Our Services

Support that helps everyday life move forward.

VIVO provides practical, one-to-one disability support across Bundaberg and Wide Bay, from everyday routines and personal care to community access, appointments, skill building and psychosocial support.

How VIVO Works We're not here to take over. We're here to provide the right support for the person to participate, build confidence and work toward greater independence.

The exact support is agreed around the participant's needs, goals, preferences, funding and VIVO's current capability.

Support With Purpose

A service name should never become a generic shift.

Two participants may both receive “daily living support” and need completely different things from it. VIVO starts with the person: what they want to do, where support is useful and how assistance can encourage participation rather than unnecessary dependence.

That means support can change as confidence, skills, routines and goals develop.

01
Understand

Learn the person's routines, preferences, communication, goals and relevant support information.

02
Support

Provide the agreed practical assistance at the level the person actually needs.

03
Build

Look for appropriate opportunities to build confidence, skills and independence.

04
Review

Keep support connected to the participant's goals and communicate appropriately when needs change.

Consistency matters.Practical support can work better when the person feels understood and doesn't have to start again every shift.
Psychosocial & Complex Support

Support that understands there's more happening beneath the surface.

VIVO has particular experience supporting people with psychosocial disability, mental-health related needs and more complex support situations.

Support remains practical and grounded in everyday life: maintaining routines, attending appointments, getting into the community, working toward goals and providing a consistent support relationship.

✓ Everyday routines and structure
✓ Appointments, community access and meaningful participation
✓ Goal-focused support and independence building
✓ Consistent support and appropriate communication with the wider team
Clear role: VIVO provides disability support, not clinical mental-health treatment or Specialist Behaviour Support. Complex enquiries are considered individually against the person's needs and VIVO's current capability.
Daily Living & Household Support

Everyday support that keeps you involved.

Daily living support can help make everyday life more manageable while still keeping the participant involved in decisions and activities wherever possible.

Depending on the person's goals and agreed support, VIVO can assist with household routines, meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, organisation and other ordinary daily tasks.

✓ Meal planning, preparation and cooking
✓ Shopping, errands and everyday organisation
✓ Cleaning and household routines
✓ Building routines that support greater independence
Do with, not automatically for.Where appropriate, everyday tasks become opportunities to build confidence and capability.
Respect comes first.Personal support should protect dignity, privacy, choice and the person's preferred way of doing things.
Personal Care & Daily Activities

Personal assistance delivered with dignity and respect.

Where personal care is part of the participant's agreed support and sits within VIVO's current worker capability, VIVO can assist with personal daily activities.

The level of assistance depends on the individual. Support is provided respectfully, with attention to privacy, choice, communication preferences and encouraging the person's own participation wherever appropriate.

✓ Assistance with dressing and personal routines
✓ General hygiene and personal daily activities
✓ Mealtime and routine support where appropriate
✓ Individual assessment of higher-intensity or specialised care needs before acceptance
Capability first: VIVO will not accept specialised or higher-risk personal-care tasks unless the required training, competency, information and safeguards are in place.
Community Access & Participation

Support to get out, take part and build a life that's yours.

Community access is about more than getting from one place to another. It can mean reconnecting with interests, trying something new, maintaining relationships, attending activities or becoming more confident navigating the community.

VIVO provides one-to-one support shaped around what meaningful participation looks like for the individual.

✓ Social and recreational activities
✓ Community events, hobbies and interests
✓ Shopping, appointments and everyday community activities
✓ Building confidence and independence in community settings
Participation should mean something.The goal isn't simply being out of the house, it's doing things that matter to the person.
Small skills can create bigger freedom.Independence develops through real opportunities to practise, participate and build confidence.
Life Skills & Independence

Build the skills behind greater independence.

VIVO can use ordinary everyday activities as practical opportunities to develop skills and confidence. What this looks like depends on the participant's goals and starting point.

The aim isn't independence at any cost. It's helping the person build capability in areas that matter to them while keeping the right support available.

✓ Cooking, shopping and household skills
✓ Planning routines and managing everyday tasks
✓ Building confidence using community services and facilities
✓ Practising skills connected to the participant's individual goals
Transport, Appointments & Errands

Practical support to keep everyday commitments moving.

Depending on the participant's plan, agreed service and individual circumstances, VIVO can provide support around transport and everyday community commitments.

