Client Services
Multitask's Client Services provide support for people with disabilities by offering a range of programs including Residential Support and Day Services.
Over recent years we have expanded the number and style of services on offer. It is our belief that each person is an individual and that the model of service delivery should match the persons own requirements and abilities. We continually look for innovative, effective ways in which we can support people with disabilities to lead active lives as independently as possible.
