Open Hand Support is a family owned service that offers disability support across the Upper and Lower Hunter for people who need practical help, genuine patience and care that fits real life.
At Open Hand Support, we work with people in the real parts of life, not just the parts that fit neatly on a support plan. Some mornings need patience. Some appointments feel like a lot. Some personal care needs extra dignity, privacy and trust. Some goals take time before they even feel possible. We take the time to understand what the day looks like, what feels hard and what support needs to feel like for the person receiving it.
We will talk through what is hard, what is working and where an extra pair of hands could make the week feel easier.
Good support is not just about being kind. It is knowing when someone needs help, when they need space, when a routine needs more time and when something small is actually a big deal.
With more than 30 years across aged care, disability, youth work, behavioural support and complex care, Open Hand Support brings the kind of experience that shows up in the way people are spoken to, cared for and supported through the day.
A change in mood. A harder morning. A task that suddenly feels too much. We pay attention to the details that can change how support needs to happen.
Personal care, complex needs and support at home can feel vulnerable. We take that seriously and work in a way that feels calm, respectful and safe.
Our experience includes brain trauma, PEG feeding, bowel care, mental health and behavioural support, our staff follow all care plans, policies & procedures and can work together with all stakeholders.
When support is done well, people do not have to keep repeating themselves, families are not left chasing answers, and small details are not treated like small details. Open Hand Support is built around the kind of care where routines are remembered, communication is clear, and the person receiving support feels known, not managed.
No more repeating the same details. No more chasing answers. No more wondering if the person showing up actually understands what matters.
Get in touch with Open Hand Support and take the first step towards disability support that feels more familiar, more reliable and more human.
