Overview

What is Same Day Assistance?

Same Day Assistance provides short-notice disability support when you need help sooner than expected. Depending on availability and your support requirements, Harissons Disability Care may be able to arrange assistance on the same day.

Same-day support isn’t guaranteed. It depends on support worker availability, your location and the type of help you need, so call us as early as you can and we’ll tell you straight away what we can do.
