VIRTUALLY PRIDE

Pride Disability Services can provide a hybrid support model to individuals, to utilise their phones, computers, tablets and even social media platforms for supports for the very first time. Support staff can assist individuals to embrace technology to increase their technical and social media skills which allows them to fully participant in the LGBTQIA+ and Gender Diverse communities.

Here at Pride Disability Services, we recognise at times the difficulties you can have in connecting within the Australian community, engagement in social events, learning new skills, being involved in fun activities, health and fitness planning and advice, living a fun life or even staying socially connected. This can all be socially isolating and detriment to your health and wellbeing. Virtually Pride enables individuals from all walks to life to connect with each other Australia wide.

What are the benefits of Virtual Support?

Supports can be scary at the very least, and choosing Virtual Supports may not be an option for everyone, but while the delivery isn’t face-to-face, the quality of service remains the same at any rate Why be Alone?

Benefits of Virtually Pride:

As part of the Virtually Pride programs, Pride Disability Services can assist you to learn new skills, like cooking, learning new ways to connect with the community, budgeting and much more. Participants who have mobility challenges or live remotely, Virtually Pride offers a great alternative to face to face supports to enable our LGBTQIA+ clients to stay safe, feel supported and connected.

Support workers can help you to Virtually access the community and engage in social and recreational activities.

Pride Disability Services understands the challenges of regional living or not having someone close by. We even have staff who live and work in regional towns in Victoria who have a strong understanding themselves of these challenges.

If we are unable to get you a Support Coordinator or Support Worker face to face, or if they are not in your immediate area or State, we can draw on the collective knowledge of the entire support team from Pride Disability Services to make sure participants find the right supports close to home keeping you up to date via video chats whilst supporting you at the same time.

How does Virtual Support work?

Once you have submitted an expression of interest for supports with Pride Disability Services our Intake Manager will guide you through the whole process. It will be a smooth transition of information collection to establishing virtual supports to meet your needs. We will work with you and your Support Coordination team to meet your NDIS budget according to your chosen category of supports and we will arrange a meet and greet with a number of our fabulous staff who will be working on your team. When you meet, it’s just like face-to-face: you’ll have an opportunity to check in, continue working on your NDIS Plan goals and get the support you require.

Virtual supports will never replace meeting staff in person, however we can give you even more choice and control when it comes to getting the right support at the right time – whether you live in Regional or Rural Victoria.
