Gaining Learners Permit

We take pride in assisting clients with obtaining their learner’s permit, a significant milestone towards independence. Our mentors provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from understanding road rules to preparing for the written test. With proven success, we have already helped multiple clients achieve this important goal. Through personalised coaching, practice sessions, and confidence-building strategies, we ensure that our clients are well prepared and feel confident in their abilities. By helping them reach this milestone, we empower them to take control of their mobility and open up new opportunities for independence and self-reliance.

Budgeting And Money Management

At Support & Connect, we understand the importance of financial independence and offer dedicated support in budgeting and money management. Our mentors work closely with clients to create personalised budgets that align with their income and expenses, helping them manage their money more effectively. A significant goal for many of our clients is to gain independence from the public trustee managing their finances. We provide the tools, guidance, and confidence needed to achieve this, empowering clients to take control of their financial future. With our support, clients can develop essential money management skills, fostering greater independence and financial stability.

Our Client Success Stories

NDIS Mentors Riverland
One of our valued clients Bill, had a background in radio. He had conducted interviews and edited sound tracks with over 20 years experience. Bill had a goal to start his own Podcast leaning on his previous experience. We thought that was a fantastic idea and were keen to assist in his journey.
 
Bill now has a fortnightly podcast called bill’s Banter and is starting to develop quite a catalogue of episodes. You can find his latest episodes HERE and show him some support. 
 
Incredible work Bill. We are all super proud of you and exited to see what bill’s Banter has in store for the future. 
 

Another valued client, Kain was previously with another support provider. The Disability Support Worker they provided was not relatable to him at all and as a result he was very closed and shut off. Support & Connect paired him up with a Mentor he could relate with and as a result were able to work on the goals most important to him. 

 

One of these goals was to join a gym and implementing a workout routine to gain strength and increase his confidence. We were more than happy to assist with this one and have seen a huge improvement coming out of his shell in a big way.

 

We know Kain has some huge goals for the future and we can’t wait to see what he achieves. Awesome work!

Our client Callum, came to us from out of town and had been trying to find a rental for a number of months. This was starting to become distressing for him and his coordinator reached out to see if we could lend a hand. Within a short period we were able to help Callum secure a rental that met his needs. 

Callum and his girlfriend have since welcomed a new baby into the world and is extremely pleased to have a safe and secure home to raise their growing family. 

Congratulations guys and we look forward to assisting you hit your goals in the near future.

Andrew had a burning desire for more independence and freedom. His goal was to gain his learners permit and we were more than happy to help assist Andrew through the process. 

 

Great news, through some keen mentorship from our team, and determination from Andrew, he has successfully gained his learners permit and is on his way to gaining the independence he desires. All that’s left to do is start shopping for a car. 

 

Fantastic work Andrew, the whole team is wrapped for you and look forward to seeing you driving around town soon.
