Welcome to Good Shepherd Support Services, where our story intertwines with deep personal roots and a mission to provide genuine connections.
Over two decades, our founders have passionately dedicated themselves to the Disability and Child & Families sector. Our inception wasn't just based on professional experience, but an emotional personal journey. Inspired by Moses, a beloved nephew living with cerebral palsy and autism, our ethos is etched with resilience, empathy, and a burning desire to elevate care standards.
Witnessing the challenges Moses faced, especially during a trying time when he was placed in shared accommodation, fuelled our commitment. That very experience was a stark reminder that the realm of disability support needed not just service, but a heartfelt understanding of each individual's unique world.
Nestled in the heart of Sydney, Newcastle and the Hunter regions, Good Shepherd's services stand out. While we offer a broad range of disability services with a specialisation in physical and complex needs, our distinct edge lies in our approach.
Before we embark on the journey of support, we dive deep into understanding each individual with each of our support workers having a foundation of empathy through our emotional intelligence assessments. This ensures our care isn't just tailored but resonates deeply with those we serve.
From providing transportation with wheelchair accessibility to engaging in social activities, from planning daily tasks to organising tailored respites, we're here every step of the way. Our recent endeavours, like accommodating a participant at Terminus apartments or organising a trip to Sydney's delights, showcase our dedication to enriching experiences.
However, beyond services, our true strength lies in our team. A team characterised by:
* Empathetic Professionals: Our hiring emphasises emotional intelligence, leading to a compassionate and understanding team.
* Qualified Staff: Lean on our experienced and certified staff, always devoted to continuous support.
* Inclusive Environment: We envision a future where everyone feels included, supported, and empowered. At Good Shepherd, we're more than a service. We're a testament to the transformative power of empathy, care, and relentless commitment. Join us in our mission to create a world where everyone, irrespective of their challenges, feels understood, valued, and empowered.
At the heart of every impactful initiative is a deeply personal tale. Our story at Good Shepherd Support Services is no different, inspired by resilience, love, and a commitment to change.
Years ago, a young boy named Moses entered our lives. Living with cerebral palsy and autism, Moses wasn't just a nephew; he became a beacon of inspiration and a mirror reflecting the highs and lows many face within the disability sector. His laughter is infectious, his spirit unyielding, and his journey, though challenges, became a testament to the human spirit's unbeatable will.
This was the personal journey that birthed Good Shepherd Support Services. Our mission is to ensure that no one, irrespective of their challenges, felt overlooked or misunderstood.
Located in the vibrant locales of Sydney, Newcastle and the Hunter regions, Good Shepherd grew not as a mere service but as a movement. A movement championing empathy, care, and an unyielding commitment to individualised support. At the core of our operations is an emotional intelligence assessment, our tool to ensure every individual feels deeply understood and valued right from their first interaction with us.
Our name, 'Good Shepherd', is symbolic of our commitment. Like a shepherd who understands, cares for, and protects every sheep in the flock, we too strive to be the guiding force, ensuring every individual in our care feels cherished, understood, and empowered.
When receiving services from Good Shepherd, participants will always be able to rely on the best in professional, experienced and qualified staff, providing continuous and active support to people with mental and physical disabilities.
