Brightwater Disability Services Header Banner

Brightwater is dedicated to helping people with neurological, psychosocial, and other complex disabilities live more independently.

What that means is we provide support to people whose lives aren’t always easy. We aim to help them experience their best possible life, whatever that means to them.

We approach our work by ensuring each person in our care benefits from support, accommodation, and services tailored to the specific challenges they face.

Brightwater works with clients who are funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and have funding from other sources, including self-funding.
