Social Work + Therapy Services
Living life on your terms
At Taking Steps, we believe that people are the experts of their own lives. We walk alongside you in the everyday moments that matter most.
Our new community and daily living support services are here to help you connect with your community, build independence, work towards your goals, and do the things that bring you joy.
What are Core Supports?
Core Supports are practical, hands-on supports funded through your NDIS plan. They're designed to assist you with the things that are part of everyday life - whether that's getting out and about, developing new skills, making connections in your community, or managing your day-to-day routine.
At Taking Steps, our core supports are delivered with the same warm, person-centred approach that's at the heart of everything we do. No cookie-cutter services. Just genuine support, tailored to you.
What we can help with
Getting out in your community We support you to access the places, activities, and people that matter to you - whether that's local events, parks, shops, community groups, or anything else on the Gold Coast and surrounds.
Day-to-day living Support with the everyday tasks that help your life run smoothly - from routines and appointments to household tasks and personal admin.
Working towards your goals Whatever you're working towards, we're in your corner. We'll help you take the steps - big and small - to get there.
Social and community participation Building connections and being part of your community is important. We'll support you to find your people and your place
Our Team
Our community and daily living supports are led by Kim Ketley, our Services Coordinator and Senior Support Worker.
Kim brings six years of experience in community services, and a genuine passion for supporting people to live full, meaningful lives. She's known for her warm, patient and encouraging approach - the kind of person who makes you feel at ease from day one.
Outside of work, when Kim isn’t chasing after her energetic toddler, she loves animals, spending time in the kitchen cooking up something delicious, and making the most of everything the Gold Coast has to offer. She brings that same energy and enthusiasm to her work every single day.
