint for progress and we love to look back over it and see how much has already been achieved.

Tony was very professional and easy to work with; quickly identifying the underlying issues, identifying the best people to support my son in the short term, and suggesting the best way to get the outcomes we needed.

Love Tony's positive attitude and depth of knowledge. His focus is not always on the disability aspect, but on people and developing capacity and capability.

Thank you for all the work you are doing for us. I value your approach and the support I get from you. I am beginning to find a new strength and see hope for the future.

Tony met with us and our daughter to discuss options for finding employment now that she had finished school. He gave us great ideas and insights and some easy steps to follow.

Tony is great at being the interpreter to enable people to navigate through the complexities of the system.

Great outcome, great communication and sound advice.
Highly recommend!
