We believe that it’s important for all our clients to have a good understanding of what a psychosocial disability is, and how it impacts a person’s capabilities in life as well as their living conditions. Family and friends’ quality of life can also be significantly affected when trying to care responsibly for an individual who finds it incredibly difficult to maintain an adequate level of self-care. For instance, they may be time poor when trying to access appointments for their loved ones, or experience stress and anxiety by attempting to care for a mentally unwell person who has a poor ability to manage their own life.  

BJDSS able to bring all essential supports to psychosocial clients responsibly and ongoingly. We offer a caring service that covers an individual’s social needs and helps a person live an improved life to the best of their capacity. These levels of assistance include life motivation, personal care requirements and completing complex tasks.

Mentoring service aimed to support & motivate each other and targeted at young people (aged 7 to 35) who have a disability and are NDIS eligible.

We provide a safe environment to help build their confidence, get involved in their community, increase their resilience & open their minds to new possibilities. While spending quality time with a young person, our NDIS Mentors are responsible for supporting and empowering people who live with disability to lead a meaningful life and participate in their community in a way they choose. This also involves preparing, monitoring, and reviewing each individual’s NDIS Plan, to ensure person-centred support is always delivered and their goals identified are being achieved.

We create long lasting mentoring matches that aim to develop the young person’s skills, explore their hobbies and get involved in their community. Our priority is to match you with a young person who has a shared interest and complimentary personality. We focus on building your confidence together, empowering young people through choice and control to foster resilience and positive life choices within their community.

Medication Support can often be provided as part of a care plan paid for by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Whether you’re already using the NDIS to fund your support package or you would like to explore the options available, we can help.
