Our Service Philosophy: “Let’s find a way”
Not all disabilities are visible
At Supported Care we understand that a Mental Health Diagnosis can feel challenging and confusing and comes with unwarranted community stigma. Supported Care works with customers together with their families and friends’ network to support and enable you to reach your full potential – without stigma or preconceived ideas of your own personal potential.
Supported Care provides NDIS Support Services that allows people living with mental illness and disability to access supports that help you build independence and work towards your goals. Find out more on how Supported Care can help you today!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Psychosocial Disability?
We understand this term ‘Psychosocial Disability’ may be a term you haven’t heard before, or have had referred to as a diagnoses or trait. To explain simply, a psychosocial disability is when you experience barriers to living a full and contributing life, due to the way you think and feel and act.
You may find every day activities such as working, getting out and about in your community, keeping fit or attending social events tough or be completely out of your reach. Supported Care offers customers individualised NDIS Psychosocial Disability Supports to assist them with daily life at home and more.
