Social Work Services
A disability social worker plays a vital, hands-on role in supporting individuals to live independently, engage with their communities, and build fulfilling lives. Whether it’s helping someone attend a community centre, join a local group, or build confidence using public transport, social workers empower individuals to stay socially connected and develop life skills that foster greater independence.
In addition to community participation, social workers provide emotional and practical support across a variety of life areas. This includes helping individuals manage mental health concerns, build stronger family relationships, or access safe housing. With a strong focus on advocacy, inclusion, and well-being, they act as trusted allies, ensuring that people with disabilities are not only heard but supported in a way that is respectful, culturally sensitive, and aligned with their personal goals.

At AHP Disability and Home Care, our social workers are dedicated to helping individuals with disability build confidence, connection, and independence in their daily lives. We support people to engage in their communities, develop meaningful relationships, and overcome emotional or social challenges. Whether it’s accompanying someone to a local event, providing one-on-one emotional support, or helping build everyday life skills, our focus is on personalised care that fosters inclusion, well-being, and autonomy.
What Sets Our Social Work Services Apart?
At AHP Disability and Home Care, our social work services stand out for their holistic, collaborative, and personalised approach. Each disability social worker on our team is trained to assess and support the full spectrum of an individual’s physical, emotional, social, and environmental needs. What differentiates us is how seamlessly social work integrates into our broader care model. Working alongside physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and dietitians, our social workers contribute to a coordinated, multidisciplinary plan that offers meaningful and lasting support.
Advocacy lies at the heart of everything we do. Our social workers go beyond day-to-day support to actively champion the rights of participants, whether it’s securing housing, navigating funding, or accessing education and community programs. With extensive experience in complex cases such as family breakdowns, mental health challenges, domestic violence, and social isolation, our team ensures each person receives compassionate, professional guidance tailored to their unique circumstances.
Empower and Thrive.
Empowerment is central to everything we do. Our disability social worker team doesn’t just “support” - they uplift and enable individuals to break through obstacles, reclaim autonomy, and pursue meaningful goals.
Who Can Benefit from Our Services?
Our social work services are ideal for individuals living with disability who may need extra support to build independence, connect with their community, or manage emotional and social challenges. Whether it’s supporting community participation, improving home life, or addressing mental health needs, our social workers offer practical, compassionate assistance tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.
We also support families who are managing complex care needs. Whether it’s a parent advocating for a child with a developmental delay or a carer assisting someone with a psychosocial disability, our team ensures that everyone involved receives coordinated, compassionate support tailored to their situation.
