What We Offer
Services that work around your life.
Social and community support isn't one-size-fits-all. We work alongside you to do the things that matter to you — whether that's a coffee with a mate, joining a local club, getting to appointments, or simply getting out of the house more often.
Types of activities we support
Don't see your activity? If it's meaningful to you, we'll make it work. Get in touch and we'll discuss your specific goals.
What your support worker provides
Person-centred support
Your support is built around your goals, preferences, and NDIS plan — not a generic schedule.
Safe, reliable attendance
We show up when rostered. Consistent workers mean you build rapport and trust over time.
Skill-building alongside support
Where your goals include building independence, we focus on skill development — not just task completion.
Transport included
Where transport is needed, we can use our wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) or standard vehicle — depending on your requirements. See below.
Outcome reporting
Progress notes and shift reports keep your support team, Support Coordinator, and plan manager informed.
Real outings. Real people. Real lives.
This is what social support looks like.
From fishing trips and farm visits to live concerts and dining out — our participants get out, connect, and live their lives.
Need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle? We've got that.
If you use a wheelchair or require wheelchair-accessible transport, our Everyday Access service means you don't need to coordinate a separate provider. A Yellowbird support worker drives our Toyota HiAce WAV — fitted with a rear electric platform lift — and delivers your support, so transport and support are provided together by our team. The bus is only available with a Yellowbird support worker; we do not offer dry hire or vehicle-only bookings.
Seating configuration
See the FAQ section below for detailed information on bookings, vehicle use, travel billing, and more.

WAV vs Standard vehicle — which is right for you?
Everyday Access — WAV
For participants who use a powered or manual wheelchair. A Yellowbird support worker drives our Toyota HiAce with platform lift and delivers your support. The bus is not available for dry hire.
Standard vehicle
For participants who don't need wheelchair-accessible transport. A Yellowbird support worker uses a standard vehicle for community access. Same great support — different vehicle.
Not sure which you need?
We'll discuss your requirements at intake and recommend the right option. You can also ask your OT or Support Coordinator.

NDIS Funding for Social & Community Support
Social and community participation supports are typically funded under Core Supports — Social, Economic & Community Participation (04), or Core Supports — Daily Activities (01) depending on the nature of the support. Transport is claimed as non-labour travel from the relevant Core budget, or from your NDIS Transport budget. Speak with your Support Coordinator or planner to confirm the right line items for your plan.
