A variety of disability support services are offered by Waves Of Ability.

You can contact us via the form on our website to get support from Waves. 

At WAVES, we match our staff and participants based of location, personality, experience and interests. We invest the necessary time to thoroughly understand the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each participant, ensuring that our support workers are appropriately aligned and equipped to deliver optimal assistance.

Short-term accommodation, often referred to as respite care, provides participants with a temporary reprieve in a nurturing setting. During this period, individuals can take part in a range of activities, receiving 24/7 care, building relationships with others, practising life skills and experience a refreshing change of surroundings, allowing both them and their families the opportunity to rejuvenate.

Our one-on-one and two-on-one support is customised for each individual, with personalised activities that resonate with their goals and interests. This can encompass community excursions, skill enhancement sessions, and leisure activities that cater to the participant's preferences.

These activities are paid for by the participant. It is recommended that if possible, you hold a valid NSW Companion Card. 

Companion Cards allow caregivers and support workers discounted entry to participating venues, lowering the costs associated with accessing venues with the necessary support and accomodations.

We first request you fill out our Onboarding Forms where any known risks or behaviours are documented for Staff knowledge. We then risk asses scenarios, considering parking situations, venue safety, other disabilities outside of ASD (Epilepsy,  Genetic Disorders etc) and make decisions from the information we collect. 

Mandatory reporting for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) refers to the legal requirement for certain individuals and organizations to report suspected or actual abuse, neglect, or exploitation of people with disabilities who are receiving NDIS services. This obligation helps ensure that people with disabilities are safeguarded from harm and that their rights are protected.
