I'm Aftab Cheema, and I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to my role as Managing Director at ResicareSA. With a robust background spanning over a decade in healthcare and disability services, I am deeply committed to empowering individuals to live fulfilling lives within their communities.
My journey in the healthcare sector commenced in 2012,where I served in various capacities, including roles within the esteemed Flinders Medical Centre and Country Health SA. As a general practitioner, I had the privilege of working closely with families, understanding their unique needs, and providing compassionate care to all.
In 2019, I transitioned my focus to the disability service sector, driven by a profound passion for enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Within this realm, I have been actively involved in setting up supported disability accommodation houses, enabling clients to access essential programmes and services while fostering independence with the support of dedicated professionals.
At ResicareSA, my primary goal is to ensure that our clients receive the utmost care and support tailored to their individual needs. As Managing Director, I take pride in being client-focused, working tirelessly alongside families to achieve their goals and aspirations.
One of my key responsibilities is assisting clients and families in navigating the complexities of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). I collaborate closely with external agencies and providers to deliver optimal outcomes, advocating for additional support whenever necessary.
As plans approach review, I diligently follow up with providers to track progress and secure any additional funding or support required to meet our clients' evolving needs. Moreover, I oversee compliance with the Special Disability Accommodation (SDA) standards, ensuring that our residences meet the highest criteria for our clients' comfort and safety.
In addition to our supported disability accommodation services, ResicareSA offers in-home support tailored to individual NDIS funding plans, providing a comprehensive range of services designed to enhance quality of life.
Continuously attuned to the needs of our clients and their families, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting them on their journey towards a fulfilling lifestyle. At ResicareSA, we are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
