Disability Support Services in Canberra

Canberra, Australia’s capital city, is renowned for its commitment to inclusivity, accessibility, and community support. At Prime 1 Care, we’re proud to contribute to Canberra’s disability support ecosystem by delivering person-centred services that empower residents to live their best lives.
Our disability support Canberra services are designed to meet the diverse needs of individuals with physical, intellectual, developmental, and psychosocial disabilities. Whether you’re seeking in-home assistance, community engagement opportunities, or help navigating your NDIS plan, our experienced local team is here to help you achieve your goals with dignity and independence.

Is Prime 1 Care NDIS Registered?

Yes. Prime 1 Care is a registered NDIS provider approved by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, delivering compliant, person-centred support throughout Canberra and the ACT. Registration means our staff are screened through the NDIS Worker Screening Database and our processes meet the NDIS Practice Standards.

Individual Support and Personal Care

Our individual disability support services focus on helping you maintain independence in daily life. Qualified support workers assist with personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, and household tasks, part of our wider assistance with daily living service. Whether you need support for a few hours a week or more regular care, our flexible services adapt to your schedule and preferences.

Community Participation and Social Engagement

Canberra offers a wealth of cultural, recreational, and social opportunities, and everyone should be able to participate fully in community life. Our team facilitates community access to local events, recreational programs and social groups throughout the ACT, from cultural venues to local sports clubs, helping you build meaningful connections and pursue your interests.

In-Home Care and Daily Living Assistance

Our in-home support helps you maintain independence while living in your own home, cooking, cleaning, shopping, personal care, and other daily activities. We take a person-centred approach, working with you to understand your preferences, routines, and goals, focusing on building skills and confidence, not just completing tasks.

Supported Accommodation

For individuals who need more intensive support, we help you navigate housing options, including supported independent living arrangements. Our support coordination team can guide you through the choices available and connect you with appropriate providers.

Transport and Mobility Assistance

Getting around Canberra shouldn’t be a barrier to living your life fully. We support participants with transport to medical appointments, social activities, and community events, whether that’s door-to-door support or assistance using public transport.

Respite Care

We recognise that family carers need breaks too. If you’re looking for planned or emergency respite, visit our dedicated Respite Care Canberra page for short-term, weekend and emergency options.
