NDIS Support in Ferntree Gully

NDIS Support Coordination in Ferntree Gully

Our support coordination team connects Ferntree Gully participants with the Knox service network. Angliss Hospital provides major public hospital services, with its $112 million expansion set to significantly increase capacity. Approximately 28,000 people in Knox (17% of residents) have a disability of some kind, and the Knox Disability Inclusion team provides comprehensive council-level support. We also coordinate with Interchange Outer East (over 35 years delivering disability support as an NDIS-registered provider) and community organisations like the Ferntree Gully Library and local health services housed in the heritage-listed former shire offices. We work across both Knox and Yarra Ranges providers, including Boronia and Belgrave, to give you the widest possible range of options.

Hoarding & Squalor Support in Ferntree Gully

Ferntree Gully properties range from standard suburban homes to hillside blocks that back onto bushland. As with other foothills suburbs, accumulated items can pose fire safety risks, particularly for properties near vegetation. Our hoarding and squalor team addresses these concerns within a trauma-informed framework that prioritises both safety and respect. We coordinate with the Knox council’s Disability Inclusion team and community health services when integrated intervention is needed.

Therapeutic Gardening in Ferntree Gully

The Dandenong Ranges National Park, including the 1000 Steps Kokoda Memorial Trail, provides an immersive natural environment right on Ferntree Gully’s doorstep. The Ambleside Homestead grounds and local reserves offer more accessible green spaces. Our therapeutic gardening programs help participants work with native plants suited to the local conditions, establish productive gardens that take advantage of the sheltered gully environment, or simply spend time outdoors in a structured, supportive setting.
