Our Approach
At Empress Support Services, we assist individuals with disabilities in developing versatile skill sets. This includes different aspects such as communication and social skills. These are essential for building deeper connections and engaging with the community. We understand that navigating social outings in public involves numerous unspoken guidelines. Therefore, our support staff seeks to empower NDIS participants by organising real events in a secure and supportive setting. This approach aims to provide practical experiences that enhance their skills and knowledge. We focus on facilitating the growth and prosperity of the individuals we support within their homes and communities.
As a registered NDIS provider, our commitment is rooted in the belief that everyone matters. This is why we embrace an individualised approach, placing our clients at the core of all our efforts. In this personalised approach, participants take a leading role in designing their support framework. That way, our team makes sure that every service is customised to suit individual requirements. By prioritising your input in decision-making, we aim to provide support that aligns with your preferred way of living life.

We maintain transparency in communication and provide the right information to participants and their families.
