About SupportedPlus

SupportedPlus is a registered NDIS provider delivering consistent, community based disability support across Corowa, Rutherglen, Howlong, Albury-Wodonga and surrounding communities. We grew from a real need in our region — for dependable workers, meaningful communication and disability services that understood local life from the inside out. Our approach is shaped around real local needs, with support that is personal, respectful and built on trust. Our values are honesty and trust, respect and inclusion, responsibility and courage, excellence, hope and collaboration.

How We Work and the People We Support

We respect each participant’s choices, culture, identity and voice, so support is safe, dignified and genuinely theirs. Participants are always involved in decisions about their own support. Our team’s role is to listen, learn each person’s routine, and deliver support with respect.

The people we support range in age from 17 years and upwards, and may be living with physical mobility challenges, neurological or cognitive conditions, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, acquired brain injury, mental health conditions, or psycho-social disability, including high and complex support needs. Support is delivered flexibly across different days and hours, in participants’ own homes and communities.

• Always uphold participant dignity, privacy, choice and decision making
