Disability Support

About the program

The Disability Support program provides flexible care and support for young people and families with complex care needs due to disability, which may also include child protection issues.

Who we work with

MDS offers a broad range of services to children and families including residential housing, respite care, in home support, sport and recreational activities and educational programs. These services may be extended to young people for their period of transition into adulthood ie into their twenties. MDS prides itself on a history of quality service, which results in ease of mind with parents and young people. MDS recognises the uniqueness of families and each member and strives to support families through counselling, clear communication and regular parent/staff meetings and joint problem solving.
