Household Tasks
Household Tasks is an NDIS support category that covers assistance with tasks around the home, such as cleaning, laundry, shopping and meal preparation. The aim of this category is to help you maintain a clean and safe living environment, and build your own skills in managing your home.
Community Engagement
Community Participation and Group Activities is a category that aim to help you to participate in social and recreational activities, sporting events and community groups. We help you build social connections, learn new skills and achieve personal goals. You'll enjoy a greater sense of community involvement and enhance your quality of your life.
Allied Health - Occupational Therapy
Our Occupational Therapist works with people who have physical, sensory or cognitive challenges that affect their ability to perform everyday activities, such as cooking, dressing, and working. Your Occupational Therapist will also recommend modifications to the house you live in or suggest assistive devices that can be used to make activities easier and safer for you.
Allied Health Therapy Assistance - Speech Pathology
We offer a unique speech pathology service delivery model that is both affordable and accessible. Our experienced Therapy Assistants work under the guidance of a Speech Pathologist to provide assistance according to a tailored plan. They spend time with the participant, building rapport and providing support that is tailored to individual needs and goals. This approach can be particularly helpful for people who need ongoing therapy after a stroke or have acquired brain injury, but can also benefit a range of other people.
Our services are designed to be both practical and affordable, helping you to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Daily Living Skills
Daily Living Skills is an NDIS capacity building category that aims to help people build skills and independence in everyday activities. This category covers support and training in areas such as personal care, meal preparation, household management and budgeting.

Community Nursing
Community Nursing is an NDIS support category that allows for nursing care to people living with disability in their own home or shared accommodation.

SIL, MTA, STA, Respite, Travel
Our SIL / MTA Home ("Lily") located in Mickleham offers 24/7 in-house support care in a 1:3 ratio setting. Shared low ratio accommodation promotes independence and improves the mental health of residents and enhances their social connections.
Our STA / Respite Home ("Isabela") is located in the lovely and quiet suburb of Beveridge. It provides a short break for you, and gives your carers a break from their caregiving role.
Both homes are situated close to nature and wildlife, guaranteeing a peaceful and relaxing time. Both have comfortable and cosy living spaces, with well-appointed bedrooms, beautiful backyards and patio areas for outdoor enjoyment.
Our team of compassionate and experienced caregivers are dedicated to providing personalised care and support to ensure your stay is enjoyable and stress-free. We offer a home away from home.
We also accommodate your travel support, whether it's a therapy trip interstate or specialised surgery or even overseas holidays.
We're here for you, whenever you need us, because we love to help you thrive!
Support Coordination - Level 1 & 2
Our Support Coordinator connects you with the most appropriate local supports and resources and improves your funding budget by coordinating and monitoring your bookings.

By working closely with you and service providers, our Support Coordinators not only help address your immediate needs but also proactively help you build your skills.
