KoalaKare’s
NDIS Disability Support Services
Our support workers help you face challenges in your daily life due to your disability.
What We Do
The level of support for every participant varies depending on their needs and goals. After assessing a participant’s needs, we include those core supports as part of their NDIS care package. Here are the different supports we provide.
Travel Assistance
We provide help to participants by accessing public transportation options for them such as a bus, taxi, and train. If a participant cannot use public transportation or their vehicle, we are happy to drive them to an event or appointment. We ensure our support workers are on time, so they do not miss any commitments. We provide transportation for participants to attend sporting events, movies, concerts, community events, and social gatherings.
Household Tasks
Everyone deserves to have a comfortable, safe home. Our NDIS support workers help supervise and assist you when performing difficult tasks around your home. Having a clean home lessens the stress on a participant. Some household tasks we help with include cleaning, laundry, outdoor yard maintenance, and cooking. With this core support our participants can relax and feel comfortable in their home.
Participation in the Community
Engaging in the community helps individuals build a sense of belonging and learn practical skills for jobs and school. Participants learn about teamwork, showing up on time, and other life skills through daily community activities. Community events may include classes for learning a new hobby, sporting events, and volunteering.
Daily Personal Activities
KoalaKare helps participants with daily personal activities in and out of their homes. We want to help participants build their independence to complete tasks on their own. Some daily personal activities we assist with include showering, brushing teeth, and medication monitoring. Knowing your look and feel your best creates a confident attitude toward the world.
Life Skills and Daily Living Tasks
We focus on teaching participants about life skills through daily living tasks. Participants with disabilities may have difficulty performing certain things able-bodied people take for granted. Our support workers teach individuals the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and other common tasks. This helps them advocate for themselves and have confidence when going about their daily lives.
Support at Anytime
Our NDIS service providers at KoalaKare are here to help you anytime, day and night. We provide active or inactive night support for our participants. Active night support is when participants need care throughout the night. Sleepovers, or inactive night support, are when a participant may or may not need care. We offer flexible scheduling for whenever you need us. No matter the time, we treat our participants with respect and compassion. You can be assured you receive the correct amount of support, personal care, mealtime supervision, transport assistance, and other NDIS daily living supports.
Support Funding
Through NDIS
When creating your NDIS plan, your support funding is distributed into three categories. The three categories include core, capacity, and capital supports. Core support is assistance with daily activities to achieve your goals. Capacity-building is when support workers increase their life skills to perform tasks independently. Capital supports are for participants who need higher-cost home modifications and assistive technology for their daily life. KoalaKare is proud to offer core support services to its participants.
Home Modifications and Assistive Technology
Along with the three types of disability services, home modifications and assistive technology may be included in your NDIS plan. These additions help individuals achieve their goals and perform day-to-day activities with little to no assistance. Vehicle modifications, wider doorways, grab rails, and other tools are considered assistive technology. Our goal is to have participants lead independent, fulfilling lives throughout our disability support services.
NDIS Provider for Melbourne and its Surrounding Areas
If you need disability services, KoalaKare is an NDIS-registered provider. We understand how each participant has a unique set of needs and goals, so we customise the services we provide around their life. Our support workers provide a safe, kind environment for participants to achieve and tackle new milestones. This allows participants to feel comfortable and work towards completing daily activities independently.
Why Should You Choose KoalaKare?
Professional, Caring Staff
We are an NDIS provider with compassionate, professional staff. We assist and supervise participants when doing daily activities in their homes. We strive to help participants feel safe and comfortable in their homes. Our support workers, no matter the time, provide consistent care to individuals.
Each Participant is Unique
We understand each participant has specific needs and goals. When determining the support a participant receives, we look at their difficulties and how our support workers help them reach their goals. Living an independent lifestyle is closer than what many participants think and by partnering with KoalaKare as your NDIS service provider, you are putting the right foot forward.
Servicing Your NDIS Plan
We work closely with participants, their families, and their support coordination team. We believe this helps our workers better understand the needs and goals of the participants. If you signed up for NDIS disability services on your own, we work with you and your NDIS support coordination team. Another reason we work with the participant’s family is they may be the primary caretaker. It may be difficult for the family to take a break or attend other events due to the participant needing care. Our support workers are here to provide relief or decrease the amount of care they provide to the participant.
Matching Participants with Support Workers
After deciding the level of support our participant needs, we match them with a worker best suited for them. We want participants to have a healthy, caring relationship with their support workers. This helps individuals feel confident and increase their independence to perform tasks around their homes.
Integrating Life Skills
Not only do we provide disability support services, but we also teach our participants about life skills. From completing household tasks to going to community events, there are many skills participants learn. Teamwork, independence, showing up on time, and other skills help participants in different areas of their life. These skills could help them apply for a job or be more active in school. Our employment disability services help individuals apply for and maintain a job. Employment disability services transport participants to their job if other options are unavailable.

Our pricing is good for everyone. Our users pay less, our workers earn more and our rates come in under the NDIS.

Our NDIS Goals
At KoalaKare, our goal is providing upstanding support to our participants. We aim to deliver high-quality care to every participant. This allows individuals to enjoy and live a stress-free life in their homes. Using a “one size fits all method” does not help participants reach their goals. We customise each participant’s plan to fit their needs and achieve their goals. We believe this is an important step to understanding what support worker fits best with the participant’s needs.
Fulfill Participant’s Needs
By providing high-quality care, our participants can achieve their goals and take on new challenges while being independent. We assist and supervise participants in and out of their homes. From participating in community events or doing household chores, KoalaKare is here for you. We are here to encourage and support participants in their journey to increase their independence and self-confidence.
Help Families
Families are always encouraged to be part of our NDIS disability service process. Caring for someone creates emotional and physical demands that many family members are unable to bear. We understand the toll a disability can take on loved ones which is why we are here to help. Through support and compassion our disability services staff will help you address household needs. Our NDIS core supports are designed to lessen the burden placed on families. By helping with household chores, personal care of the participant, and transport needs, we can increase the participant’s independence thereby lessening their dependence on their family.
Increase Our Service Area
While we are based in Melbourne, Australia, we want to continue expanding our services across the nation. We strive to be an NDIS service provider for many Australian communities in need of disability support. We want to make our high-quality services available to eligible individuals.
