Is your gut instinct saying someone might not be doing so well? Perhaps they're just not themselves and you've noticed a change in what they're saying or doing? You've got what it takes to ask "are you ok?" and make a difference.

The NDIS has dramatically changed the lives of many.

Here, our participant demonstrates her ability to independently pack up the breakfast table.

This helps her gain a sense of independence and basic day-to-day living skills.

Overtime, this will assist our participant to be able to demonstrate these skills alone without any supports.
At AusGroup Victoria, this is what we aim for.

Our goal is for our participants to live their day-to-day lives independently.
