Community access

What this support is

Community access is support to do the things that happen outside your home. Appointments, the shops, the library, a class, sport, a walk along the Broadwater, or simply a coffee somewhere that is not your kitchen.

It can include transport in a worker's vehicle where that has been agreed in advance.

Who it might suit

People come to us for community access for all sorts of reasons. A few common ones:

• Getting out has become harder than it used to be, and going alone does not feel safe
• You have goals in your plan about community participation, work or study
• You would like to try something new and would rather not do the first few times on your own
• Appointments are piling up because transport is the barrier

How Gold Coast Devoted Care is different

Community access falls apart when the worker changes every week, because half of it is the relationship. We allocate the same worker wherever possible and brief them before every shift, so you are not re-explaining yourself each time.

Before any support begins, our Founder & Director meets you in person to understand your routine, preferences, communication style and goals. The worker match is made from that conversation.

What happens when you get in touch

1. You call, email or send the form — no NDIS terminology needed.
2. We reply the same business day and ask a few practical questions.
3. Our Founder & Director meets you, usually within a couple of days.
4. We confirm the worker, share your plan with them, and tell you who is coming.
5. Support starts, and we check in after the first shift.

Where it is available

Across the Gold Coast, Logan and Brisbane South. If you are just outside those areas, ask anyway.
