TESTIMONIALS
I was fortunate enough to hear of Umoja Lifestyle Support and when I signed the service agreement, I was so happy. Things were being managed and supports were put in place so quickly. I felt respected and understood and Sibbo is a proactive and very kind man. I can't express enough the gratitude I feel."
It is hard to find Support Coordinators who are knowledgeable and who respond in a timely manner. Sibbo at Umoja Lifestyle Support looks at your issue and it is dealt with accordingly. I would recommend Umoja Lifestyle Support to anyone who really wants to be supported."
In that time I have seen the skill that Sibbo brings to his work – his language skills (multi-lingual), his understanding of Australian culture and the cultural issues for refugees.
Sibbo also has a depth of understanding of disability issues at many levels and this is a great strength in his work."
Respect, dignity, and choice are greatly prioritised at Umoja Lifestyle support by all staff members. Unreservedly, I would recommend Umoja Lifestyle Support to anyone who needs support to contact them right away."
