In-home & community supports
At Compass, our In-Home and Community Supports are delivered through a person-centred approach that ensures each individual’s needs, goals, and preferences are at the centre of their supports. We begin by developing a tailored support plan in consultation with the person, their family, and key stakeholders. This plan identifies specific NDIS goals, daily living needs, and opportunities for community participation.
Lester doesn’t let his disability get in the way and never has. He always finds a way to overcome any hurdles, is determined and will adapt. I’m proud of everything he’s achieved and the person he has become.
Our dream for Jy is for him to have the absolute best life that he can have, without putting any boundaries on it.
I remember being in hospital, anxiety-ridden, trying to weigh up the pros and cons of where to send Damien. It was my eldest son who had spoken to David (CEO of Compass, which was back then called “Aiki-Abilities”). They were so new then, so we knew nothing about them. But when we spoke to David, we trusted him and his approach…
Caitlin is the first person to dive in and help, especially with larger Compass wide projects. She loves to meet visitors at the farm and share our appreciation with the community for their support. She is a natural promoter and always makes you feel seen and loved.
Dylan now has a busy week working with Compass. He has achieved more confidence and become more adaptable to ever-changing situations. He has connected with his peers and trainers and become quite a happy young man. Working at the Café makes him feel like part of a team. He also feels like he is contributing, like his friends and family, having a job and working towards life goals.
Our support workers are carefully matched based on skills, experience, and personal compatibility to foster trust and consistency. They assist with a wide range of tasks, from personal care and learning how to complete household jobs eg; washing, cooking, cleaning and simple maintenance to skill development and accessing community activities. Emphasis is placed on promoting independence, dignity, and choice, ensuring individuals have control over how and when supports are provided.
In the community, supports are focused on building connections and inclusion. This may involve accompanying individuals to appointments, recreational activities, social groups, or employment and training opportunities. Safety, respect, and professionalism underpin every interaction, supported by continuous staff training and adherence to quality standards.
We regularly review and adjust support plans to reflect progress, changing needs, or new goals, ensuring that each person receives flexible, reliable, and outcome-focused support that empowers them to live the life they choose.
