Imagine our clients learning to prepare food and coffees, serving in our community garden, and continuing to upskill in an environment where they feel valued, and proud of what they create. This vision is at the heart of our 2026 fundraising goal.
We’re working towards purchasing a small coffee and food van that our clients will help operate (think 3–4 people working inside). While the van won’t be used commercially, it will play a meaningful role at our internal events and within our Branches community.
This project will offer clients opportunity to develop practical skills, grow their confidence, and connect more deeply with the people around them. Most importantly, it opens the door to experiences that celebrate their independence and ability. 
Thank you to everyone who continues to support us. Your generosity helps us create new and meaningful opportunities for our clients and brings dreams like this one closer to reality.

What we need to make it happen

disability support

Branches Lifestyle Support – Disability Provider Brisbane

Branches Lifestyle Support is a small disability service provider in Brisbane, who encourage people to lead BIG lives.

Branches provides people with disability, the help and support they need to live independently in their own homes, as well as the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives out in their community.

We believe that people regardless of the impact of any disability they may have, have the absolute right to lead a rewarding, fulfilling life, with all of the benefits enjoyed by those people who do not have a disability.

NDIS Accreditation

We are a registered service provider with The National Disability Insurance Agency.

Our Services

Supported Independent
Living

Branches offers SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING  (SIL) services to adults with an intellectual and/or physical disability in the Brisbane area, mostly in the Eastern and Bayside regions.

We assist people to live in their own homes, sometimes by themselves, but often sharing a house with one or two others. The support we give is based around doing whatever an individual needs done to help them independently move through their daily life. We encourage people to do as much as they can for themselves, and adapt our assistance according to their capabilities.

Community
Access

COMMUNITY ACCESS programs are often designed in conjunction with our Supported Independent Living (SIL) service. A majority of the people supported by Branches use us for SIL, but everyone we support uses the community access arm of the service. It’s something we really value and we try hard to get it right.

Sometimes people don’t fit in to traditional “day program” structures, or don’t find that that sort of thing interests them. We work very hard to determine what our people genuinely want to do with their community access. Then we work with them to tailor individual programs that account for those interests, no matter how unique.

Branches
Blokes

Our BRANCHES BLOKES initiative is a unique way to get people with very challenging disabilities into the workforce, get them feeling good about their role in life, and most importantly, to earn some of their own money.

Some of our people thought they’d never have a job. They’ve never been able to fit in to the usual supported employment models for people with disabilities. We don’t have “too-hard baskets” at Branches.

Just like anyone else, the people we support want to have a valued role in their community, to contribute, and to have the opportunity to earn their own money.

Donate to Branches

In 2026 we are raising funds to purchase a coffee van for our clients to operate. Our aim is to use this as an outlet to upskill our clients and help them feel valued in their community
