About Roots Of Care

Grounded in care, guided by you

We are a disability support provider built on genuine relationships — here to walk alongside participants and their families every step of the way.

Our story

Care that starts with listening

Roots Of Care was founded on a simple belief: that every person deserves support that truly fits their life.

Roots Of Care was established to fill a genuine need in Cobblebank and the surrounding communities of Melbourne's growing west — a need for disability support that goes beyond task completion and instead focuses on the whole person.

Our founders saw that participants and families were too often navigating a system that felt impersonal and inflexible. They set out to create something different: a provider where relationships come first, where workers are chosen with care, and where every support plan reflects the real goals and preferences of the individual.

We work with NDIS participants across a range of needs, providing core support, community access, and capacity building. Whether you are newly navigating the NDIS or looking for a provider who will genuinely listen, we are here — in your corner, at your pace.

What we stand for

Our values

These values are not just words on a wall — they shape every interaction, every support plan, and every decision we make.

Respect

We honour each participant's identity, culture, choices and lived experience. Dignity is non-negotiable in everything we do.

Empowerment

We support participants to build confidence, exercise choice, and take meaningful control of their own lives.

Integrity

We are honest, transparent and accountable — to participants, families, and the broader community we serve.

Inclusion

We believe every person belongs. We actively work to remove barriers and ensure our support is accessible to all.

Compassion

We bring genuine warmth and care to our work, recognising that behind every support need is a person who matters.

Our approach

Support built around you, not the other way around

No two participants are the same, and we do not treat them as if they are. When you come to Roots Of Care, we take the time to understand what matters to you — your goals, your routines, your preferences, and the people who are important in your life.

From there, we work with you to shape a support arrangement that genuinely fits. We match participants with workers thoughtfully, looking for compatibility in communication style, interests and approach — because the right relationship makes all the difference.

We also work closely with families, carers and allied health professionals, treating everyone involved as a partner in the process. You will always know what is happening, and your feedback will always be welcomed and acted on.
