Our Services

The Dann Growth & Independence difference

At Dann Growth & Independence, we focus on practical, hands-on capacity building that empowers individuals to develop real-life skills, build confidence, and move toward greater independence. Our approach is warm, person-centred, and grounded in genuine connection — walking side by side with participants as they learn, grow, and achieve their goals.

 

Below is a detailed explanation of each support we provide:

Life Skills Development

 

We support participants to learn and strengthen everyday life skills that build independence and confidence. This includes:

 

Problem-solving and decision-making

Personal organisation and time management

Communication and self-advocacy

Building healthy routines and habits

Understanding rights, responsibilities, and boundaries

 

Our sessions focus on developing practical skills that can be used at home, at work, and in the community.

Daily Living Skills

 

We provide hands-on learning that supports participants to manage day-to-day tasks with greater ease and independence. This may include:

 

Cooking and meal preparation

• Household tasks and cleaning
• Budgeting and managing money
• Shopping skills
• Personal organisation
• Using public transport

• Supporting participants to build confidence in completing tasks on their own

 

This support is delivered both in-home and in-community, depending on each participant’s goals and comfort level.

 

Social & Community Participation

 

We help participants connect with their community and develop meaningful social skills, routines, and relationships. Support may include:

 

• Attending appointments, activities, programs, or social events
• Exploring hobbies, sports, and interests
• Learning social communication and interaction skills
• Building confidence in group settings or new environments
• Increasing independence when accessing community spaces

 

Our goal is to help participants feel safe, included, and confident engaging with the world around them.

 

Mentoring and Goal Setting

 

We work side by side with participants to identify their strengths, explore their goals, and break them down into achievable steps. Mentoring can include:

 

• Guidance with personal development
• Building motivation and self-belief
• Identifying long-term and short-term goals
• Tracking progress and celebrating achievements
• Encouragement, accountability, and emotional support

 

This support empowers participants to grow at their own pace while feeling supported, seen, and heard.

 

Confidence and Personal Development

 

Building confidence is at the heart of what we do. We help participants explore their potential and develop the tools they need to feel more capable and in control of their daily lives. This may involve:

 

• Strength-based activities and self-esteem building
• Identifying strengths and interests
• Emotional regulation and coping strategies
• Building resilience
• Developing positive self-identity
• Practising safe, confident decision-making

 

Our focus is on empowering participants to believe in themselves and their abilities — because confidence is the foundation for independence.

 

Support Coordination

At Dann Growth & Independence, Support Coordination is about more than just setting up services - it's about walking beside you and making the NDIS work in a way that actually fits your life. 

 

We take the time to understand your goals, your challenges, and what matters most to you. From there, we help you make sense of your NDIS plan, connect with the right supports, and ensure everything is set up clearly, correctly, and compliantly.

 

Our Support Coordination focuses on:

• Building your confidence to understand and use your plan
• Connecting you with trusted local and community-based supports
• Reducing overwhelm by handling the admin, follow-ups, and problem-solving
• Supporting plan reviews, evidence gathering, and advocacy when things aren’t working
• Helping you build capacity, choice, and control over time

We offer a calm, practical, and person-centred approach — with honest communication, clear boundaries, and no pressure.

 

Whether you need short-term guidance or ongoing support, we meet you where you’re at and work at your pace.
