In-Home Support Services To Help Lighten Your Load & Support You To Grow

We provide a variety of In-Home Support services to help disabled adults and children, and their families, to meet the challenges of daily life. These services are designed to assist disabled people of all ages and levels of ability to increase or maintain their independence by learning and mastering new skills, completing regular tasks and activities of daily living, exploring interests, engaging with others, and building social skills.

In-Home Support Services are typically available to anyone with an NDIS plan or funding. However, while all NDIS participants – both adults and children – are generally welcome to access In-Home Support Services and receive assistance with building daily living skills, the level of funding available to each person will vary, depending upon the terms of their NDIS plan.

While we love caring for your little sprouts, Support to Grow exists to provide support to any person who has alternate needs – young or old.

Our amazing disability support workers are carefully chosen to make a positive difference in your everyday life, and we aim to allocate a support worker who matches your needs and preferences, so you feel comfortable and empowered to set (and smash) your goals.

Supports to help your magnificent little mung bean learn to become more independent

Our In-Home Support Services for children are more focused on skill-building and providing parents with some much-needed down time. Our awesome support workers can:

Help your children to tackle their household chores – this may involve teaching them how to do their chores and assisting them to complete those chores. Examples include helping them to wash dishes, pack the dishwasher, tidy their room, make their bed, or vacuum the floor.
Help your child to develop their talents and pursue their interests – this could involve a wide variety of things, including playing games, taking a trip to the park, reading with or to them, drawing or doing craft activities with them, taking them to music or art lessons, cooking with them, or teaching them to knit… and any number of other learning and development activities.

Support. Learn. Grow.

“Alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Helen Keller

"Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weaknesses."

John Vanier

“You have to rely on your support system... I always thought it was a sign of weakness to ask for help, but now I realise it’s really a sign of strength to say, ‘I need help, I can’t do it all.’”

Kerri Walsh
