Weigelli Centre Aboriginal Corporation
What We Offer
In conjunction with our twelve-week program, the following services are offered for residents throughout their stay:
Working Development Orders
(WDO')
During admission, residents will be asked about any outstanding fines. If they have any, Weigelli staff will implement a Working Development Order to assist in reducing the debt while they receive treatment. This approach ensures that residents can focus on their recovery without the added stress of financial burdens.
One to One work with caseworkers
Case Management Plans
Caseworkers are dedicated to providing personalised support to each resident throughout their stay. They assist with various challenges, including legal, medical, and family matters. Caseworkers measure client progress through the use of COMS .
Their goal is to equip residents with effective solutions and resources to help them successfully transition after completing the program.
Case management plans are personalised to meet the unique needs of each client. They are dynamic in nature and can be adjusted regularly to reflect changes in the client's circumstances. This flexibility ensures that clients receive the most effective support and resources throughout their journey.
