Others find the processing of a sensory overload exhausting, or can be unsure how to communicate or navigate a social environment.

Our approach centers on strengthening structured routines, developing communication skills, and encouraging a social environment that is tailored to a person's objectives.

NDIS and other Government Funding for Indonesian Families

Navigating disability support services in Australia can be daunting due to government funding programs like the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). We at Support Network equally recognize that navigating the process can be a daunting task for many Indonesian families, not merely because of the paperwork involved, but also because of issues around language, unfamiliarity with government processes, and an arduous road of seeking culturally appropriate support. That’s why we make every step of the process easier, so that families can get the funding and support they deserve.”

What Does the NDIS Mean for You?

A funding program is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) owing to individuals with disabilities, who seeks for the funds to access services like personal care, therapy, mobility assistance, and community engagement. But navigating what funding is available, how to apply for it and how to spend the money wisely can be confusing.

Support Network adds structure to the chaos that is life after loss, helping Indonesian families navigate:

• Eligibility Assessments – Assisting individuals in understanding if they are eligible for NDIS support.
• NDIS Applications + Plan Development – Helping individuals with their paperwork, medical records and application lodgement.
• Understanding Funds categories – responding uses for daily living, social participation and therapeutic services
• Reviews & Adjustments – Making sure families are utilizing their money effectively, without the stress of confusion or lost funds.

Families can communicate freely in their mother tongue with our Indonesian-speaking support team, removing any language barriers to ensure a smooth and stress-free process.

NDIS and Beyond: Other Options for Financial Assistance

Though NDIS is one of the most significant funding providers, it’s not the only one for families looking to source disability support services. We also assist in accessing:

• State and Territory Disability Support Programs for extra care providing funding.
• Grants for Aged Care and Dementia Support
• Carer Support Payments to assist family caregivers in getting financial support.
• Individual Employability/Disability Employment Services (VDS) — for those with disabilities who need workplace accommodations and help looking for a job.

We relieve families of the burden of supporting the funding applications we provide them with, how to explain the benefits they have available, and even be their representatives in obtaining the maximum possible from their entitlements.

Connecting You to Community Access and Social Inclusion

Disability isolation is one of the biggest challenges facing people with disabilities. More important than daily feeding, bathing or moving the body is the social connection, the meaningful exchange and the feeling of belonging for the person living with dementia. At Support Network, we recognize that participating in the community goes beyond simply showing up to gatherings: it’s about being valued, feeling included, and fostering empowerment.

Cultural connection is almost as important as social inclusion for Indonesian families in Australia. This is why, through our Indonesian support workers, we don’t just want people to receive support, but we want them to be active in the communities that matter to them, that align with their culture, their customs and their tastes.

Access to Cultural and Religious Gatherings

Cultural events like Indofest-Adelaide, Pesta Rakyat in Sydney and the Balinese Kuningan Festival in Melbourne honour Indonesian traditions, music and cuisine in Australia where there’s a vibrant Indonesian community. Our support workers facilitate easy transportation, accessibility, and guidance during these events, enabling people to further explore their heritage. These are the things we bring them, whether it be for traditional dance shows to enjoy or just concocting experience of the culture of Indonesia.

Participation in religious organizations is no less important. Many Indonesians go to mosques for Friday prayers, churches for Sunday services and Islamic study groups (pengajian), where young men and women seek spiritual comfort in belonging. For major religious occasions such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, etc, our caregivers help with attending prayers, preparing for communal feasts, staying festive.

Family is the center of Indonesian life, and nobody should be excluded from weddings, reunions or significant celebrations. Where we support people to access and enjoy these occasions, assisting with transport, personal care and social interaction so they can share these experiences with their loved ones.

Social Outings and Recreational Activities

Indonesian communities host regular meetups, cultural workshops, and language-exchange programs in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, giving people a chance to socialize with others in a relaxed, familiar environment. Batik making classes, traditional dance workshops, and Indonesian cookery events provide opportunities to discover one’s culture along with the other members of the community. Our caregivers also help reveal avenues for transport, participation, and confidence, so that no one is left behind.

It can be an Indonesian community event, an informal visit to a café or an established activity to hone new skills — our aim is to break down barriers and encourage social integration. With tailored support and compassionate care, we add life to years, ensuring people live a connected, rich life, where the community and culture is at the centre of everything they do.

Promoting Employment and Volunteer Engagement

For many individuals with disabilities, participating in the workforce or volunteering is fulfilling and offers a sense of purpose. The journey towards employment can be tough without the correct guidance and support.

Our support workers provide:

• Career transition (help with getting a job and going to an interview).
• Recommendation for accommodations in work settings; helping transition to the workforce in a new environment.
• Tutoring in voluntary work; enabling an opportunity to support others whilst developing confidence.

Our mission is to empower individuals to participate in society, using their talents and dreams to make a difference — no matter their background.
