Our Support Services

Living with a disability can be challenging, both for the individual and their family. We appreciate that care is a 24-hour, 7-day, 52-week situation and no matter how much we try, we all at times need a little help and support. That's why we are here. Whether it be daily in-home or community supports, short term respite, or longer term SILs, we are here to support you.

The team at The Place For Belonging specialise in providing mental health supports to those living with such conditions as Acquired Brian Injuries (ABI), ADD, ADHD, ASD, Oppositional Defiance, Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Global Delays and many other mental health conditions. We are a registered NDIS organisation and a member of the Queensland Alliance for Mental Health.

Our goal is to help you unlock your potential so that you can live the most fulfilling life possible and be the best version of you; so that you have the opportunity to live, love and laugh, to form a human connection, to feel like part of a community, and to feel like you belong. We do this by listening to and understanding you.

In understanding what drives you and your passions, we then create fun activities to help you learn, to help you develop your capacity and ultimately, to help you achieve your goals. We know that some days you are going to find it hard and there will be setbacks. That's life for all of us. We appreciate though that you may have more challenges to overcome than most, and that's why we "Believe it's Possible" ... we believe in you, your hopes and your dreams, and we stay focused on your journey.

Service Offerings

Assistance with Daily Life

Sometimes, we just need a little, or big, hand with the everyday tasks so we can achieve greater independence and live as autonomously as possible. That's what "Assistance with Daily Life" is all about.

So whether it be daily chores or household responsibilities such as cleaning, showering or cooking a meal, maybe even feeding the chooks, our team are there to assist and collaborate with you (rather than do it for you) to promote your development and capacity building and to foster your independence.

Community Access & Support

Community access not only plays a crucial role in fostering connections and enabling collaboration among individuals, it also enhances your physical, mental and social well-being ... and we are here to help you get the most out of your life.

Our team can support you in every way (mobility, communication, navigating to a location, assisting with purchases etc) to attend concerts and festival, go to the local markets, help you with your groceries, attend appointments, enjoy outings and experiences, or just catching up with friends.

Respite/Short Term Accommodation

We understand that the need for short-term care can arise suddenly and for a range of reasons.

Respite allows the carer and their family to restore their energy, reduce stress and keep their life in balance, enhancing their capacity to continue caring for their loved one in the long run; all while giving the participant the opportunity to try new challenges and experiences, develop new skills, and build independence.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

SIL is a type of NDIS support that provides 24/7 care in an individual or shared living environment, be it in a private rental or your own home. It can be invaluable if you require more support than your informal support network can provide.

SIL supports help you with daily life. Our support team can assist you with personal care activities, help with cooking meals, shopping for groceries, medication management, keeping your home safe and tidy or help getting to and from appointments.
