Our Story

My Supports was founded in 2015 by people with a disability and families.

The founders – Jim Cairns, Rex Baker and Terry Mader – saw the NDIS as an opportunity for people with a disability to play a greater role in designing and delivering services. They believe this will lead to better, more innovative services, due to the experiences and insights people with the lived experience can bring.

What sets us apart?

The My Supports Difference

  • Our home is in our local community​

    We’re your neighbours or soon will be. ​Deeply connected, engaged, and committed to our community, making a local impact each and every day.​
  • We walk in your shoes and roll in your tracks

    We can understand what you’re going through because we’ve lived through it too. We bring lived experience from our own experience as NDIS users.
  • We continually seek better options for housing & care

    Thinking outside of the box, we challenge norms to find better options for housing, care and increased independence.
  • Safety and reliability, when it matters most

    We do what’s right. Even when it’s not easy. Especially when it’s hard.
WHEN LIFE DEMANDS MORE

The right support changes everything.

We were tired, and we were worn out... But we had to keep going because we were the only ones they had.
They've always fallen through the cracks... but once we connected with My Supports, they helped us get the answers that we needed.
They needed someone 24/7 and it became too much for just me. He had to give up his business, and so we gave up businesses and whatever, you know, to be able to continue to care for them.
The Individual Living Option (ILO) model made everything manageable. It gave us the support we needed to keep going.
She's been struggling a lot this last 12 months with her energy and pain... I had to accept responsibility for everything that happens here.
My Supports found a place that fits all of her mobility needs. Now we can finally settle down.
