NDIS Provider Altona
Hilda Care is an NDIS provider in Altona supporting participants with personal care, in-home support, community participation, and daily living assistance across Melbourne’s west.
We provide NDIS support services in Altona to help participants maintain independence, access their community, and work towards their personal goals.
Our Disability Support Services in Altona
We provide a full range of disability services in Altona funded through your existing NDIS plan. Every service is shaped around the individual needs.
Cleaning, cooking, laundry, and grocery shopping so participants can stay comfortable and safe at home. Altona has good local shopping along Pier Street and at Altona Gate Shopping Centre, and we help participants make use of what is close by. Our household tasks support covers NDIS household tasks under Core Supports in the plan.
After-Hours and Weekend Support
Some participants need support outside normal weekday hours. We provide early morning, evening, and weekend support for participants whose daily routine or care needs do not fit into a standard schedule. This can also help when family carers are unavailable or need a break.
For participants who need daily support to live as independently as possible, our supported independent living options are personalised. Supported independent living placements in Altona and nearby are matched to the participant’s goals, lifestyle, and cultural background.
We support participants in getting to Cherry Lake, Altona Coastal Park, the Altona Arts and Community Centre, local sporting clubs, and the Altona Beach Festival. Our community participation support covers NDIS community participation and is built around what the participant actually wants to do.
Many families in Altona have been providing disability care for a long time without a proper break. Our respite care gives family carers time to rest while the participant receives safe and steady support. Short-term and planned overnight respite can be arranged through the participant’s NDIS plan.
We help participants travel to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and community activities across Altona and into Melbourne. In this part of Melbourne’s west, reliable transport support makes it easier for participants to actually use their NDIS plan and attend important appointments.
We support participants to build everyday skills like budgeting, cooking, using public transport, and managing household tasks. This support is funded under Capacity Building in the NDIS plan and focuses on building independence over time.
Moving From Another Provider to Hilda Care in Altona
You can change your NDIS provider at any time. Many participants in Altona contact us after having a poor experience with another provider. The reasons are usually the same. The support professionals changed all the time, the schedule was unreliable, and no one took the time to understand the participant and their family.
Changing providers is usually simple. The main thing to check is the notice period in your current service agreement, which is commonly between two and four weeks. During that time, we prepare everything to ensure a smooth transition. We learn about your daily routine, preferred schedule, support needs, and any health or behaviour support plans so your new support provider is ready before the first visit.
When support begins, we focus on making sure everything feels right. We check that the schedule works, the support meets your needs, and you are comfortable with your support professional. If something is not working, just tell us, and we will make changes as soon as possible. Our goal is to provide the same support worker on a regular schedule that fits your life in Altona.
Why Families in Altona Choose Hilda Care
Participants in Altona want support they can rely on. They want a provider who arrives on time, understands the local area, and provides the same quality of support every week. That is what we aim to deliver.
- Registered NDIS provider: Hilda Care has been registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission since 2018. Provider Number: 4050126032. Participants with NDIA-managed and plan-managed plans can access our services directly.
- Support workers who know Altona: Our team knows Altona and the surrounding suburbs. From Cherry Lake and the Altona foreshore to Altona North and Laverton, our support professionals understand the local area and can help participants get to appointments, community activities, and everyday destinations without unnecessary stress.
- Support for older and long-term participants: Many participants in Altona are older adults or people living with long-term physical disabilities and health conditions. We match them with workers who have the right experience and aim to keep the same care provider in place, giving participants the consistency and familiarity they value.
Staying Connected in Altona
Altona has many places and activities that can support a better quality of life, but regular access is what really makes the difference. Altona Meadows Community Centre runs programmes like fitness, arts, performing arts, health and wellbeing, and social groups for people of different ages and backgrounds.
For many participants living with disabilities, being able to attend these places regularly can meaningfully support their well-being. Our NDIS daily living support and community participation services work together so that participants in Altona can get out into the community regularly, not only when family members are available.

How to Get Started
Moving from initial contact to receiving stable, ongoing support follows a series of steps.
First contact
Contact us; we ask simple questions about the NDIS plan, disability, and support needs. No paperwork is needed at this stage.
Needs conversation
We talk with the participant and family about goals, daily routine, cultural background, and past support experience. This helps shape the support plan.
Worker matching
We choose a care provider based on the information shared. In Altona, language, cultural fit, and disability experience are the main parts of the match.
Service agreement
We clearly explain what support will be provided, when it will happen, and how it will be funded under the NDIS plan. Everything is written in simple language.
Support begins
The same support worker starts visits on the agreed schedule each week to build routine and consistency.
Ongoing reviews
We check progress at 30 days, 90 days, and during the support period. If needs change, we update the support plan instead of waiting for the yearly review.
Goal Achievement Support Framework
An NDIS plan includes goals; we use a clear process to help participants in Altona work towards what they want to achieve:
- Goal identification: At the start of support, we sit with the participant and family to turn planned goals into simple daily actions. For example, “be more independent at home” becomes small tasks we work on during support visits.
- Progress tracking: Each session adds to a progress record. Participants and families can see what is being worked on and how things are progressing, rather than waiting for the plan review.
- Regular check-ins: We review progress at 30 days, 90 days, and during the support period. If something is not working, we look at it and make changes.
- Adjusting goals when needed: Goals can change over time. If a goal is no longer important, we update the support plan to match what the participant wants right now.
- Family involvement: If families or carers want to be part of goal setting and reviews, we include them from the beginning so everyone is working towards the same outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do care providers help participants get more involved in the Altona community?
We help participants get to local places and events such as Altona Meadows Community Centre programmes, the esplanade, Cherry Lake, the Altona Beach Festival, and other community activities. The focus is on regular community connection, not only one-off outings.
Can support be matched to a participant’s personal interests and hobbies?
Yes. At the start, we ask about interests like sports, arts, outdoor activities, volunteering, or social groups. Support is then planned around what the participant enjoys.
What happens if support needs change during the NDIS plan period?
Support can be reviewed and updated when needs, goals, or routines change. There is no need to wait for the next formal plan review if something needs to be adjusted.
Can family members be involved in planning and reviewing supports?
Yes. If the participant agrees, family members and carers can be included in planning, reviews at 30 and 90 days, and any updates during the support period.
How are participants matched with support workers in Altona?
We look at support needs, communication style, cultural background, language, interests, and past experiences with support workers. For many participants, having a support worker who understands their language and culture can make support feel more comfortable.
