Our team of dedicated disability support workers and NDIS support coordinators are committed to providing exceptional care and support, ensuring that every individual we serve can lead a fulfilling and independent life.
New Growth was born out of a desire to transform the disability support sector. We saw the need for a more personal, human-centric approach to NDIS support workers, and we’ve been passionately pursuing that vision ever since. The NDIS support workers we partner with don’t just offer services, they build lasting relationships, offering a level of understanding and empathy that goes beyond the norm.
We specialise in a range of support services, from daily assistance and personal care to comprehensive support coordination. Whether you’re looking for a disability support worker to help with day-to-day tasks or for skill development and training, New Growth is by your side every step of the way.

NDIS-funded respite provides essential breaks for families and carers through Short Term Accommodation (STA), but eligibility depends on your plan, accommodation choices require careful consideration, and understanding the rules helps avoid funding issues.
NDIS participants can access various employment funding options including standard employment supports, Disability Employment Services, and specialist coordination, though finding effective providers and accommodating employers often requires careful research and advocacy.
The NDIS can fund vehicle modifications that are necessary for driving or travelling safely due to your disability, but won't pay for the vehicle itself. You'll need an occupational therapist assessment and must meet specific criteria around vehicle age and modification necessity.
The NDIS funds a wide range of assistive technology items including mobility aids, communication devices, home modifications, and daily living equipment, with approval based on individual assessments by allied health professionals rather than a standard list.
NDIS plans contain both flexible funding categories that allow cross-category spending and stated supports with specific restrictions, but unclear NDIA guidance creates confusion for participants and support coordinators about what's actually allowed.
NDIS consumables are everyday items that help manage your disability needs, from continence products to cooling bedding, but claiming them requires proper documentation and understanding of stricter approval criteria since late 2023.
The NDIS can fund home modifications to improve safety and independence, ranging from minor changes under $10,000 to complex structural alterations, with approval depending on proper assessment documentation and following specific NDIA processes.
NDIS transport funding can be optimised through choosing between direct payments or in-plan reimbursement, understanding provider travel charges, and advocating for appropriate funding levels based on your transport needs.
While some Support Workers have training in certain health-related tasks, their primary role is not medical care. For specific medical needs, a qualified nurse or healthcare professional is recommended.
Nurses are healthcare professionals focused on medical care and treatments, whereas Support Workers focus on daily living support, social engagement, and helping clients achieve their personal goals.
Yes, many Support Workers can provide transportation to appointments, community events, or other activities as part of their service.
A good Support Worker should be compassionate, patient, reliable, and have a good understanding of your specific needs. Effective communication and a genuine desire to assist are also key qualities of New Growth Support Workers and Coordinators.
