NDIS SUPPORT + PEER SUPPORT
Melbourne & northern suburbs
A familiar support worker. Clear communication. A straightforward referral.
Refer a participant for practical, one-to-one NDIS support and lived-experience peer support with Rupert. Rush Connect & Care is an independent sole trader service for people who value steady company, routine and community connection.
Current referral focus: ongoing mental health support, around 30–40 hours per week. Rupert is particularly interested in supporting a participant living with a mental health condition who needs regular practical support across the week. Hours are agreed around the participant’s needs, goals, funding and preferences, subject to service fit and availability. For ongoing arrangements of 30 hours or more per week, rates may also be negotiated to help fit the participant’s available funding, depending on the support needs, schedule and location. Any agreed pricing is confirmed in writing before support begins.
Support coordinators, plan managers, allied health professionals and service providers are welcome to enquire. Referrals are reviewed for fit and availability before any support is agreed.
A participant living with a mental health condition who would benefit from a familiar worker and ongoing support across several days. Support may include company, routines, community access, appointments, transport and practical goal follow-through. The focus is consistent, non-clinical support.
Melbourne, with a focus on the inner and northern suburbs. Share the suburb and preferred days or hours so Rupert can confirm travel, availability and whether the support is suitable.
RCC is an unregistered NDIS provider. Self-managed and plan-managed referrals can be considered where the plan and support allow. RCC cannot deliver NDIA-managed funded supports.
View current support rates. Hours, transport or other applicable charges, cancellations and the service agreement are discussed before support starts. A referral does not commit the participant to a booking.
Review screening and qualifications and the service agreement, insurance information and policies. Ask Rupert for any further evidence needed for your checks.
Practical, non-clinical support, not therapy, crisis response, medical care or behaviour support. With participant consent, agree how goals, progress and concerns are communicated to the referrer.
