Disability Talk

Disability Talk is an award-winning, locally rooted disability and aged care provider based in Melbourne, Victoria. With over 20 years of experience in the disability and aged care sector, we're a registered NDIS, and DVA provider offering integrated allied health services. We're a dedicated private business committed to delivering exceptional, person-centred support across Western and Northern Melbourne.


Our Services
We provide a comprehensive one-stop solution for people with disabilities, veterans, and elderly clients:

• Support Coordination – Goal-driven, participant-centred coordination that builds trust and empowers independence. We work collaboratively with participants to understand their needs, plan their support, and navigate the NDIS or DVA systems seamlessly.

• Support Workers & In-Home Care – Personalised in-home support tailored to individual needs, from personal care and community participation to respite and live-in care. Our experienced team specialises in supporting complex needs, acquired injuries, and mental health conditions.

• Allied Health Services – Integrated therapy and wellness support to complement care and maximise independence.

• Community Participation – We help participants engage with their community through group outings, social events, and meaningful activities—from Australian Open tickets to Game Days and monthly community lunches.

• Specialised Support – We excel at supporting complex cases, including mental health disabilities, behavioural challenges, and participants with multiple support needs. Our team collaborates with occupational therapists, behavioural practitioners, and social workers.

• Additional Services – NILS financial assistance, VR relaxation therapy, psychosocial coaching, and free 15-minute consultations to explore how we can help.
