Needs Assessment Service Coordination (NASC)

Your health professional can refer you to the NASC in your area. A Needs Assessor will visit your home to assess what type and level of assistance you need: home help, personal care, equipment, service brokerage, carer support or respite care. The information gathered is forwarded on to a Service Coordinator who plans and organises any service provision and supports that the family needs. Under 65 years of age - to find the NASC in your area contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau. (The Auckland NASC is Taikura Trust ph: (09) 278 6314) Over 65 years of age – the NASC is your District Health Board. Details
