Disability Matters Inc, is the Tablelands largest NDIS Provider, with over 20 years experience in the arena.

We provide Plan Management, Support Coordination, and Direct Support (including in home, community access, Supported Independent Living, and Short Term / Medium Term Accommodation).  We provide services from Cardwell to Cape York, although the direct support activities are limited by reasonable driving range for our Tablelands based support workers.

Individual support for you - in home or in the community

Disability Matters provides individual support to clients either in their own home or in the community.

Whether it’s personal care, capacity building to develop independent living skills in and around the home or even help with household tasks, Disability Matters can help to provide personalised supports for you.

We can assist with social and community participation and the development of daily living skills. We also have staff that can provide employment and education support. Members of our Coordination team are also trained in behaviour management and can offer you strategies for managing behaviours.

Our staff have received training on the importance of focusing on client goals at each support shift and reporting on those goals. Including people with a disability in community life helps build more inclusive and diverse communities. It enriches community life for everyone and helps break down barriers and promote better understanding.

We promote community inclusion by providing support to clients who desire to:

🟠 Maintain and develop life skills and increase independence
🟠 Continue learning and participate in meaningful leisure, recreational, social and cultural activities
🟠 Participate and be included in the local community
🟠 Have active and valued roles in the community
🟠 Expand friendships and support networks
🟠 Be supported in making the transition from school to adult life

We have an amazing team of dedicated and experienced staff and we conduct recruitment of new staff on a regular basis. Many of our staff have completed their Certification III in Individual Support and we have also put many of our staff through high intensity workshops so they have the required skills to support individuals who need that extra level of care.

Housing and accommodation - Supported accommodation for you

For those times when everyone just needs a break, we provide 24-hour support in accommodation at our Cook St house in Atherton.

The house provides overnight care, 7 days per week. With up to four clients able to stay at a time, the house has built up a reputation of being a caring, supportive and enjoyable “home away from home” for people living with a disability.

Clients are encouraged and supported to participate in a variety of activities whilst at Cook Street, both indoors and outdoors. Some activities we offer at Cook Street include:

🟠 Access to a sensory room
🟠 Music sessions
🟠 Craft sessions
🟠 Fun days with BBQ’s and games
🟠 Outings into the community and local attractions including Tinaroo Dam, Lake Eacham, local parks and whatever other activities or events are being held

Younger clients at the home often feel they have gained some independence away from their families whilst their parents have peace of mind knowing that their child is being appropriately supported.

Our support at Cook Street is based on a 1 support worker to 2 clients (1:2) ratio, however, we have the ability to scale down to 1:4 or up to 1:1.

Supported independent living for you

Disability Matters manages supported independent living (SIL) houses where housemates are provided with 24/7 support. This is their home!

Supported independent living is a wonderful opportunity for people who wish to live their own life, have the company of a housemate/s and there is the comfort and reassurance that care and support is in place all day every day.

Our support workers provide assistance with banking, shopping, domestic chores and skill development if and when required. Assistance and support are provided to enable the residents to pursue their own particular interests, and become contributing members of their community. This support strengthens the client’s independence and gives peace of mind to their, often elderly, parent carers.

Disability Matters can source a home for those who are interested in pursuing this option. We will guide you through the NDIS pathway to gain the required SIL funding and if required also find you a compatible housemate.

If you are interested in SIL in the future, but not quite ready yet, we can place you on a ‘waiting list’ for when a vacancy becomes available in one of our existing houses.
