Everyday Independence is a registered NDIS provider delivering therapy services and employment supports across Newcastle and surrounding areas.
Several reviewers specifically praise individual staff members by name — including Cass G, Kate Kinsella, Kate Morris, and others — describing them as patient, caring, and willing to go above and beyond for children with complex needs such as autism and ADHD. The support provided is frequently described as meaningful and goal-oriented, with multiple parents noting real improvements in their children's communication, independence, and confidence. One reviewer, however, gave a one-star rating and reported receiving generic, unhelpful advice that did not match what was promised, along with an error-filled report the provider refused to correct — a concern worth noting for parents considering the service.

Everyday Independence is a registered NDIS provider delivering therapy services and employment supports across Newcastle and surrounding areas. They work with children, teenagers, and adults in everyday settings—at home, in schools, workplaces, and within the local community—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.
