Catherine Cash has been my support coordinator since I was accepted by the NDIS because of a stroke i had afflicting my left side in January 2023. As it was my first year with the stroke, my brother Joe (my carer) and I had no idea how it all worked. Catherine has helped us through it all. She has always been there for us with appointments and getting aides etc to help me through this hard thing that i have to learn to live with. Whenever we ring or email, she is there almost straight away to help. Her knowledge and contacts have helped us immensely.

I am happy that Oak Tree Alliance have come into our lives. I’m happy with the providers that Mohana has put in place for us. Mohana is a lovely person, there is good communication and she responds to all our needs.

Mohana has lifted a weight off my shoulders like i can never truly explain, with what Mohana has done and taken care of me in just these short few months, she's like a guardian angel. I just wish I had Mohana or knew of this sort of support years ago, it would have just relieved so much stress off me as a full time working mum and career for my daughter.
