Green Umbrella is a locally based disability support service helping NDIS participants across the Glasshouse Mountains and Beerwah region to live more independent, fulfilling lives.
Supporting plan-managed and self-managed participants, the organisation works with people aged 13 to 65, both male and female, with mental health, physical and intellectual disabilities.
While mental health support has become Green Umbrella’s niche, its services are broad and practical.
Support workers assist with day-to-day household tasks, meal preparation and domestic duties, as well as community access.
This includes transport to appointments, shopping, social outings and time spent outdoors, recognising the benefits of nature for both physical and mental wellbeing.
Green Umbrella supports participants from Caboolture and Morayfield through to Maroochydore, including the Glasshouse Mountains hinterland.
Director Troy, who has lived in Glasshouse Mountains for more than 16 years, prides himself on offering genuinely local knowledge and care.
Recent successes include helping participants obtain boat and car licences, begin and complete traineeships, start further study, gain part-time and casual employment, and build confidence and independence at home and in the community. Others have been supported to connect with local groups and take up new hobbies.
A key point of difference is Green Umbrella’s commitment to matching participants with the right support workers.
The focus is on person-centred care, with well-trained staff who are attentive, present and genuinely engaged.
