Independent Disability Services (IDS) provides personalised disability support services in Dandenong, Noble Park, Keysborough, Springvale and surrounding South-Eastern Melbourne communities. Support is delivered in your home and in the community, with services tailored around your needs, goals, routines and preferences.
IDS provides three core services NDIS Support Services Melbourne: Domestic Support, Personal Support and Community Access. You can use one service or combine supports where appropriate. IDS uses a small, consistent group of disability support workers rather than treating each shift in isolation. Workers are matched with consideration for your needs, preferences and location, with additional support from the wider IDS service team. IDS is a Melbourne not-for-profit organisation established in 1986 and a registered provider with NDIS, TAC and WorkSafe.

Dandenong and the wider City of Greater Dandenong represent one of Melbourne's most vibrant, culturally diverse and well-connected regional hubs in the south-east. From the energetic commercial heart around Lonsdale Street and Dandenong Market to leafy residential neighbourhoods across Noble Park, Keysborough, Springvale, Dandenong North, and Lyndhurst, our qualified disability support workers travel directly to clients' private residences.
Independent Disability Services delivers personalised in-home assistance and community participation directly to participants' doorsteps across Greater Dandenong. Rather than requiring clients to commute to a clinical day centre or fixed hub, our mobile disability support workers provide one-to-one assistance that aligns with your daily routine, whether that involves preparing lunch at home, shopping at Dandenong Plaza or the market, walking through Dandenong Park along the creek trail, or attending warm water therapy at the Dandenong Oasis aquatic centre.
Our client-centred approach ensures that your support is consistent, respectful, and directed by you. With strong connections across south-eastern Melbourne, IDS supports participants throughout Dandenong and surrounding neighbourhoods to live safe, self-determined lives in the comfort of their homes and communities.
