Mossman will soon be able to meet the needs of people with a disability and the aged when they open their Life Ur Way office on April 12.

The service areas will cover Craiglie, Port Douglas, Mossman, Julatten and up as far as Daintree Village.

Office Manager Samara Nugent said Life uR Way is a Cassowary Coast Far North Queensland locally owned and operated company.

“Our main objective is to bridge the gap in services in the area, for people with a disability and the older population. We provide in-home and community-based support including social support, community access, domestic assistance, group activities and more.

“We work towards helping people to reach their goals and build their independence, as well as making friends and having fun.

“We will have a coordinator in our Mossman office and she will commence duties on April 12.

“We chose Mossman as we heard from locals that there was a lack of suitable services for NDIS Participants and Aged Care Clients. We want them to be able to have a local face they can go to and local staff to support them,” said Nugent.

She said the name of the organisation sums up what we want to provide to our clients – to assist them to live their life, their way.
