Everyday Independence is an NDIS-registered provider delivering therapy services and employment supports across Inner Eastern Melbourne.
Communication and the quality of individual therapists are the most consistently praised aspects, with several parents highlighting specific staff members — including keyworkers, speech therapists, and OTs — for being engaged, punctual, and responsive to their child's needs. However, multiple one and two-star reviewers raise serious concerns about financial practices, describing instances where they felt pressured into unnecessary appointments to draw down NDIS funding, and two reviewers specifically report being allocated staff whose experience or qualifications did not match what was requested. Parents considering this provider should weigh the positive experiences many families report with individual practitioners against these recurring complaints about billing conduct and staff allocation.

Everyday Independence is an NDIS-registered provider delivering therapy services and employment supports across Inner Eastern Melbourne. They work with children, teenagers, and adults in everyday settings—homes, schools, workplaces, and communities—using their 'Everyday Way' approach to identify real-world barriers and provide strategies that fit into daily routines for lasting, meaningful outcomes.
A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.
Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.
Treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on techniques to improve physical function, strength and mobility. For children, physiotherapy often targets gross motor development, balance and coordination; for adults it addresses pain, injury recovery and long-term conditions.
Support in the early years (usually under 7) that helps children with developmental delay or disability build communication, movement, social and everyday-living skills while their development is most responsive.
A therapy approach that reduces challenging behaviours by understanding what is driving them and building supportive routines, environments and skills, so a child can take part more fully at home, school and in the community.
Goal-oriented one-on-one support that helps individuals build skills, confidence and direction in specific areas of life. Mentoring and coaching draw on the person's own strengths and can cover social, academic, vocational or personal development goals.
Support to help young people and adults with disability find, prepare for and maintain employment. Services may include job skills training, work experience, career planning and on-the-job support from a disability employment specialist.
Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.
Support from a Developmental Educator who specialises in helping people with intellectual disability, developmental delay and autism build practical, social and independent living skills across home, school and community settings.
A comprehensive assessment — typically conducted by an occupational therapist or allied health professional — that evaluates how a person's disability or health condition affects their ability to carry out daily tasks. The report is used to determine NDIS funding needs and plan appropriate supports.
NDIS-approved supports, from the Commission register.
