Providing Innovative Solutions for Complex Needs

Innovative Australian Care provides specialist disability support for individuals with complex clinical and behavioural needs. As an NDIS and DVA-registered provider, high-quality services are delivered with a focus on measurable progress, independence, and long-term wellbeing. A 24-hour support hotline ensures continuity of care, while expert staff create tailored plans to meet participant goals. Registered under NDIS, DVA, and SSRC, the organisation prioritises flexibility, person-centred care, and evidence-based approaches.

Complex Hospital Transition

Moving from hospital care to home requires careful planning and support. A seamless transition is achieved with assistance in transport, medication management, personal care, and recovery-based support. Working alongside healthcare providers ensures continuity of care, reducing hospital readmission risks. Restoring confidence and independence remains the focus, ensuring a safe and structured return to daily life.

Complex Behavioural Supports

Challenging behaviours require a structured, compassionate approach. Strategies are developed with participants, families, and support networks to promote emotional regulation, skill development, and engagement. A focus on safety, wellbeing, and independence enables individuals to thrive. Evidence-based interventions provide stability and guidance, fostering a greater sense of self-confidence and security.

Community Nursing

Innovative Australian Care specialises in supporting individuals with complex clinical and behavioural needs. As an NDIS and DVA-registered provider, we offer 24/7 crisis response, hospital transition services, and trauma-informed care. Our data-driven approach ensures measurable progress and high-quality care tailored to each participant’s individual needs and goals.

STA, MTA, SDA Accommodation

Safe and fully supported accommodation options promote stability, inclusion, and independence. Whether for short-term respite (STA), transitional housing (MTA), or Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), tailored care ensures each participant receives the right level of support. Housing solutions prioritise comfort and accessibility, fostering a welcoming environment where daily routines and personal goals can be maintained.

Transport, Post-Hospital & Community Access

Reliable transport services ensure safe travel to medical appointments, community events, and post-hospital care. Personalised transport solutions cater to mobility needs while prioritising punctuality, comfort, and accessibility. Travel becomes stress-free, allowing participants to focus on their recovery and social connections. Supportive assistance enables greater community engagement and independence.

In-Home Care

Maintaining independence and comfort at home becomes easier with dedicated in-home support. Assistance is available for personal care, mobility, medication management, meal preparation, and household tasks. A safe and well-maintained environment promotes dignity and autonomy. Personalised care plans ensure tailored support, allowing participants to achieve their goals while feeling safe and empowered. A compassionate approach prioritises individual preferences, making daily living stress-free.

Personal Assistance

Managing daily routines becomes effortless with dedicated one-on-one support. Assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, mobility, and household tasks ensures participants maintain independence with ease. A person-centred approach fosters dignity, safety, and autonomy while creating a well-supported living environment. Support is customised to fit individual needs, providing security and peace of mind for both participants and their families.

Palliative Care

We provide compassionate, holistic palliative care designed to support individuals with complex health conditions. Our focus is on comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being, ensuring that each person’s values and wishes are respected. This stage of care goes beyond medical treatment, it embraces empathy, calm, and deep personal connection for both participants and their families.

Community Access

Engaging with the community builds confidence, independence, and social connections. Support is available for attending social events, visiting attractions, joining groups, or participating in recreational and educational programs. Meaningful relationships enhance emotional wellbeing and personal development. Encouraging participation in community activities reduces isolation while promoting inclusion, creating a strong sense of belonging. Every experience is designed to support personal growth and connection.

Meal Preparation

Nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs and preferences contribute to long-term health and wellbeing. Support with meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking ensures participants enjoy fresh, balanced meals without added stress. Preparing meals at home fosters independence while promoting a healthier lifestyle. A culturally sensitive approach ensures familiar, enjoyable meals suited to individual tastes.
