Understanding The Unique Needs of Nepali Families

For many in the Nepali diaspora, caregiving isn’t merely a profession — it’s a deeply embedded value, a way of life. We know that families often feel reluctant to seek outside help, anxious about what feels like a gap between Western healthcare systems and their own cultural expectations. That’s where our Nepalese support workers come in—not just as professionals, but as part of your family. We provide the link between the medical needs and the cultural sensitivities, so that everyone receives the necessary help in a manner that is comfortable, dignified and enabling.

And offering support around everything from helping someone with daily living activities and navigating through NDIS to helping them stay connected with Nepali community events, we ensure to customize our support around every need you have.

Be it a hot dal bhat meal made exactly how a client prefers, playing of their beloved folk songs or helping out in prayers in the morning, our Nepalese disability support workers incorporate these small yet significant intricacies into routine lives.

Community Involvement: Supporting Nepali Australians to Remain Connected

Disability should never prevent someone from being in the community, being seen as part of a culture, and developing as a person as much as they desire to do so. But for many people with disabilities, especially within the Nepali Australian community — social isolation is one of the biggest issues. To have language barriers, mobility issues, and fewer culturally relatable activities can sometimes cause individuals to not fully participate in the community. That’s where Support Network comes in.

Faith and Cultural Traditions

For many Nepali Australians culture and faith are deeply knitted into everyday life. Going to a Dashain or Tihar festival, visiting a temple, joining a community prayer group, is not a choice; it is part of being.
