Local & area supportDisability Support Services across Toowoomba and surrounding communities
Toowoomba combines established city suburbs with nearby towns and communities spread across a wider regional area. That means disability support often needs to account for more than the task itself. Travel between home, appointments, shopping, work, family, education and community activities can influence how a participant wants their week organised.
Participants in East Toowoomba, Newtown, Harristown, Rangeville, Centenary Heights or Kearneys Spring may have many regular destinations within the city. Someone living around Highfields, Westbrook, Oakey, Pittsworth, Cambooya, Wyreema or Crows Nest may travel further for particular appointments, relationships or community services.
Support should fit around the participant's real weekly routine.
Travel time, appointments, family connections, community activities and preferred schedules can all influence when assistance is useful and how much time needs to be allowed.
