Care services
Supported Independent Living
DCR operates an ‘Extended Care Model’ which features a dedicated care team of two (2) staff (with one reserve to cover staff illness or other emergencies), each of whom work on rotation with a client on a ‘live-in’ basis on average for five (5) to seven (7) days.
As a registered NDIS provider, our disability care services support those who live with physical, intellectual or psychosocial disabilities through delivering:
- Supported Independent Living (SIL)
- Community Participation
To access accommodation and community access support, participants require funding through NDIS or NIISQ. NDIS provides supported accommodation (SIL) funding packages that meet individual needs. Accommodation support can be on a 1:1 basis or shared support (1:2). The NDIS or NIISQ determines this level of support.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides people with an intellectual or physical disability with the means to transform their life.
We provide our participants with assistance in accessing education and training programs, day programs, and paid work for those eligible.
Our community participation initiatives also enable them to participate in shopping outings, sporting clubs, regular visits with friends and family as well as cinema and amusement venue visits.
Full supervision of clients on community participation is provided by our support staff if required.
