The Making of Far and Wide

Far and Wide Support Services aims to be a boutique disability provider, specialising in value for money, adventure through experience and one-on-one support and focus. Operating within the industry for 4 years, we have grown to offer an array of support services throughout the Moreton Bay and Fraser Coast.

Our director Lucy has a long-standing history in the disability sector, having lived her own struggles with hearing loss and navigating assistive aids, through to working as a support worker in an institutionalised setting. She was tired of hearing the word ‘no’ and endeavoured to ask the question of ‘why not?’. This was the catalyst in the formation of Far and Wide’s adventure style respites with the main question being ‘Where do you want to go and how can we make it happen?’.

Far and Wide has continually developed as we have grown both in staff and client numbers. Our original ‘low to no’ policy of paperwork was soon scrapped and a transition process for both our staff and clients occurred begrudgingly. As we have grown our focus on our clients has been unwavering in our determination to be present in enabling our clients decisions to become reality.

We aim to be the one you go to for the time of your life, we are Far and Wide.

  • When considering supports it’s important to ask yourself if these supports are in included in your plan.

    • Do you need the support because of your disability?

    • Is the support likely to meet your needs?

    • Is the cost of the support reasonable?

    • Can you afford the support within your support budget?

    • Is the support something that should be funded by the NDIS and not other government services?

    • Is the support safe?

    • Is the support legal?
