About us? No, it's about you.
Here for you when you're needing extra levels of support & complex care
Teamwork makes the dream work
Empower Living helps you reach goals you thought were out of reach.
We’ve found that teamwork is everything. Great accomplishments start with working together. We believe collaboration leads to the best outcome.
We work together with families, individuals and other support people to help you get closer towards your goals.
Here's the plain-English truth of what we stand for:
Endlessly flexible:
We're here for what you need - We fit with you, not you fitting to us.
Complex mental health care:
It's only effective when support workers are appropriately qualified and experienced.
Holistic:
It's more than just words on a brochure. It means that most challenges participants face need to be supported from a couple of different angles. We'll try out a few ways of helping to see what helps at the root cause of challenges. That's because we are not into Band-Aid solutions.
NDIS results:
Your NDIS funds should be well planned and well-spent. We stand for helping you get results for your efforts and funding.
