What we can support with

Three focused ongoing services, available now.

Availability covers our three ongoing support-worker services. Short Term Respite is separate, planned support, so check the respite details and contact us to confirm the funded scope, timing and local availability.

01

Daily Personal Activities

Everyday personal care and daily-living support (not high-intensity or clinical supports), always at the participant's pace and with dignity.

What to look for

Finding the right NDIS support worker in Brisbane.

Not every support worker is the right fit for every participant. Consistency, shared communication style, and the right practical skills for your goals all matter more than proximity alone. Here is what families and participants tell us they look for, and how Horizons approaches the match. Planning support around weekends or school holidays? Read our guides to making the most of weekend support-worker sessions and managing school holiday support-worker schedules before we confirm the days, times and worker fit.

01

Consistency matters most

A rotating cast of strangers is not support, it is a management problem. Look for a provider who can name your worker before support starts and who keeps the same person coming each week, unless something changes.

02

Skills matched to your goals

If your NDIS goals include cooking, transport, or getting out in the community, ask whether the worker has direct experience in those areas, not just a general disability support qualification.

03

Honest communication from the start

A provider who tells you honestly what they can and cannot offer, including wait times, suburbs covered, and what support types they do not provide, is far more useful than one who overpromises.

Common questions

Questions from participants and families.

What should I look for in an NDIS support worker in Brisbane?

Look for consistency, compatibility, and the right skills for your goals. A good support worker shows up reliably to the same sessions each week, communicates clearly, and understands your disability without making you feel defined by it. Practical skills matter too: if your goals include cooking, transport or community access, ask whether the worker has experience in those areas. Values alignment, patience and a genuine interest in your progress are harder to measure but equally important.

How does Horizons match participants with support workers in Brisbane?

We look at three things: your suburb and travel requirements, the days and times support would help most, and your specific goals and what kind of person you work best with. We do not assign workers from a generic roster. We have a conversation first, understand what matters, and then suggest who we think is the right fit. You will always know the name of your worker before support starts.

Can I use Horizons if my NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed?

Yes. Horizons Support Network is a non-registered NDIS provider, which means we support self-managed and plan-managed participants across Brisbane. We do not support NDIA-managed participants. If you are unsure how your plan is managed, your plan manager or LAC can confirm this.

What NDIS support can Horizons provide in Brisbane?

Horizons provides three ongoing support-worker services: daily personal activities (personal care and morning or evening routines), independent living skills (cooking, household management, transport confidence and life skills), and social and community participation (getting out, building connections and accessing community activities across Brisbane). We also provide Short Term Respite (formerly Short Term Accommodation) as separate, planned support. We do not provide support coordination, therapy, SIL or high-intensity clinical supports.

How do I check whether Horizons has support workers available near me in Brisbane?

The quickest way is to get in touch with your suburb, the support you are funded for and the days that matter. A real person from our Brisbane team will reply within one business day with honest information about whether we have a suitable worker available near you. Availability changes regularly, so a direct conversation is the most accurate check.

How long does it take to start support once I get in touch?

It depends on what we have available near you and how quickly paperwork can be confirmed. For most participants, the first step is a short conversation to check fit, followed by a service agreement. Some participants start within a week or two; others take a little longer depending on scheduling and the specific support required. We give honest timelines from the first conversation, so you are not left guessing.

How we check availability

We match around you, not the other way round.

To see what we can offer for a specific person or suburb, we look at three simple things.

01

Your suburb

We support people right across Brisbane and work to a sensible travel radius, so a worker can get to you reliably, week in, week out.

02

Your days and times

Mornings, afternoons, evenings or weekends: tell us when support would help most and we will match it to who is available.

03

Your goals and fit

We match on personality and skills, not just a roster gap, so you get a consistent person who genuinely suits you.

What happens next

Checking availability is simple.

One quick chat is all it takes to find out whether we can help, and to start matching the right person to you.
