Social and Community Access is available across metro Melbourne and regional Victoria, including Ararat, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, and Wangaratta.

 

Support is shaped around what you enjoy and what feels meaningful to you, whether that’s heading out for weekly shopping, meeting someone for a coffee, attending a performance, or spending time with family and friends.

 

We’re there to help make getting out and about feel easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.

    As a registered provider, we deliver support that is safe, transparent, and aligned with your NDIS plan.

  • All VMCH support workers hold a Certificate IV in Disability Services, with additional nursing-qualified staff within our team where required.

    You’re supported by people who are trained, capable, and committed to doing their job well.

  • We don’t outsource support to agencies. Every support worker is employed, trained, and supported directly by VMCH, which means greater consistency, better communication, and a higher standard of care you can rely on.
  • Where possible, we match support workers to your interests, preferences, and goals. This helps build trust, comfort, and genuine connection, so support feels more natural and less transactional.

    This is also where our person-centred approach comes to life. Support is shaped around you, your goals, and your NDIS plan, with flexibility to change as your needs evolve.
  • We prioritise long-term relationships over rotating staff. Being supported by familiar faces means less explaining, more understanding, and support that grows with you over time.
