WeSupportU is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Service Provider established in 2018, servicing Bayside and Peninsula Melbourne. From a few dedicated local health workers believing they could do the NDIS differently, WeSupportU now employs more than 40 multi-disciplinary team members. WeSupportU is dedicated to the social inclusion of young people, adults and families living with disability. At WeSupportU, we provide high impact, evidence-based interventions in a coordinated and flexible approach that values the voice of all our participants.
