This is the story and testimonial from David, one of EnableU’s valued clients. It shares his background, the challenges he faces living with multiple sclerosis, and the ongoing support we provide through physiotherapy, occupational therapy and daily living assistance.
Living with MS in Sydney’s South
David Thompson, a 46-year-old NDIS participant, lives in an apartment in Hurstville in Sydney’s south. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) five years ago, he experiences challenges such as fatigue, mobility issues and reduced fine motor skills. Despite this, David is committed to staying independent and continuing his career.
His work requires him to relocate every few years, which makes it difficult to maintain consistent support. What gives him peace of mind is knowing that EnableU is not limited to one area. With teams across Sydney and regional NSW, David has been able to access the same level of support wherever he goes, without the stress of starting over with a new provider.
Navigating Daily Challenges
Living with a progressive condition means that everyday tasks can be unpredictable. Some days, fatigue makes it difficult for David to cook or keep up with household chores. On other days, mobility issues make routines like shopping or organising his home more complicated.
For David, the concern was not only managing the symptoms of MS but also having access to a disability support provider he could rely on. He wanted a team that understood his situation and could adjust services to his changing needs, regardless of where he was living in Sydney.
Finding Local Support with EnableU
When David connected with EnableU, he found an organisation that could grow with him. As part of the NDIS Sydney provider network, EnableU offered flexibility by ensuring that if he moved to another suburb or even another region in NSW, his supports would move with him.
The process of updating his details, such as address changes, was straightforward and stress free. David valued this, as it meant he could focus on his health and his work without being weighed down by administrative hurdles.
Building Strength and Confidence
Through EnableU, David receives physiotherapy and occupational therapy to help manage his symptoms and maintain mobility. He also benefits from support with daily living tasks, which allows him to conserve energy and stay active at work.
Outside of work and therapy, David takes pride in caring for a small collection of botanical plants on his apartment balcony. This hobby gives him a sense of calm and routine, and complements the support he receives from EnableU.
Reflecting on his experience, David shared:
“What makes the biggest difference for me is knowing I can rely on the same team no matter where I move. They listen, they understand my condition, and they help me keep on top of the things that would otherwise be too much.”
More than Services, It’s Community
For David, EnableU represents more than just care. It is about maintaining independence while knowing that no matter where work takes him, whether in Hurstville or another suburb across Sydney, he has a trusted NDIS support Sydney team ready to step in.
By being present in multiple suburbs across NSW, EnableU ensures participants like David can continue to live with dignity, independence and confidence, backed by a provider that feels local wherever they go.
