Working Alongside Therapists & Allied Health Providers in Melbourne

At Mind & Body Support, we believe the best outcomes come from strong communication and teamwork between participants, families, therapists, schools, and support providers in Melbourne. Our collaborative support services focus on creating consistent, practical, and personalised support across everyday life.

We work alongside speech therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals to help reinforce routines, strategies, and participant goals both at home and within the community. By maintaining consistency between therapy sessions and everyday support, we help participants feel more confident, supported, and comfortable as they work towards their goals.

Our services are available to NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, as well as private and self-funded clients. No matter how your support is funded, we work with you to create flexible, person-centred support that fits your goals, your routine, and your budget.

Communication With Support Teams

At Mind & Body Support, we value open and collaborative communication with the people involved in a participant’s support network. We can work alongside families, therapists, carers, teachers, and other support providers to help ensure everyone remains aligned with participant goals, routines, and support strategies.

This collaborative care approach helps create more personalised and effective support while promoting consistency and positive outcomes.

Collaboration With Schools & Education Providers

For younger participants, strong communication between families, schools, and support teams can play an important role in creating positive and consistent support experiences. Our team can collaborate with schools, teachers, and education providers where appropriate to help support routines, communication strategies, participation, and overall well-being.

We understand that consistency across home, school, and community environments can help participants feel more comfortable, supported, and confident in everyday life.

Supporting People with a Wide Range of Disabilities & Conditions

At Mind & Body Support, we believe every person deserves support that is tailored to their individual strengths, goals and needs. Our experienced team works with children, teenagers and adults living with a wide range of physical, intellectual, neurological and psychosocial disabilities, adapting our support to help every participant feel confident, capable and included.


We proudly support participants living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Intellectual Disability, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Global Developmental Delay, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s Disease, Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke Recovery, Epilepsy, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Schizophrenia, and many other disabilities and health conditions. Whatever your goals, we’ll work alongside you to provide personalised, compassionate support that promotes independence, wellbeing, community participation and an improved quality of life.

Supporting Behaviour Plans & Everyday Strategies

We understand the importance of consistency, structure, and positive support strategies within everyday environments. Our team can assist participants by helping reinforce behaviour support plans, routines, communication approaches, and practical strategies recommended by therapists or support professionals. We focus on creating calm, supportive, and positive environments that encourage confidence, wellbeing, independence, and meaningful participation within the home and community.

Reinforcing Strategies at Home & in the Community

Many therapy and support strategies are most effective when reinforced consistently within everyday situations. Our team can help participants apply routines, communication strategies, emotional regulation tools, social skills, and practical supports within real-life home and community environments.

Whether it’s during social outings, fitness activities, appointments, school routines, or everyday life at home, we focus on providing supportive one-on-one assistance that aligns with each participant’s broader support goals.
