We understand that everyone is different. We believe in creating a support plan with our customers and their families – one that is tailored to their unique needs and wishes. Our main focus is of one-on-one and two-on-one support, developed in consultation with the customer. Our aim to is to provide a personalised and consistently high standard of quality care and open communication for individuals.

The types of services we offer range from employment and independent living skills training, personal care, assistive technology support, transport, social inclusion and community activities. We can even help out individuals and families for just a small break or holiday.

Disability Support Network was established by Kathy Norelli in 12th August 2017. While working in the disability community, Kathy identified a need for a more personalised, empathetic approach and an individual support service for adults with disabilities. Having a son with disability inspired her to create a nurturing environment where customers have real control and choice over their service, to be able to live their lives to the fullest.

WE LOVE OUR CUSTOMERS

"My daughter has been involved with this service for over a month now and she is learning so much. They have given her many new opportunities such as developing work skills for the future, meal preparation, building on social skills, increased capacity to follow her routines especially in the morning (much less stress for me these days as she loves her morning routine checklist so much....she is ready on time for her day!). Kathy and Tony go above and beyond to meet her needs, liaising with therapists to help meet goals. They are great!! Life is good. The future looks bright for Holly." - via Facebook

FROM KATHY

“I am amazed by the insights and determination that the customers I work with show. Seeing people with disability in the community having fun, laughing, and interacting with others is very important to me. When the young adults I work with achieve goals, no matter how small, I can see them laying the building blocks to self-confidence and strength for everyday life. It gives me great joy to help them achieve new goals.”
