Your Sirv partner is local. Your care is planned, delivered and managed by people in your community, backed by a national team for quality, compliance and support.
Our passion for developing strong individuals and strong teams will mean that the person-centered supports you receive will be delivered by good people who are not only competent but who love the work they do. Our passion is having meaning, and our meaning is our passion.
Hi there!
I’m Lewis. I am an experienced and motivated manager and Registered Nurse with a passion for developing teams and optimising outcomes for our participants. I live a purposeful life – at home with my family and at work. I bring a sense of meaning and purpose to everything I do, and I strive to instil these values in those around me. Along with this sense of meaning, I possess a wealth of leadership and management experience gained over the last 12 years in and out of the NDIS sector. Myself and my team all share one thing in common – we believe in the work we do.
Let us show you!
"Grace speaks very highly of her support worker Sam and is really enjoying her supports with Sirv, due to the great match the managing partner, Samantha Lovett, has provided. Grace said she thinks that the supports are going well because Samantha took the time to match her with a support worker that would work well with her. Please thank Sam for doing an amazing job and having a positive impact in our participant's life!"
"Bron brings a wealth of knowledge to her role as Managing Partner with Sirv. Her passion to assist NDIS participants to live a full and meaningful life is clearly demonstrated by her dedication and quick-to-solutions attitude. Aided by her years of experience, Bron demonstrates person-centered practices and a holistic approach to NDIS supports and services. As a local Support Coordinator, I have the upmost confidence in referring the people I support to providers like Sirv."
"Sirv is the best service provider I have encountered. Others tried but gave up. Many thanks to your team of workers for making a big difference!"
"I wanted to provide some positive feedback on the Sirv support staff at the residence at Towradgi (…). All of the staff are friendly and professional whenever I attend the house"
"Matt (Sirv staff) engages with Trev (participant) in a friendly and kind manner and has taken the time to get to know Trevor's interests. He connects with him on his level, never condescending or frustrated by communication challenges. Matt went above and beyond by customising Trev's iPad communication app, a task typically handled by a speech therapist, to help him connect more easily with house staff."
"Yasmyn's communications with Trev along with her openness and kindness make her an excellent support for Trevor. Her genuine concern for Trev after he received the news from myself that his only sibling (his brother) had passed away overseas was reassuring for me to see. She knows Trevor well and treats him with dignity and respect."
"Since working with Sal, our daughter has not only reduced her meltdowns but is now making eye contact and using words to express frustration. It's changed our family dynamic."
"The connection-first model gave me tools to build trust with my students. Our class culture has shifted dramatically."
"Bettina is fantastic – thank you so much... Hunter honestly had the best day yesterday, I feel like crying as it's been very challenging in finding the right fit for him!"
Our team is intrinsically motivated and passionate and therefore they are adaptable to your needs.
Our team is experienced in providing complex supports to participants with needs matching the NDIS high-intensity skills descriptors – Including bowel care, catheter care and complex manual handling.
Further to this, we are capable of supporting participants with psychosocial disabilities, including those with forensic backgrounds.
We also have staff who are experienced in both SIL and ILO + Support Coordination in multiple locations.
Yes. Sirv is a registered NDIS provider, which means we meet the NDIS Practice Standards and are independently audited for quality and safety. You can use our supports whether you're plan-managed, self-managed or NDIA-managed.
Our local team can support you with everyday things like personal care, help around the home and getting out into the community, right through to Supported Independent Living (SIL), 24/7 support and more complex or high-needs care. We build your supports around your goals, not a fixed menu.
For NDIS-funded supports you'll need an approved plan with funding in the relevant category. If you're not sure what your plan covers, or you're still waiting on one, reach out anyway — we can talk you through it, and we also offer privately funded support so you don't have to wait.
We take the time to understand your needs, routines and preferences, then match you with a support worker who genuinely fits. Because your partner is local, that match is made by someone who knows the workers and knows your community.
Absolutely. Your comfort matters most. If a match isn't quite right, just let your local team know and we'll arrange an alternative.
Supports are delivered locally by your Managing Partner's team, and coverage is location-specific. The quickest way to check is to reach out to your local Sirv team.
It depends on your supports and funding, but we move quickly. Get in touch and we'll give you realistic timeframes for your situation — and privately funded support can often start sooner.
Contact your local Sirv team or complete a referral form. We'll have a chat about what you need, answer your questions and put a plan in place — no obligation.
With Sirv, a local Partner owns your support and matches you with specialists who fit your goals, not a one-size roster. You get boutique, personalised disability support, backed by large-provider systems, compliance, and quality.
Join a Partner-led team where you are valued, supported, and set up to deliver great care.
If you want meaningful work with people who put clients first, we would love to hear from you.
