Extended Families LinC Referral Form Logo
  • LinC Referral Form

  • Thank you for choosing Extended Families Australia's LinC Program to provide skilled, enthusiastic, quality disability support workers for you, or someone you support.

    If you would like more information about our LinC service, including the program flier, this can be found on our website. 

    There you will also find information about other Extended Families' services such as ExtendABLE Online, Plan Management, Support Coordination, and Volunteer Match. 

    We have a belief that everyone should be linked in, included, and connected to their community, but know sometimes a little help is needed. We support people by carefully matching people with a disability to support workers who work with participants to capacity building and community inclusion.

    Capacity building and skill development: Experienced staff work with participants to develop independent living skills with the overall aim of fostering natural relationships and genuine community inclusion. The aim is to support people with a disability to feel valued and contribute to their community in a meaningful way. Focus areas might include working on organisational skills, independence on public transport, social and communication skills, health and nutrition planning and positive behaviour support.

    Inclusion support: Our support workers work with participants to identify interests and goals, and encourage participation in community, social and recreation activities.

    While we are here to provide ongoing, consistent support, our overall aim is to support people to develop the skills and confidence to participate in social, recreational, and vocational activities independently, so that one day, our services are no longer required.

    We're here to help: If you’re unsure about the support you need, talk to us about working out a plan to achieve longer term life and independence goals.
