Thinking of switching your current care provider?

Our team is highly specialised in completing the necessary documentation to facilitate your transfer from one provider to another.

We work with individual clients to support transfers from care providers and ensure that the process is always seamless and professional.

Switching your care provider can be the result of many considerations such as your current experience being generalised, not personalised or the level of care and compassion at your current provider not aligning with your needs. Independence Care believes that clients should be empowered to reflect on their current services and have the support they need to transfer their care should the require.
