NDIS Respite & Support Services
Personalised NDIS respite, mentoring, and capacity-building supports for young people with disability. From daily living to leadership, we empower participants to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
Because Every Young Person Deserves a Life of Dignity, Belonging & Opportunity
At Ready 2 Change, we believe every young person living with disability deserves more than just support, they deserve connection, growth, and a future they can be proud of. Our NDIS Respite and Support Services go beyond the basics. We provide genuine care, life-building opportunities, and relationships that last.
We work under multiple NDIS support categories providing tailored, flexible assistance that helps young people live, participate, and thrive in their homes, schools, and communities.

Our Support Workers & Mentors
Every team member is:
- Fully qualified with Working With Children Checks & NDIS Worker Screening
- Trained in First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, therapeutic and trauma-informed care
- Experienced in working with Autism, ADHD, behavioural challenges, and complex needs
- Continuously trained in NDIS guidelines, youth safety, and best practices
What truly makes our team special is their lived experience. Many of our mentors and support staff have overcome similar struggles and now dedicate their lives to helping others find their way forward.
A Tailored Approach to Every Individual
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all support. That’s why we:
- Build individualised plans based on NDIS goals and real needs
- Use a person-centred matching process to pair participants with the right mentor or worker
- Adapted supports as goals, circumstances, or family needs arise
The Outcome
- A young person who feels seen, capable, and connected
- A family who feels supported, relieved, and hopeful
- A future filled with possibilities, not limitations
At Ready 2 Change, we don’t just deliver hours. We deliver hope, growth, and a clear path forward, one young person at a time.
