We're a not-for-profit, community-centred organisation
To navigate the NDIS and make the most of their supports
So that we can give each client the attention they deserve
Because everyone deserves dignified and compassionate support
Helping people to develop roots and give back to their community
At Southern Rivers, we foster inclusive and empowered communities. Our journey began with a simple mission: to enhance the lives of people from across Victoria, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. By offering tailored NDIS support and advocacy, we're proud to enable our clients to confidently engage and contribute to their communities, enriching the lives of everyone involved.
As a purposefully medium-sized organisation, we thrive in delivering adaptable, targeted assistance to our clients.
Your unique goals take centre stage, shaping individual support plans in collaboration with your whole family.
NDIS core supports include 1:1 services that assist participants in their daily life, such as personal care, transport, and help with household tasks, enabling people to achieve greater independence and well-being.
Capacity building focuses on enhancing participants' abilities and skills, providing support in areas like employment, social participation, and improved living arrangements, empowering people to reach their full potential.
Community nursing provides professional, trained clinical care to participants in their own homes and local community settings, ensuring their medical, physical and emotional well-being is well supported.
Support coordination involves working closely with participants to understand their needs and goals, assisting them in navigating the NDIS. We connect participants with the right providers and services to maximise their outcomes and support their journey.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) offers accessible and adaptable housing solutions for participants with significant support needs, ensuring they have comfortable, safe, and tailored living environments that promote independence and well-being.
Assistive technologies encompass a range of devices and equipment designed to improve participants' functionality and independence. This includes mobility aids, communication tools and home modifications, catering to people's specific needs and enhancing quality of life.
We're committed to providing safe and ethical NDIS services by strictly following the NDIS Code of Conduct, Practice Standards and Quality Indicators. By prioritising participants' rights, we ensure that everyone is treated equitably and has fair access to necessary supports in a secure and safe setting.
Southern Rivers operates from its headquarters in the Melbourne CBD, but supports people living with disability right across Victoria.
