Focus Disability Support Services

NDIS registeredFriendlyFlexible support

NDIS support in Sydney’s inner west, from a team who genuinely care.

You set the goals — we help you get there. Personal care, SIL, support coordination, day programs and community access across Canterbury‑Bankstown, run from our own group centre in Lakemba.

No obligation and no paperwork on the first call. If we’re not the right fit for your plan, we’ll say so and point you somewhere that is.

Where families start

Day program at our own group centre

A structured day with people you know: cooking in our kitchen, art, music, life skills and getting out into the community. It runs from a centre we own and staff ourselves — so you can walk in, meet the crew and watch a session before you commit to anything.

  1. Supported Independent LivingSIL

    Living arrangements built around what a person can already do, with support filling only the gaps.

  2. Support coordination

    We help you choose providers, write service agreements and get the funding in your plan doing what it was actually meant to do.

  3. Personal care & home care

    Showering, dressing, hygiene and the daily routine — done with dignity, by the same person each week.

  4. Community participation & transport

    Swimming, fishing, the footy field, the library, a coffee out. We drive, and we stay for the day.

  5. Short-term accommodation & respite

    Time away from home — a genuine break for carers and a change of scene for participants.

How we work

Every provider says they care.
Ours spells it out.

“We Genuinely Care.” isn’t a line we picked because it sounded good. It’s five values, written down, so you can hold us to them.

Compassionate

Unwavering dedication to helping every person reach their own goals, with support and guidance rather than instruction.

Accountable

We stand by our participants at every step. If we say a worker is coming at nine, a worker comes at nine.

Respectful

Every person, regardless of ability, culture or background, is treated with dignity and professionalism.

Encouraging

We help participants set goals that are genuinely achievable — and then we help them get there.

Dedicated

We go beyond the plan when it matters. Every time, not just on the good weeks.

Out in the community

Not a service roster. A week worth having.

Why we exist

We started this because it was our family too.

Focus was founded by people who had already lived it — disability inside their own family and among close friends, and the long, wearing experience of trying to find support that stayed. That’s why the whole thing is built on empathy, trust and security rather than a service catalogue.

It also means we’re not a call centre. Our Operations Manager is a qualified pharmacist with more than ten years in mental health, including working with people living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. When something complex comes up in a plan, that experience is already in the room.

We’re a small provider and we intend to stay one. It’s the only way a support worker can genuinely know the person they’re turning up for.

“You set the goals. We help you get there.”

Getting started

Three steps, and none of them are paperwork.

  1. Call us, or leave your number

    One phone call to 0432 354 685. We'll ask what's happening now and what you need — no forms, no plan documents, nothing to prepare.

  2. Meet us at the centre

    Come to our Lakemba office or the Belfield group centre, meet the people who'd actually be supporting you, and see the place with your own eyes.

  3. Start small, then build

    We start with the supports you need most and add from there. You keep choice and control over who comes, when, and what they do.

The questions families ask us first.

What does it cost?

Our supports are charged at the rates set out in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits — the same published rates every registered provider works to. We will walk you through exactly which line items your supports draw from before anything starts.

Do I need an approved NDIS plan already?

No. If you have not applied yet, call us anyway — we will talk you through eligibility and the access request process, and point you to the right forms. If you already have a plan, bring it and we will read it with you.

What if we have already had a bad experience with a provider?

A lot of the families who come to us have. Tell us what went wrong. Usually it comes down to workers who did not turn up or who changed every fortnight, and that is exactly the thing a small local team is built to fix.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across Sydney's inner west and south-west — Lakemba, Belfield and the surrounding Canterbury-Bankstown suburbs. If you are just outside that, call and ask; we would rather tell you honestly than stretch too thin.

Talk to a person

Start with a phone call.

The fastest way to find out whether we’re right for you is twenty minutes on the phone with someone who actually does the work.
