Exceptionally Complex Support Needs Program
Building Queensland's disability sector . . .
The Exceptionally Complex Support Needs Program (ECSNP) has been established to support and grow Queensland’s sector capability to ensure participants with exceptionally complex support needs are provided with professional, evidence based support that can stabilise support requirements and promote independence.
