Welcome to Kempsey Regional Support
Kempsey Regional Support is a not-for-profit, community-based organisation offering a range of flexible support solutions to suit the individual needs of people with a disability and their families/carers. Our options give the person with a disability access to different and interesting opportunities and activities throughout the Kempsey Macleay and surrounding areas.
Kempsey Regional Support delivers collaborative, flexible and person-centred care and support to people with disabilities, their families and carers.
We have direct and group care support workers, as well as volunteers, who enable us to deliver effective, high quality service.
We operate under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), which commenced in New South Wales in 2018, and are a registered NDIS provider.
If you don’t have a current plan and think you might qualify, check your eligibility for NDIS funding.
