Wazka Support Services: A Family founded, Support Services Provider supporting Victorian people living with a Disability or Mental Illness. We pride ourselves on providing the best support possible.

After being in the field for over 10 years I had hit a professional brick wall, I have held positions in large organizations for the duration of my career always striving to provide the best possible support to people living with a disability and/or mental health illness. I continuously represented these organizations attempting to fill a void I honestly never found the skill to do. Not because I didn’t love what I was doing but because I was always faced with the disappointment of having to fit in the box of the old framework. When I heard about NDIS and the great things it was doing for people individually, I knew that I wanted to be a part of the nationwide change it will create. Wazka Support Services is my platform for developing a group of people that hold the same values and same morals I hold when providing support to individuals. It has been a life-changing experience being part of this change. I provide my staff with the means to provide quality support to others. Wazka, is not an organization offering employment, it is a home to a family of people providing change, change to vulnerable people who need support to live an ordinary life. We want people living with a disability or a mental illness to strive to be the best possible “them” they can be.

When asked what supports we provide we challenge the individual with the question of “What supports do you need?”, this is how we are different. There is no box to fit in, we adapt to your needs, this is the change that NDIS is supporting and so are we.

We run skill-building & social group activities, person-centered supports, and respite developed around your individual needs. It’s your life, your choice, and you are in control.

We are currently supporting individuals in Bass Coast, Cardinia, Casey, South Gippsland, Latrobe and expanding quickly to other parts of Victoria, we have group facilities in the Korumburra/Leongatha areas and are excited to announce the opening of our New Facility in Pakenham in the coming months.
