NDIS Support Workers Ripponlea

Disability Support Workers

Your Partner in NDIS Support


Ripponlea is a small but characterful suburb, and PotentialMe is proud to serve participants right here in this community. We don't use a generic approach to NDIS support. We recruit our own support workers, put them through proper training, and match them to participants based on your specific needs, goals, and personality. That is how we deliver disability support that makes a real difference.

Compassionate Support

NDIS Mental Health Support Workers


Ripponlea's close-knit, heritage character makes it a particularly supportive environment for participants who value familiarity and community. PotentialMe's mental health support workers in the area are here to help participants feel more in control of their daily lives. Living with a mental health condition brings its own set of challenges. Isolation, difficulty with tasks, and the need for someone you can count on are experiences many participants share.


Our support workers are chosen for their warmth, their training, and their commitment to the people they work with. We operate in alignment with your clinical team to deliver support that is both flexible and consistent. Our workers are trained and passionate about working with participants with psychosocial disabilities, intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injuries, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Key Areas of Focus

How NDIS Support Workers Help

    “Sarah really took the time to understand exactly where I was coming from. She made me feel safe and heard and I always felt more confident after my sessions with her. She is always friendly, professional and I could tell that she really cared.”

    “From the first time I met Sarah, I knew that I was never gonna go anywhere else for my therapy. Sarah took a truly holistic approach to my treatment and included things like physical health, my relationship with my family, and my work responsibilities into account when giving me advice. I’m not sure where I would be without her.”

    “When I met Sarah, I was in a really bad place. Now, after weekly sessions over the last few months, I’m making steady progress with my mental and physical health, as well as my relationship with my loved ones. I have no hesitation in recommending PotentialMe OT services.”

    “When I first got my NDIS Plan, I had a lot of anxiety about managing my NDIS funding but ever since PotentialMe took over, I feel very comfortable and relaxed knowing that all my supports are paid accurately and on time and also feel great knowing how much funds I still have available at any time.”

    “One of the best things about PotentialMe OT is that they can fit around my schedule. Sarah would drive to my house for weekly sessions, and when that wasn’t possible, we would have our meetings on Zoom. This allowed me to prioritise my mental health without significantly impacting my busy life.”
