Our NDIS Resources
Organisations You May Find Helpful
At Tailored Support Services on the Sunshine Coast, we provide comprehensive NDIS plan management along with an array of other services to help our clients live fulfilling lives. But we also realise that it takes more than a single provider to fulfil all the needs of NDIS participants. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of other resources we think will help.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide more than $22 billion in funding a year to an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.
Autism Awareness Australia
Our goal is simple: To improve the lives of all Australians on the autism spectrum and the families who love them.
We empower parents and carers with quality information and resources. We provide targeted educational programs to families, professionals and the broader community.
We support inclusion for people on the autism spectrum… and we have some fun along the way too.
We know that families are the best advocates for their children and we are here to ensure they have access to the best quality information and supports to help them along the way.
Kids Helpline
Kids Helpline is Australia’s only free, confidential 24/7 online and phone counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25 years. Qualified counsellors at Kids Helpline are available via WebChat, phone or email anytime and for any reason.
For some young people, connecting with Kids Helpline has been a life saving experience, while for others it’s about practical help and emotional support at the critical moment they need someone to listen.
Parentline
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Sometimes you need guidance. You can talk to our qualified counsellors about anything to do with those challenges you’re facing as a parent or those issues affecting your family. Whether it’s strategies for challenging behaviour, your relationship with your children, co-parenting guidance or mental health help—we’re here for you.

endED
Giving a name to an illness doesn’t mean the cause of the illness is understood. endED gives an authentic voice to living with a biopsychosocial illness and treating the person not the diagnosis.
endED now provides support to local, interstate and international families and sufferers and is working with nationally and world recognised organisations to create awareness and foster attitudes of hope around eating disorders.
The Board Meeting
The Board Meeting was started by a group of surfers looking to help Sunshine Coast kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events. Run completely by a dedicated group of volunteers and supported by the local business and surfing communities, the charity raises much needed funds for families who have fallen through the cracks of government support, are doing it extremely tough financially and have children with needs those of us with healthy kids could hardly fathom.
EVERY DOLLAR WE MAKE GOES TO THE KIDS.
