DISABILITY SERVICES DIRECTORATE

About Us

Disability Services Directorate is an integral part of Royal Rehabilitation Centre.

It is an accredited, pre-qualified service provider in supported accommodation with NSW Department of Family and Community Services - Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC), and as an Attendant Care service provider with Lifetime Care and Support Authority.

We provide long term accommodation and support services to people with acquired disabilities (brain injury, spinal injury), developmental disabilities (intellectual, autistic spectrum disorder), and other degenerative neurological disabilities. We also specialise in supporting people who have extensive additional needs in the areas of complex health care requirements, co-existing psychiatric disability or significant behaviours of concern.

Support is incorporated into each person’s life activities – personal, home, family & relationships and community participation. Services draw upon the extensive resources of an organisation dedicated to supporting clients to develop independence and express their individuality.

We are accredited with the Attendant Care Industry Management System Standard Association and with the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards.

As a teaching organisation we also engage in extensive education and research to improve the rehabilitation outcomes for our clients.

A range of supported accommodation options are available, ranging from residential units, group homes and independent living units, located in and around the Sydney area.

Funding, charges & rent

For supported accommodation, clients will be required to pay a percentage for rent and living expenses and a service fee. We currently receive funding principally from NSW Health, NSW Department of Human Services: Ageing Disability and Home Care; Lifetime Care and Support Authority, and other sources such as insurers to provide services and programs.
