Real, local support across Northern Melbourne.

The north is two things at once. There are the established suburbs — Preston, Reservoir, Pascoe Vale, Glenroy — with settled communities, older housing and families who have been in the same street for decades. And there is the growth corridor running up the Hume and out to Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, Epping and Sunbury, where whole suburbs have appeared in the last twenty years and the infrastructure is still catching up.

That gap shapes support. In the established north, community is already there and the work is usually connecting into it. Further out, a participant might be twenty minutes from the nearest shopping centre and an hour from a specialist appointment, with public transport that assumes you are heading into the city rather than across the suburbs. Rosters here have to account for real driving time, and we plan them that way rather than promising a worker who cannot realistically get to you.

The north is also one of the most culturally diverse parts of Melbourne — Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Turkish, Assyrian, Vietnamese and more recent African and South Asian communities, often several generations deep. Matching a support worker to language and culture matters more here than almost anywhere, and it is usually possible.

On the ground here

What support in Northern Melbourne really looks like

Real distances, planned for

The outer north is spread out and cross-suburb public transport is thin. We roster around genuine travel time instead of hoping it works.

Deep community ties

Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Turkish, Assyrian, Vietnamese and newer African and South Asian communities — often several generations in the same suburb.

Northern Hospital and local health

Coordinating around the Northern in Epping and the community health services along the Hume and Plenty corridors.

Family homes with room

More space than the inner city, which opens up options for supported living, home modifications and having support come to you.

A support worker who has to cross the city to reach you will not last the year. Proximity is not a detail, it is the whole roster.

How this starts

Getting started in Northern Melbourne

  1. Tell us where you are

    Your suburb, and roughly what you are looking for. That is enough for us to know whether we can help in Northern Melbourne.

  2. A real person calls back

    Within about 2 hours, in business hours. Not a form response — someone who can answer questions.

  3. A free Meet & Greet

    At home, somewhere neutral, or over video. No commitment, and no pressure to decide on the day.

  4. You decide what happens

    If we are the right fit, we build the support around you. If we are not, we will say so.

Northern Melbourne questions

Support in Northern Melbourne, answered

The suburbs we name run from the established north — Preston, Reservoir, Thomastown, Bundoora, Glenroy — out along the Hume corridor through Broadmeadows, Dallas, Meadow Heights, Roxburgh Park, Craigieburn, Epping, South Morang and Sunbury. That is the list we can point to rather than the limit of where we work. Tell us your suburb and we will confirm honestly what we can put near you.

That is the right question to ask, and it is why we plan rosters around real driving time. A worker who has to cross the city to reach you will not last, and swapping people constantly is worse than waiting a little longer for the right match. We will tell you at the Meet and Greet what is genuinely sustainable where you live.

In the north, usually yes. It is one of the most culturally diverse parts of Melbourne and our workforce reflects that. Tell us the language, culture or background that matters to you and we will look for it properly rather than treating it as a preference to note down and ignore.

Yes. We coordinate supports around hospital appointments and discharge, including with the Northern in Epping and the community health services through the Hume and Plenty corridors. If you are coming out of hospital and need support arranged quickly, say so when you call — it changes how we prioritise.

Not in the north. Our offices are in the CBD, Albion and Fraser Rise, with a regional hub in Ballarat. It rarely matters — almost all support happens in your home and community, and we come to you. If you would prefer to meet somewhere neutral first, we will find somewhere that suits you.

Yes. Changing provider is your right under the NDIS. Check any notice period in your current agreement, and we will coordinate the changeover so your supports continue without a gap.
