NDIS Provider Sydney

If you or someone you love has a disability and wants to continue living freely at home and in the community. They can enjoy the quality, professional, and knowledgeable services of the SUPPORT NETWORK. We want to improve the physical and social well-being of people with disabilities. We aim to help them be independent. We want them to live fully and reach their goals.

We are sure that with the ongoing support of dedicated NDIS care providers, they can organise their lives better. Society tends to underestimate people with disabilities. It often assumes they cannot lead fulfilling lives. 

They should not be held back from opportunities, education, work, or social activities. With continued support from a NDIS care provider, they can join in completely. We have a proven record of delivering high-quality, personalised care with excellence and empathy, both in Sydney and elsewhere. Our services are usually to both clients that have subscribed for the NDIS funding and those that are Privately funded. 

You need the right NDIS registered provider that can manage your NDIS funding and also deliver the required services.

What do we do?

We provide quality services to NDIS participants by working with NDIS support coordinators. They create personalised care plans and help participants access funding. You will find the support services we provide below:

1. Domestic support:

This involves different types of help for NDIS participants. It aims to assist them with daily household tasks that are hard to manage because of their disability. It includes cooking meals, taking care of the garden, shopping for groceries, and moving furniture for mobility aids. It also covers laundry, vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas, decluttering, and much more.

Family members can also be relieved of the burden, most especially when it has gotten overwhelming, to ensure a clean, safe and healthy living environment for their loved ones. 

This service is vital because it lowers the possibility of domestic accidents and health issues at home. It allows the relatives to stay focused on their personal growth and engagement. It also improves the independence and quality of life of the NDIS participants.

2. Self-care

This care service under the NDIS support provides individuals living with disabilities with the performance of their daily activities and personal grooming.  

Physical, psycho-social and intellectual disabilities hinder the capacity to carry our care independently. This often includes assistance with oral hygiene, changing catheters and diapers, assistance with mobility to the toilet using the wheelchair, helping with dressing up and undressing, babysitting services, etc.

As long as our clients laugh, achieve their goals and enjoy each day living comfortably and independently in their home. It gives us so much joy. We feel more fulfilled helping NDIS participants achieve confidence and optimal physical and mental health.

At the SUPPORT Network, we always ensure respect, dignity and privacy in our daily activities.

3. Transportation services

Without any doubt, transportation is one of the essentials needed for our everyday living. The lack of accessible transportation has limited the dreams and goals of individuals with disabilities. That alone can significantly hurt and deteriorate the health of the patients.

This NDIS service is here to help participants travel safely. It ensures they can access quality education, employment, healthcare, and community activities. With this scheme offered by the Support Network, personal and educational dreams will be fostered. In a nutshell, access to transportation is access to unending opportunities to grow and glow beyond present circumstances. The aspirations of individuals living with disabilities should not be put on hold. Get them the necessary help with the Support Network.

4. Companionship

This ability to connect with our clients is one of our strong points. Oftentimes, clients are not always confident to say what their needs are, but we have trained experts who can also read body language (non-verbal communication) and still derive essential information from it. Some key aspects of companionship include the following:

Visiting NDIS participants' homes can lead to friendly and insightful chats that everyone enjoys.

• Going on a walk together.
• Watching movies indoor
• Attending classes or hobby centres together.
• Providing constant emotional support and reducing isolation.

At the support network, we greatly embrace this because of the positive effects it brings to the participants' quality of life.

5. Respite care

Do you need to take a break as a primary caregiver to an individual living with a disability? Support Network can be your escape route from stress and overwhelming tasks. 

This implies that a temporary relief can be given to you so that you'll rest or attend to your appointments and engagements. Oftentimes, some relatives opt for a change of environment. Depending on the needs and choices of each client, our respite care services may be provided in the community, short-term in a lodge(Respite Centre) or at the NDIS participants’ home. 

This care package is very useful in ensuring the continuity of care in the absence of the primary caregiver. Some of the supports usually delivered during respite care include; personal care, administering medications, cooking and feeding assistance, behavioural supports 

6. Skill development

This section focuses on teaching essential life skills and lessons to individuals with disabilities. At some point, they will need their problems to be solved. As such, depending on the age and severity of their health challenges, they should be able to navigate and learn to adapt to their surroundings differently and their learning dynamics. They can be taught unique ways of performing their tasks in sync with their mental and physical capabilities.

For instance, a muscle dystrophy patient can learn home management skills of placing items on the shelves starting from the lowest. This has so much to do with developing a creative and problem-solving spirit. For someone with Autism spectrum disorder(ASD, examples of skills that need to be developed will be communication skills, emotional regulation and how to use public transport.

7. Disability Accommodation Services:

There are different types of disability. This is because every individual with disabilities has their uniqueness. So, a single housing option would not be effective for everyone because disabilities vary greatly in terms of their severity, type and level of support. 

Disability accommodation services under the NDIS include

Supported Independent Living(SIL)

This is a type of support that allows NDIS participants to live in their respective homes. It's mostly for people with disabilities who need constant and greater assistance. A great deal of help will be rendered in the day and also at night. You're eligible to apply for this option if you live alone or with other NDIS members.

Some other services under SIL include:

• Daily task supervision.
• Budgeting and shopping support.
• 24/7 personal care assistance.
• Help with household chores.
• Drug administration support

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)

This service suits individuals who require complex care and constant supervision. It is aimed at individuals facing major functional challenges, like those with spinal cord injuries. A person like this can have their SDA home fitted with automatic doors, height-adjustable kitchen benches, and a power wheelchair. This type of support mostly features a purpose-built home and can be combined with supported independent living (SIL).

Individual Living Options (ILO)

NDIS participants can pick the environments that suit them best. This flexibility allows individuals with disabilities to find the right fit for them. This might involve living with friends, living alone with specific days and times of visitation, co-residency with an NDIS care provider or living with a supportive family member. This type of support gives NDIS participants the freedom to make their own choices.

Short-term Accommodation (STA)

This is for individuals who want to have a break from their immediate environment. It supports family members and loved ones who would want to take a break from the daily overwhelming tasks.  This temporary accommodation gives respite from full-time caregiver responsibilities.

Medium-term Accommodation (MTA)

This is designed for individuals waiting to transition or relocate to their permanent housing. E.g. SDA home.

Generally, disability accommodation services allow a safe and accessible living environment tailored to individual needs.

8. In-home Aged Care:

The NDIS serves mainly those under 65. However, some participants who joined before turning 65 still want to receive support. This is allowed!

For the participants, personalized care will reduce the risk of hospitalisation. They will also be helped with assistive technology like mobility aids as well. Aged care package enhances the quality of life, relieves pressure on family members, and creates a supportive environment that will make them thrive in their respective communities.

9. Nursing Care:

This type of care focuses on managing complex medical needs related to disabilities. It consists of medicine administration, wound management, catheter care, autism support, respiratory assistance, diabetes management, arthritis care, and other related services.
