Specialist & complex support · Perth & Western Australia

When things are complicated, you need someone steady


Social-work-led support for the situations other providers find too hard — psychosocial disability, justice involvement, housing instability and dual diagnosis — across Perth and Western Australia.

Where we specialise

The situations we're built for


Psychosocial disability & mental health

Support that's steady through the ups and downs — workers who understand mental health, don't flinch on the hard days, and know when to encourage and when to simply be there.

Complex support · Psychosocial

Justice & corrections involvement

For people moving between the NDIS, courts, custody and community. We keep supports continuous through transitions that usually break them, and coordinate with justice services so nothing falls through the gap.

Housing instability & hospital discharge

When housing, health and disability collide, supports often fall apart at exactly the wrong moment. We hold the threads together — discharge planning, temporary arrangements, and the long road to stable housing.

Our approach

Complexity handled calmly


Social-work-led from day one

Complex situations are overseen by an MSW-qualified social worker, so risk, dignity and choice are balanced by someone trained to do exactly that.

No judgement, no surprises

Past systems involvement, criminal history or a complicated file won't get you turned away. We'd rather hear the hard truths upfront.

One person holds the picture

Instead of five services each knowing one piece, one consistent coordinator knows the whole story — and you stop repeating it.

Built for the long haul

Complex situations don't resolve in a quarter. We plan for continuity — same faces, same plan, steady progress you can actually measure.

Common questions

Before you get in touch


Who is 'complex' support for?

Anyone whose situation involves more than just disability — mental health, justice involvement, housing instability, hospital admissions, or services that keep breaking down. If other providers have said it's too hard, that's usually where we start.

Do you work with people leaving custody or hospital?

Yes. Transitions are where supports most often collapse, so we put real effort into continuity — starting coordination before discharge or release, not after things have already gone wrong.

Which areas do you cover?

Coordination and case-level work is delivered by phone, email and video across all of Western Australia. In-person specialist supports are currently Perth-based and expanding.

How is this funded?

Usually through the support coordination budget in an NDIS plan — often at the specialist (Level 3) line for complex situations. We work with plan-managed and self-managed participants and confirm all rates in writing before starting.
