We empower individuals of all ages to thrive in their daily lives by providing comprehensive and personalised support. Through our dedicated and compassionate team, we aim to foster physical, cognitive, social, and emotional well-being, supporting our clients in achieving their highest potential and enhancing their overall quality of life.
Specialist Behaviour Support focuses on evidence-based strategies and person-centred supports that address the needs of the person with a disability and the underlying causes of behaviours of concern.
Our occupational therapists are NDIS registered practitioners who utilise evidence-based strategies in conjunction with a person-centred approach. We support individuals to reach their full potential with a focus on their activities of daily living and what is meaningful to them and their support system.
Our speech therapists are NDIS registered practitioners who utilise evidence-based strategies in conjunction with a person-centred approach. We support individuals to reach their full potential with a focus on their ability to communicate and interact with family, peers and the wider community.
Our specialist NDIS psychologists take a person-centred approach to care. We support a wide range of clientele, including those with diagnoses of ASD, intellectual disability, schizophrenia and acquired brain injury. Our expertise lies in delivering a wide range of intervention techniques, including cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, and attachment-focused therapy.
We respect all people and ensure we conduct ourselves and our work respectfully.
We believe, act, and conduct ourselves in a manner that builds trust and is trustworthy
To continue to work in an ever-changing industry with an endless range of people, rules, and problems, we aim to be creative in how we approach our daily work and any changes, challenges and resolutions.
To continue to be challenged and roll with the resistance of change, we aim to approach each day and the work we do with an open mind.
We feel that to be effective and fulfilled in our roles, we must be connected to our peers, teams, community and greater organisation. We strive to be united in our value driven approach to the work that we do, whilst staying connected to each other, those who we help, and the community.
We hope to approach all situations with a curious mind so that we continue to learn and not become close minded or an ‘expert’, with the aim of continually improving ourselves, our work and the organisation.
