Songbird offers trusted NDIS supports for people with disabilities across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter.
As the 2016 Disability Support Service of the Year, Songbird are motivated to put a modern touch on disability care in NSW, Australia. It is our goal to encourage the freedom, independence and fulfilment of each and every one of our participants. To truly have an enriching effect, we combine reliable and realistic methods with a focus on long-term benefits.
Our passionate team of support staff and carers will support you in every step of the way on your journey to independence. Through meaningful connections and tailored assistance, we will work towards enhancing your everyday skills and strengthening your self-confidence so that you can live autonomously and thrive within your community.
We continuously strive for all-embracing equality and respect so that people living with a disability are given the inclusion and opportunities they deserve. No matter your ability, we welcome you to our Songbird family.
We are proud to be progressive and pave the way in disability care with innovative and positive thinking (Check out our Drums Alive day program!). As an active campaigner for the NDIS and all that it offers, Songbird was one of the first disability support services to transition to the new scheme. We are always looking to improve and enhance our support even further, with a ceaseless commitment to raising the disability care standards in Australia. With Songbird, your care is in the best of hands.
Trust is at the heart of everything we do. Our supported independent living specialists offer a safe and honest service that adapts to your unique needs. With authentic advice and reliable, responsive support, you can make confident decisions when confronted with complicated choices. We promise to treat you with total respect, understanding and expertise so that you receive the right care, 365 days a year.
Songbird is a purpose-driven organisation, and our goal is your fulfilment. We are dedicated to helping you achieve your personal goals and lead an independent life in the face of daily challenges. To do this, we assist your day-to-day functioning, build on your capacities and encourage you to stand at the centre of all decision-making. With our support, it’s your choice.
The inspiration for Songbird rose from connections with the families of those living with developmental disorders and intellectual difficulties. So, it’s no wonder we go beyond the provision of support services for people with disabilities, taking the time to understand, appreciate and work closely with the loved ones who surround them.
In April 2015, we opened our first three homes, supporting nine NDIS participants. We quickly established ourselves as an industry leader, recognised as the 2016 Disability Service of the Year.
Today, Songbird is instrumental in providing safe and secure accommodation to dozens of individuals across many group homes in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter. In addition, we deliver an expanding number of services to assist people with disabilities to become an integral part of their communities.
With the unwavering dedication of our staff, partners and supporters, Songbird will continue providing support to empower the people we serve to go beyond limitations.
We don’t settle when it comes to our employees, and it shows! Songbird’s success is made possible by the unwavering commitment, enthusiasm and expertise of each and every one of our staff members. Learn more about our wonderful team below.
