Assist Gippsland

Founded in mid-2019, Assist Gippsland was born from a deep understanding of the unmet needs in our rural communities — and a strong determination to change that. As the world faced new challenges in 2020, our team stepped up to meet the moment. What began as a small, personalised support service quickly grew out of necessity, driven by our commitment to provide high-quality, participant-centred care across the Wellington Shire.

Since then, we've continued to grow — not just in size, but in strength, purpose, and community connection. Today, we are proud to be recognised as a trusted, reliable, and inclusive provider of NDIS services in our region. We’re not here for the short term — we’re committed to being a long-standing pillar of support in Gippsland for years to come.

Our team has a genuine passion for the people and places we serve. We work hand-in-hand with participants to tailor supports that reflect individual goals and aspirations — whether that’s help organising daily life, building confidence, or re-engaging with the community. We believe in supporting the whole person, and in the power of feeling welcomed, included, and empowered.

To further foster social connection and inclusion, we've developed a vibrant day program, running six days a week. These group sessions are designed to build skills, confidence, friendships, and stronger ties to the community — because everyone deserves to feel they belong.