This can include getting to appointments, shopping, activities and other agreed destinations, as well as support to participate once there.

✓ Medical and allied-health appointments
✓ Shopping and everyday errands
✓ Community, social and recreational activities
✓ Transport connected to agreed disability support
Funding: The way transport and worker travel can be claimed depends on the participant's plan, the support being delivered and applicable NDIS pricing arrangements. This is clarified before support begins.
Getting there is only part of it.Support can continue through the appointment, activity or errand where that is part of the agreed service.
Our Approach

We're not here to take over.

Good support should respond to what the person actually needs. Sometimes that means direct assistance. Sometimes it means prompting, practising together or simply being there while the participant does more for themselves.

VIVO aims to provide enough support to make progress possible without unnecessarily removing choice, participation or independence.

01Choice

The participant remains central to decisions about their everyday support.

02Participation

Where appropriate, we involve the person rather than automatically doing tasks for them.

03Capability

Everyday activities can become opportunities to practise and build useful skills.

04Consistency

Familiar support can make it easier to build trust, routines and confidence over time.

Working With The Wider Team

Direct support shouldn't operate in a bubble.

Where appropriate and with relevant consent, VIVO can work alongside the professionals already involved in a participant's supports so everyday assistance remains informed, consistent and useful.

Support Coordinators & Recovery CoachesClear communication about support, goals, changes and relevant observations.
Occupational Therapists & Allied HealthFollowing relevant recommendations within VIVO's direct-support role and capability.
Behaviour Support PractitionersWorking alongside the practitioner and relevant participant-specific strategies without claiming Specialist Behaviour Support.
Families & Informal SupportsAppropriate communication that respects the participant's preferences, consent and support arrangements.
Clear Service Boundaries

What VIVO isn't advertising right now.

Being clear about scope is part of providing safe support. These services sit outside VIVO's current unregistered direct-support offering.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

VIVO is not advertising SIL. From 1 July 2026, SIL is a mandatory-registration service under the NDIS Commission's current rules.

Specialist Behaviour Support

VIVO does not conduct Functional Behaviour Assessments or develop Behaviour Support Plans and does not advertise Specialist Behaviour Support.

Regulated Restrictive Practices

VIVO does not use regulated restrictive practices as an unregistered provider. Enquiries involving behaviour support are assessed carefully against the plan, requested support and applicable requirements.

Plan Management / SDA / NDIA-managed supports

These are not part of VIVO's current service offering. VIVO currently works with plan-managed and self-managed participants.

Starting Support

You don't need to choose the perfect service label first.

Tell us about the person, what they're trying to achieve and where support is needed. We'll work out whether the request fits VIVO's services and current capability.

01

Tell us what's needed

Share the participant's goals, support needs, location and requested hours.

02

Discuss the details

We clarify what the support involves and any relevant information or professional involvement.

03

Confirm the fit

VIVO considers capability, capacity and whether the requested support is appropriate for us to provide.

04

Meet & begin

If the fit is right, we organise introductions, service arrangements and commencement of support.

Service Questions

Not sure exactly what to ask for?

Can VIVO help with both support at home and in the community?
Potentially, yes. Depending on the participant's needs, plan and agreed service, support can include practical daily-living assistance at home as well as appointments, errands and community participation.
Does VIVO provide personal care?
VIVO can consider personal-care and personal daily-activity support where the requested tasks sit within current worker training and capability. More specialised or higher-intensity care needs are assessed individually before support is accepted.
Can VIVO work with someone who has a Behaviour Support Plan?
Potentially. It depends on the person's needs, the contents of the plan, the support being requested and applicable requirements. VIVO does not provide Specialist Behaviour Support, develop Behaviour Support Plans or use regulated restrictive practices as an unregistered provider.
Does VIVO provide SIL?
No. VIVO is not currently advertising Supported Independent Living. SIL became subject to mandatory provider registration from 1 July 2026.
Do you provide Support Coordination?
VIVO's current service focus is direct disability support rather than Support Coordination. We work alongside Support Coordinators and Psychosocial Recovery Coaches involved in a participant's support where appropriate.
What if the support we need isn't listed here?
Contact us and describe the actual support being requested. The service list is not intended to replace an individual intake. We'll give you a straightforward answer about whether the request sits within VIVO's current role, capability and capacity.
