With a highly trained team, Melba offers a range of services and supports designed to promote independence, wellbeing and community connection:
Access to a range of supports for you to choose from to find the right balance of support and independence, in your own home or in shared living. Our team can support you with things like daily tasks, building skills and your health and wellbeing.
Individualised Support Arrangements with Melba is one to one support that’s tailored for you to live life your way – this could be out and about in your community, or support with personal care or household tasks in your own home. It’s about providing access to a range of supports that you can choose from – supports that align with your sense of independence, your interests and what brings you joy.
Melba has a range of respite options across the Ballarat area. Respite looks different for everyone, from a relaxing weekend to a week full of activities. It’s a chance to take a break in a fully supportive environment.
Leisure and Recreation is our tailored, fee for service program for you to plan and set off on your next adventure. We have scalable levels of support and provide a range of small group or individual holiday options.
Melba’s occupational therapy can unlock new possibilities that matter to you. Whether you’re looking to develop new skills, access equipment, or tackle specific challenges, we’re ready to support you every step of the way.
We take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Our “wraparound” approach places you at the centre of a support system that includes your family, healthcare providers and Melba employees.
We work closely with people who use behaviours of protest as a form of communication to understand what they’re trying to communicate and create individualised, flexible strategies that ensure they are truly seen and heard. Our approach is trauma informed, human rights based and grounded in evidence.
Intimacy is more than romance – it’s about meaningful human connection that makes you feel wanted, valued, understood and safe. We know forming meaningful relationships is helped by having informed, confident families and support networks, which is why we offer workshops that provide them with a safe space and practical tools to work on navigating these important conversations.
