Assisting you when you’re finally ready to move out and start living on your own.

Group & Centre-Based Activities

We understand how challenging it can be for someone living with a disability to remain unengaged and to have restricted opportunities for socialisation.

At First Care Solutions, we help you adapt to social situations, build capacity, and improve your well-being through programs designed to initiate social inclusion.

Under the supervision of our experienced health care professionals, we host a range of group and center-based activities throughout Victoria, to suit the needs of our participants, making them feel valued and comfortable within their surroundings.

Assistance with Social & Community Participation

This funding, which is covered under the Core Supports section of your NDIS plan, helps you improve your ability to participate in recreational activities, and independently pursue your passions.

However, the supports funded need to be deemed as a ‘reasonable and necessary’ to help meet the participant’s goals, as outlined under the disability policies and procedures.

Social and Community Participation funding covers costs incurred from getting to and participating in activities, paying a support worker to assist you and it can also be used to fund a range of activities such as planning your next holiday, attending a rock concert, playing a game or watching a movie.

Therapeutic Supports

We dedicate time to fully understand your individual needs and goals to determine the type of therapeutic support you require. The goal of our staff is to encourage social participation, increase independence and provide high-quality supports.

Individual counseling including psychosocial assessments, understanding intellectual disability, and problem-solving

Assistive technology such as bathing aids, walking, and toilet frames, bed levers, stairlifts, etc. to manage personal care and assist with your mobility.

Home upgrades could minor modifications like adding handrails and stair rails, to more complex works such as ground floor bedroom extensions.

Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse societies in the world, with more than 25 per cent of Australians born overseas and around 15 per cent born in non-English speaking countries. This highlights the importance of providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services across the disability services sector.
At First Care Solutions , we keep these things in mind when delivery of disability care services someone from a CALD background.
