The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has transformed how people with disabilities access care and support in Australia. In Melbourne, participants can now choose from a range of flexible, person-centred services designed to promote independence, inclusion, and quality of life.
From tailored housing to high-intensity care, the NDIS ensures that every individual’s needs are met with dignity and respect.
Here are 7 essential disability services every Melbourne participant should know about — and how SymCare can help deliver them.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) helps participants live as independently as possible while receiving daily assistance where needed.
SymCare’s supported independent living Melbourne services include help with cooking, cleaning, personal care, and developing life skills — all delivered in comfortable, accessible homes. We work closely with families, support coordinators, and allied health professionals to ensure every participant’s plan matches their goals and needs.
Our approach focuses on building independence, confidence, and long-term stability — so participants can live the life they choose.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) provides purpose-built homes designed for people with higher support or accessibility needs.
SymCare’s Specialist Disability Accommodation Melbourne homes are built with premium design, comfort, and safety in mind. Each home features wide hallways, open-plan layouts, step-free access, assistive technology, and 24/7 security systems.
We collaborate with architects and healthcare professionals to ensure each property meets strict NDIS design standards and fosters both independence and wellbeing.
For participants with complex medical or behavioural needs, High Intensity Support NDIS provides advanced, continuous assistance.
SymCare’s high-intensity support Melbourne services are delivered by qualified, experienced professionals trained to manage complex care needs — including medication administration, PEG feeding, behavioural support, and mobility assistance.
Our NDIS high-intensity support Melbourne programs are designed around safety, dignity, and consistency, ensuring participants receive the specialised attention they deserve.
This service focuses on supporting participants with everyday personal tasks such as hygiene, dressing, grooming, and meal preparation.
At SymCare, our team goes beyond task-based support. We focus on helping participants develop independence, routine, and self-confidence through patient, respectful, and person-centred care.
Whether provided at home or within our accommodation, this support ensures every participant can live comfortably and safely while learning to do more for themselves.
Connecting with others is essential for emotional health and inclusion. SymCare’s NDIS assistance with social and community participation programs encourage participants to join in meaningful activities that build confidence and connection.
We support participants to attend local events, join hobby groups, volunteer, or simply explore Melbourne’s vibrant community spaces. As an NDIS community participation provider Melbourne, we tailor experiences to match each person’s interests, abilities, and comfort levels.
Participation helps strengthen communication, confidence, and a sense of belonging — vital ingredients for long-term wellbeing.
While SymCare doesn’t directly provide therapy or allied health services, we work hand-in-hand with trusted professionals — including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists — to support participants’ holistic care plans.
This collaboration ensures our staff follow therapy recommendations accurately, maintain consistent routines, and communicate progress effectively. By integrating therapeutic insights into daily support, we help participants achieve the best possible outcomes across all areas of life.
SymCare also collaborates closely with Support Coordinators, who help participants manage their NDIS plans and connect with suitable services.
Our role is to ensure seamless communication between coordinators, families, and our care teams — so that support delivery is aligned, consistent, and effective. Participants benefit from a unified approach where everyone works together to achieve their goals.
