About Specialised Support Services
Specialised Support Services is an Australian Disability Services provider committed to delivering high-quality, trauma-informed, and person-centred supports that empower people living with disability to achieve their goals, exercise choice and control, and live meaningful, independent lives.
Specialised Support Services is committed to upholding the rights, dignity, and wellbeing of every participant by delivering evidence-based supports that align with the NDIS Practice Standards, the NDIS Code of Conduct, and a human rights-based approach to service delivery. We actively promote the least restrictive approach to care and support participants to reduce restrictive practices wherever possible through Positive Behaviour Support and capacity building.
Our philosophy is simple:
"We are the supportive pathway to specialised care."
We recognise that every person is unique. Our services are tailored to each participant’s individual strengths, preferences, cultural identity, goals, and support needs.
