Every person learns and grows in their own way. At Mind & Body Support, we provide tailored support for people with intellectual disability through fitness, community participation, life skills and in-home assistance. By focusing on individual strengths, interests and goals, we help participants develop confidence, increase independence and enjoy meaningful involvement in everyday life.
Everyone’s journey is different, which is why personalised support matters. At Mind & Body Support, we take the time to understand each person’s strengths, interests, goals, and the way they like to learn. By getting to know the individual first, we create tailored services that fit naturally into everyday life.
We provide personalised support across Melbourne for children, teenagers, and adults with intellectual disability. Through a range of NDIS services, including personal training, community access, life skills development, social and recreational support, and in-home assistance, we work alongside participants to build confidence, develop practical skills, and support greater independence.
Our approach is flexible, encouraging, and focused on helping each participant achieve their goals at a pace that feels right for them.
Before support begins, we take the time to understand what matters most to the participant. We learn about their current abilities, interests, routines, preferred ways of communicating, and the goals they’d like to achieve.
We also work closely with families, carers, and support coordinators to ensure everyone is working towards the same outcomes. Whether the goal is learning new life skills, becoming more confident in the community, or building healthy routines, support is personalised to the individual and can grow alongside their changing needs.
Learning new skills happens through consistency, encouragement, and repetition. Our team adapts support to suit each participant, creating an environment where they can build confidence without feeling rushed.
Depending on the person’s needs and goals, our approach may include:
By taking a patient and personalised approach, we help participants develop skills that support greater independence in everyday life.
Our one-on-one personal training sessions are tailored to each person's abilities, goals and interests rather than following a one-size-fits-all program. We take the time to understand how each participant learns, communicates and stays motivated, creating enjoyable sessions that build confidence and encourage long-term participation.
With a dedicated trainer providing consistency and support, participants can improve fitness, independence, self-esteem and everyday wellbeing at a pace that feels right for them.
For many people with an intellectual disability, staying active is most enjoyable when fitness is engaging, supportive and matched to their individual abilities. Our programs may include gym training, outdoor activities, walking groups or community fitness, all adapted to each participant's interests, goals and confidence.
Regular physical activity can improve strength, coordination, confidence, social skills and overall wellbeing while creating opportunities to build independence in a positive, encouraging environment.
Learning is different for everyone. We provide personalised educational and homework support that helps participants develop practical learning strategies, build confidence and strengthen everyday skills.
Whether it's completing homework, improving literacy and numeracy, developing organisation skills or establishing consistent routines, our support is tailored to each participant's learning style, abilities and personal goals.
Developing everyday skills can create greater confidence and independence over time. Through our life skills and capacity building services, we support participants with practical skills such as communication, budgeting, meal preparation, travel training, decision-making, personal organisation, and establishing daily routines. Supports are tailored to each person's goals and introduced at a pace that suits their learning style.
Being involved in the community can help build confidence, independence, and meaningful connections. Our community access and transport services support participants to attend appointments, go shopping, participate in social and recreational activities, develop travel skills, and explore their local community with personalised assistance that encourages independence wherever possible.
Home is often the best place to build confidence with everyday skills. Our In-Home Support services provide practical assistance with daily living while encouraging participants to develop greater independence at their own pace. From establishing routines and preparing simple meals to household tasks and personal organisation, we tailor support to each person's goals, helping them feel more confident in their own home.
Every person with an intellectual disability has their own strengths, abilities and goals. Mind & Body Support provides personalised support that helps participants build confidence, develop practical life skills and become more independent in everyday life. Every program is tailored to the individual's learning style, interests and aspirations, creating supportive experiences that encourage meaningful participation, personal growth and lasting confidence.
Meaningful progress is built through understanding the individual, developing trusted relationships, & creating opportunities to build confidence every day.
