Local & area support
Disability Support Services across the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast stretches across busy coastal communities, major activity centres, established inland suburbs and the growing northern corridor. Disability support therefore needs to reflect where the participant actually lives, where their appointments and relationships are located and how they prefer to move through their week.
Disability Support Services across the Gold Coast
Northern, central, coastal and southern Gold Coast communities
A participant around Southport, Labrador or Surfers Paradise may have different travel and community routines from someone living around Robina, Varsity Lakes or Mudgeeraba. Further south, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Currumbin and Coolangatta can form part of regular appointments, family relationships and community life.
The northern Gold Coast also has its own travel patterns. Helensvale, Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau may involve longer journeys to particular health services, activities or established relationships elsewhere across the city. Support scheduling can consider those practical distances instead of treating every suburb as though everyday travel is identical.
Local support should make the participant's week more manageable.
Travel time, regular appointments, work, family relationships, community activities and preferred routines can all influence when assistance is most useful.
