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.

Kempsey Regional Support is a member of the Ability Options Community

Temporary Transformation Payment Information for Participants
In 2019 the NDIS introduced a higher support price limit through a Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP). This was for registered NDIS providers of attendant care, community and centre-based activities who meet special conditions (Eligibility Criteria). Ability Options is an eligible provider who can claim this higher price limit to assist us to continue transforming our services and supports.

Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with a Disability
Ability Options is looking forward to engaging in the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with a Disability. We see it as a real and positive opportunity to identify and make the changes needed to ensure that people with a disability are respected for their worth, treated with dignity and respect and can fulfil their potential as equal citizens, safe and free from violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation.
