Being of service to people with disabilities
No one likes their support worker sitting on tiktok while you are just there being ‘supported’. If that's what people define as support then we need to find a new word or something. If the support worker isn't interested in you as an individual then we need to find a new support worker! Genuine support should feel like an extension of you. It should fit into your life, your personality, your needs and desires and be flexible to suit when things change. Find out more about the types of support we offer below.
To find the support workers and types of support that you actually want to have in your life
Community access
Finding what you love and bringing it to your life
How good is it actually having some fun, enjoyment, desire, and passion in your life? We believe this is at the core of providing community access. If you are a bit stumped on how to create this kind of experience, then we make it our mission to help you get there. We can't promise that you're going to be happy all the time, this is just impossible and not healthy, but we can promise that we can help you find some of these moments!
Domestic assistance
Be assisted in keeping the home a place of refuge
Really, this is about your support worker also helping out with some of the chores around the home. Be it cooking, washing clothes, making the beds, doing the dishes, or just giving that dam toilet a really good scrub. Whatever it is that you need to be supported in to have your home more functional we can help with that.
Self-Care
Making your personal care a top priority
They say that you should treat your body like a temple and for a lot of people with a disability this can be anywhere from somewhat difficult to actually impossible. This is where we step in, we can help with all the chores, jobs, and processes needed to look after your physical being. This can be as simple as helping you to attend a doctor's appointment to as complicated as helping a person who's a quadriplegic with all of their daily personal tasks.
Capacity Building
Be supported while embracing new challenges
One constant in the universe is change and capacity building is all about this. At Meliora we love this as we can assist people in developing new skills, attitudes, goals, life choices, and aspirations that would potentially help them live a much more fulfilling, self-responsible, self-determined, and independent life. Capacity building dismantles those barriers between where you are now and what positive change looks like for you. We find it very exciting and hope you will too.
STA and respite
Experience comfort and care with our unique experiences
Whether you and your carers are burnt out and need time and space to recover or maybe there are exciting new activities and places you can’t wait to explore and experience. At Meliora, we are all about spending the time with you and developing an adventure or trip away that is always completely unique. We have never done two STA’s the same, because there are no two people that are exactly the same.
The NDIS has given us the tools, resources, and framework to work with. Combine that with our can-do attitude and we will help you to really reach those goals and dreams that you have. As each experience is different, so is our pricing, as we always aim to be fair, effective, and efficient with the money that is being used rather than just charging the maximum we can as a money grab.
Transport
Choose how you want to move
We all need to get from one place to another and having the right vehicle to do that is what we are about. From small electric cars to big wheelchair-accessible disability vans, we either have it covered or will help find the best solution for what you need. It's all about being efficient and effective with the resources being used.
