Support That Reflects What Matters Most

When you are supporting someone with intellectual disability, finding the right services and opportunities can feel overwhelming – particularly as their goals, interests and circumstances change.

You might be thinking about home and living supports, employment pathways, community activities, skill-building programs or other opportunities that are available to your family member.

Endeavour Foundation has been supporting people with disability for 75 years. We can help you explore options, discuss what may align with your family member's goals and take the next steps when you are ready.

Whether you have a clear goal in mind or are exploring what comes next, we are here to help you find the right path forward.

Supporting a young person in foster, kinship or out-of-home care?

We can help foster and kinship carers, families and professionals explore suitable pathways for a young person with intellectual disability as they prepare for adulthood.

This may include building independence, participating in the community, preparing for employment and exploring home and living supports.

Planning the Next Chapter

Everyone’s journey is different, and there is no single right path. Some families are thinking about a young person leaving school. Others are exploring new supports, a change in goals or what the next stage of life could look like for their family member.

Whatever stage you are at, you might be thinking about community connection, employment, skill-building, living more independently, understanding your NDIS funding or finding the right services in your area.

Our team is here to help you understand what is available, what may suit your family member's goals and what the next steps could look like whenever you are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Endeavour Foundation provides disability services across community participation, skill-building, employment, home and living supports and more.

Available services may depend on the person’s goals, support needs, funding, location and service availability.

Some Endeavour Foundation services may support young people with intellectual disability who are preparing for adulthood, including young people transitioning from statutory care.

Suitability will depend on their age, goals, support needs, funding, location and service availability. Our team can explain which pathways may be relevant.

Yes. Foster carers, kinship carers, Child Safety representatives and other authorised supporters can contact us to explore disability support options for a young person or adult with disability. Our team can explain available services, discuss goals and support needs, and help identify suitable pathways based on age, location, funding and individual circumstances.

Young people with intellectual disability transitioning from foster, kinship, residential or other out-of-home care arrangements may need support across several areas as they prepare for adulthood.

Depending on their goals and circumstances, pathways may include building independence, community participation, employment preparation, in-home support or future home and living options.

Our team can learn more about the young person and help carers, families and professionals explore suitable next steps.

You do not need to know the exact service you require before getting in touch with us. Our team can talk with you about your family member’s goals, interests, support needs, location and funding to help identify possible pathways.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is the Australian Government program that funds support for people with disability. Endeavour Foundation is a registered NDIS provider and can deliver supports funded through your family member’s plan. If you are unsure about eligibility, we can point you in the right direction.

NDIS funding is generally required for many disability supports, including community participation, day programs and home and living supports.

Some employment pathways may not require NDIS funding, depending on the person’s goals, eligibility and the type of support they are interested in. Our team can outline what may apply to your situation.

We can still talk through your situation and explain next steps. Some employment pathways may not require NDIS funding, and we can guide you on how to get started if funding is needed.

We can explain how Endeavour Foundation services may connect with NDIS supports and what information may be useful when exploring services.

We do not replace a Support Coordinator, plan manager or the NDIA, but we can make the service pathway easier to understand.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) helps people with disability live as independently as possible, either alone or with others. It can include support with daily tasks, personal care and community access.

Our team will review your enquiry and contact you to learn more about your family member’s goals, support needs, location and funding. We will then detail which Endeavour Foundation services may be suitable and what the next stage could look like.

Timeframes vary depending on the type of service, location, availability, funding and the person’s support needs. Some services may progress quickly, while others, such as home and living supports, may take longer due to availability and matching considerations. Our team will outline what to expect.

Yes. Parents and carers often play an important role in a person’s support network. We will work with the person and their family to understand how they would like you to remain involved.

We are proudly based in Queensland, where we have our largest network of services, and are expanding across Australia. Our team can advise what is available in your area.
