WHAT WE DO
support workers
This type of support is tailored to...
-
what you need
-
what your funding can be used for
-
how you want supports to be delivered.
It includes:
-
In-home support. For example:
-
assistance with basic domestic tasks, cleaning, activities of daily living, routine, and low-level personal care
-
-
Outreach & group support. For example:
-
accessing the community, attending appointments, participating in groups and activities
-
We can help provide structure, routine & support to the challenges in everyday life
-
We want the people we support to feel empowered and comfortable in achieving their goals, regardless of the ups and downs of their journey.
-
We work in line with any relevant NDIS goals you may have, as well as any specific goals you would like to make with us.
-
These goals are usually about building independence and skill development, being able to access the community and participate in social activities, and receiving support to reside safely in your home.

-
Link you into other NDIS services including, but not limited to: occupational therapists, speech therapists, behaviour support, counsellors, physiotherapists, groups and programs.
-
Support you with a hands-on approach. We make it our personal policy and commitment to meet all participants face-to-face on a regular basis.
-
They are an informal advocate and will get to know you and liaise with your care team to identify what your goals are, and what services are required to help you work towards these goals.
support coordination
-
The role of our support coordinators is to fill the gap between you and your NDIS support network.
-
This can be included in your NDIS plan in different ways:
-
support coordination
-
psychosocial recovery coaching, and
-
specialist support coordination.
-
-
Based on which level of support you are funded to receive, this service establishes an informal advocate and additional support for your guidance and skill-development.
-
Basicially, we do the administrative heavy lifting for you.
-
Our support coordinators go above and beyond!
-
We believe that effective service is based on face-to-face contact
and accountability. -
They are required to meet with each client a minimum of once
per calendar month, and touch base each fortnight to provide
their clients with some stability and the reassurance/security that their
needs are being looked after. -
Our coordinators and coaches have qualifications and
experience in social work, individualized support, mental health,
community services, and counselling. -
We have a unique, streamlined approach to organising and connecting services, providing holistic care and support, and value “coming together” as a network for the benefit of each individual participant.

-
Are they someone you can get along with? Are they easy to talk to? Are they good at listening to you?
-
Do they have lived experience of mental illness and recovery?
-
What are their level of qualifications and experience, and ongoing training?
-
Are they registered or not registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission?
-
Are they available to support you at times and locations that are suitable to you?

wellness & training
-
A recovery coach is an NDIS-funded worker that uses their mental health knowledge to support your recovery. They can...
-
Spend time with you, and people important to you, to get to know you and understand your needs
-
Help you find out about different services and supports, and how these can help you
-
Help you get support from mental health services
-
Help you better understand the NDIS and support you with the NDIS
-
-
The NDIS recommends that people either have a support coordinator or psychosocial recovery coach, to make the best use of NDIS funding. However, depending on the situation, you may choose to have both.
