Disability Support Services Canberra

Daily Living & Personal Support

Some days, it’s the basics that feel hardest to get through. That’s where we begin.

• Support with personal hygiene—showering, grooming, dressing—done in a way that protects comfort and privacy.
• Help with daily household tasks like washing, cleaning, or meal tidying, especially when they start to pile up.
• Gentle routine support—being there to guide, remind, or simply lend a hand when energy is low.

These are the quiet, practical supports that restore flow and dignity to the day.

Health & Therapy Services

For those needing regular care, we bring professional support to where it feels safest—home.

• In-home nursing for medication, wound care, or monitoring ongoing health needs.
• Access to allied health providers—physiotherapists, speech therapists, or occupational therapists—offered in familiar surroundings.
• Support through medical appointments, helping to manage the details and follow-ups that often get lost in the rush.

We walk beside each person, making sure no step is taken alone or unprepared.

Home, Mobility & Access

When a home supports mobility, it stops being a barrier and becomes a partner in daily life.

• Adjusting living spaces to suit individual needs—whether that’s rails, ramps, or bathroom modifications.
• Introducing assistive technology that improves comfort, communication, and independence.
• Supporting the setup of modified vehicles, ensuring travel is safe and practical.
• Guidance with access to Specialist Disability Accommodation when home life requires a more supportive setting.

These changes help make movement feel less like a challenge and more like a natural part of the day.

Community & Skills Development

Support also means helping someone reconnect with the world around them—on their own terms.

• Joining group outings or community events with the right level of support.
• Coaching for employment—practical help with CVs, job interviews, or workplace readiness.
• Life skill building, including financial literacy, communication, and planning.
• Ongoing education support where learning becomes part of growth, not a barrier.

We focus on what the person wants to work toward, not just what the system expects.

Meal & Transport Support

Eating well and getting around shouldn’t feel like obstacles. We help remove those roadblocks.

• Preparing meals that reflect both nutrition and individual preferences.
• Providing reliable transport to and from medical, social, or personal appointments.
• Assistance with life admin—running errands, collecting scripts, or keeping up with appointments.

These aren’t just errands; they’re essential parts of maintaining independence with less stress.

Plan Management & Coordination

The NDIS system doesn’t need to feel like a second job. We simplify it.

• Support coordination to match services with goals and available funding.
• Help with managing claims, invoices, and service bookings.
• Ongoing plan reviews that keep supports relevant as life shifts or goals evolve.

Behind the paperwork, there’s a person—and we work to keep that person in focus, every step of the way.

Hire the Right Disability Support Worker in Canberra

Finding the right support isn’t always straightforward. You might meet a dozen people before finding one who actually gets what you need, respects your boundaries, or simply fits into your day without adding pressure. It’s not just about qualifications—it’s about comfort, trust, and the ability to be yourself in your own space.

That’s why the process of hiring a support worker should never feel rushed or one-sided. You should be part of it from the start. You should feel like you’re choosing—not settling.

Why Traditional Models Fall Short for Real People

For a long time, support was handled mostly through large agencies. You’d sign up, get assigned someone, and try to make it work. Often, you wouldn’t meet the same person twice. You’d explain your routine again and again. Sometimes, you didn’t feel heard. Other times, you were simply left waiting.

That model may be familiar, but it rarely leaves room for a real connection to form. There’s often little flexibility, no guarantee of consistency, and even less say in who’s supporting you.

Support Network offers something different. Instead of being placed with whoever is available, you choose. You speak directly to potential support workers. You meet them, ask questions, and see if they feel right. If they don’t, you keep looking—without pressure, without the awkwardness of starting over through a system that’s too rigid to bend.

A More Personal Way to Find the Right Match

When you work with Support Network, you have options. You can take a self-managed path, where you stay in control of your schedule, your team, and your plan. Or, if you prefer a bit of guidance, we can help you manage the details while still keeping you at the centre of every decision.

This approach gives you space to build consistent, respectful relationships with the people supporting you. It also means your values, routines, language, and preferences are part of the picture from the beginning—not added on later.

It’s support that fits into your life—not the other way around. And in a world where many are still adjusting to care that feels distant or clinical, having that kind of control isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

Why Choose Support Network?

When it comes to disability support, people aren’t just looking for availability—they’re looking for someone who will truly understand the rhythms of their life. Someone who listens. Someone who doesn’t turn care into a system, but into something dependable and personal. That’s what Support Network offers. We don’t just match support workers to participants—we help shape long-term relationships that bring peace of mind and freedom of choice.

We take the pressure off by building a support system that gives people space to live their life the way they want—without constant adjustments, negotiations, or compromises.

Here’s how we make that possible:

• Support when it suits you—not the other way around We don’t box support into fixed time slots. Mornings, afternoons, evenings—whatever works best for your routine is where we begin.
• Every worker is carefully checked before entering your space Safety isn’t something we treat lightly. Every support worker is screened, verified, and checked, not just on paper but with intention—to make sure they’re someone you’d be comfortable with.
• We handle the admin, so you don’t have to Keeping up with invoices, bookings, or NDIS requirements can feel like a second job. We take care of the setup and ongoing details, giving you space to focus on your everyday life.
• Lower fees mean more hours where they count The less spent on overheads, the more left for actual support. Our model is shaped to give you more value from your NDIS budget—not less.
• You choose your team—and you can change it anytime There’s no system locking you in. If something’s not working, you have the freedom to pause, swap, or start again—without the delays and red tape you’d expect elsewhere.
• Support that feels right, not just available Cultural understanding. Shared language. A way of working that respects your pace and personality. We help you find someone who feels like a good fit—not just someone who’s free.

At every step, we’re here to make the process more personal, more respectful, and more in your hands—because that’s where it belongs.

Culturally Aligned Caregivers in Canberra

The most meaningful kind of support is the kind that feels understood—not just in action, but in tone, in language, and in the quiet respect of one’s culture. For many individuals, receiving care from someone who shares familiar customs or speaks the same language can be the difference between feeling like a client and feeling truly comfortable in their own space.

Support Network makes that possible by offering culturally aligned support workers who bring more than training—they bring understanding. We help match individuals with caregivers who reflect their background, values, and spoken language, creating space for trust to grow naturally.

Across Canberra, we offer:

• Arabic Support Workers
• Bangladeshi Support Workers
• Cambodian Support Workers
• Chinese Support Workers
• Greek Support Workers
• Guyanese Support Workers
• Indian Support Workers
• Indonesian Support Workers
• Italian Support Workers
• Nepalese Support Workers
• Spanish Support Workers
• Thai Support Workers
• Vietnamese Support Workers

It’s one of the many ways Support Network makes care personal, thoughtful, and grounded in who each person truly is.

Contact Us

Every person lives with a different rhythm, a different story. Some need daily support to stay steady. Others are simply looking for someone who listens and can walk alongside them when it matters. At Support Network, we offer that kind of care—quiet, respectful, and shaped by what matters most to you.

We support individuals with disabilities, including children, adults, and older people who may be managing a medical condition, recovering from injury, or living with an intellectual disability. Our work spans across homes, communities, and local spaces—wherever life unfolds. We also assist with domestic assistance, social connection, and ongoing capacity building.

The people we support aren’t placed into systems. They’re met as individuals—with room to guide the pace and shape of their own care. And when you're ready to explore what's possible, we’re here—with a friendly team, clear information, and time to talk things through.

Reach out anytime. We’re available even on weekends and public holidays.
