Our community services are for people with disability who want support to live more independently, build skills, stay connected, and enjoy life in their community. We tailor supports around what matters most to you, your goals, interests, and pace.
Most of our services are funded through the NDIS. If you are unsure whether your plan covers a service, our team can help you understand your funding or connect you with Support Coordination to explore your options.
That’s okay. Many NDIS plans are flexible. If your goals align with building independence, community participation, or wellbeing, you may still be able to use your funding. Our team or a Support Coordinator can help you understand your plan.
Yes. Everything we do is person-centered. We work with you to understand your goals, whether that is building daily living skills, making friends, staying active, travelling, or living more independently and tailoring those supports around what works best for you.
Yes. Families and carers are welcome to be involved in planning, goal setting, and communication as much or as little as the participant chooses. We value collaborative support.
Absolutely! Many people use a mix of services. For example, Day Programs alongside In Home and Community Support, or Support Coordination while living in one of our Independent Living Homes.
We focus on supporting and advocating for those we provide services for. We are all about choice, and genuine connections. Our services are shaped around you and we’re not a one-size-fits-all model. We prioritise respect, consistency, and meaningful outcomes that support independence and belonging.
Getting started is easy, simply contact our team at enquiries@thebridgeinc.org.au or fill out our intake form and our friendly team will guide you through your options and next steps.
