What support can look like

We focus on routines, connection and independence, with the same faces wherever we can, because trust takes time.

Working with your clinical team

We are not a mental health treatment service. We work alongside the people who are, such as your GP, psychiatrist, psychologist or community mental health team, and follow any plans or strategies you have agreed with them.

We talk with you about what a good day and a hard day look like, and how you want us to respond, so support fits around you.

Good to know

The NDIS can fund supports for psychosocial disability when the impairment is likely to be permanent, even if symptoms come and go. Treatment and clinical care are funded by the health system, not the NDIS.

iCare4U provides practical in-home and community support. We do not diagnose conditions or provide medical treatment. The supports we can offer depend on your goals, your plan and funding, your service agreement and worker availability, and we’ll be honest with you about whether we’re the right fit.

Need help now? We are not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000. For 24-hour crisis support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
