Does this work for you?

When considering supports it’s important to ask yourself if these supports are in included in your plan.

• Do you need the support because of your disability?

• Is the support likely to meet your needs?

• Is the cost of the support reasonable?

• Can you afford the support within your support budget?

• Is the support something that should be funded by the NDIS and not other government services?

• Is the support safe?

• Is the support legal?

The making of Far and Wide

Far and Wide Support Services aims to be a boutique disability provider, specialising in value for money, adventure through experience and one on one support and focus. Operating within the industry for 4 years we have grown to offer an array of support services throughout the Moreton Bay and Fraser Coast.

Our director Lucy has a long standing history in the disability sector having lived her own struggles with hearing loss and navigating assistive aids, through to working as a support worker in an institutionalised setting. She was tired of hearing the word ‘no’ and endeavoured to ask the question of ‘why not?’. This was the catalyst in the formation of Far and Wide’s adventure style respites with the main question being ‘Where do you want to go and how can we make it happen?’.

Far and Wide has continually developed as we have grown both in staff and client numbers. Our original ‘low to no’ policy of paperwork was soon scrapped and a transition process for both our staff and clients occurred begrudgingly. As we have grown our focus on our clients has been unwavering in our determination to be present in enabling our clients decisions to become reality.

We aim to be the one you go to for the time of your life, we are Far and Wide.

STA and Far and Wide.

We often are faced with the barrier of ‘I could never afford that!’ - We’re here to tell you that it’s not as far fetched as it seems.

How can you access our services?

Easy! Send us an email at admin@farandwidess.com or enquire with your support coordinator.

We sit down with you to discuss your support needs, hopes and dreams and what you expect of us.

From here we craft three(3) specially tailored respite (STA) options made just for you from the information we have gathered in our meeting.

All of our respite plans consider an individuals goals and accessibility requirements.

These options are then presented to you to peruse and decide if they suit your ideal STA - But what if they don’t? We are a client focused provider that pride ourselves on client choice. If the options don’t work, we change them!

Cost?

Dependant on your funding package, we tailor a respite to suit your budget and wishes. Out of pocket expenses are negotiated case by case (We include negotiated experiences and you never pay out of pocket for our carers).

Minimum time frame to book?

Dependant on availability, we endeavour to work with all of our clients to ensure they access a respite in their desired time frame.
