The Outreach Service

If you are living with a disability, we can help you to develop the life-skills you want so you can be more independent in your community.

Is this program for me?

We can work with you if you are:

  • living with a disability
  • aged from 6 to 64
  • living without paid support
  • planning to move out of supported accommodation.
How can the program assist me?

The support we provide you is based on your needs.

An Outreach Worker can work with you on specific tasks. We can:

  • help you develop the life-skills you want
  • link you to social and recreation events in your area
  • help you to develop day-to-day skills like budgeting, using public transport, using a diary, house cleaning and cooking.

We will visit you in your home to:

  • work out the things you can do
  • talk to you about the things that you would like to learn
  • find out what things make it hard for you to reach your goals.

After this first meeting we will then draw up a plan of the things you want to achieve with your outreach worker and how we will seek to achieve them together.

Please note:

You may like a family member, friend or another person, who is important to you, to help when you are a part of the program.
