Assist Life Stage Transition - Support Coordination

We understand the importance of choice and control in the lives of people with disabilities and their families. At Breaking Barriers Disability Service, we offer Support Coordination and collaborate with these individuals to identify their priorities and desired approach to service delivery.

Our Support Coordination services involve developing schedules for daily, weekly, and long-term support in collaboration with clients and their families. We provide support at every stage to help individuals achieve their goals.

Community Nursing

Our Nursing team offers community-based medical assistance, nursing care, treatment, and support tailored to each individual’s preferences. We understand that each person with a disability has unique needs, so we provide a range of support options to help them make informed decisions.

Assist Personal Activities

Assistance with daily living involves supporting regular personal activities and overseeing daily tasks. Breaking Barriers Disability Service aims to offer reliable and respectful assistance to ensure daily needs are met on time.

Daily Task Shared Living

People with disabilities thrive in homes designed for their unique interests and needs. Shared Living cultivates lasting relationships, fostering self-esteem and interdependence.

MID-TERM ACCOMMODATION

If short-term accommodation isn’t the right fit, then we also offer medium-term accommodation tailored to participants needs, complete with 24-hour Support Workers ready to provide high-standard of care.

Short Term Accommodation (STA)

Breaking Barriers Disability Services also offers STA (Respite) to our participants. This service can be provided in our homes or at a resort, giving both families and participants a well-deserved break that we all need.

SPECIALISED SUBSTITUTE RESIDENTIAL CARE (SSRC)

Our Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC) provides vital support for children and young individuals who need specialised care and attention outside of their usual home environment. We offer short-term accommodation while adhering to the Child Safe Standards.

Our goal is to empower children to overcome past challenges and build a brighter future.

What others say about us

“There are loads of providers that talk a good game but Breaking Barriers Disability Services really do what they say they will do. After I had my stroke, I found my life totally turned upside down. But the staff and the support workers are making a real difference. Breaking Barriers are truly person centred and respectful of my culture. I have choice and control as to how I want to be supported and I am continually encouraged to reach for my goals to have my best life.”

“Breaking Barriers Disability Services stand out from the rest. I am currently being supported for every day living skills as well as community access. This gives me the opportunity to do the things I really want to do while having the help I need. The staff have been a wonderful support to me and will go above and beyond to ensure I am always happy with their services. I feel they are focused on me and will match support workers to my interests and needs. I am so grateful to be able to have them – the small things they do make a big difference to me.”

I have been using Breaking Barriers Disability Service (BBDS) for the care of my husband Antonio De Vita, who’s in need of 24/7 care in our home. I highly recommend BBDS for the care and services they provide.

All the support workers are outstanding, professional, kind and caring.

BBDS and support workers go beyond to ensure the care of my husband.

Inge De Vita Participants Wife

We have been using the services of Breaking Barriers for the last 10 months to support my son Kaiden. Before finding Breaking Barriers I was given the run around from a lot of different companies that could not accommodate Kaidens needs or the times that were required for him to be picked up and dropped off at school. As soon as I talked to Breaking Barriers they were very welcoming and have always been able to help out and adjust times and days when needed.

All staff from Breaking Barriers have always conducted themselves with professionalism and given Kaiden the respect and dignity he deserves. I can’t put in words how much breaking Barriers have helped in our lives and have even given me the confidence to attend a TAFE course and become a disability support worker myself.
