Dream Maker Community Services

About Dream Maker Community Services

Dream Maker Community Services is a registered NDIS provider with its head office in Pendle Hill, in Western Sydney. Pendle Hill is the head office address the NDIS Commission's register holds for it. The legal entity is Dream Maker Community Services Pty Ltd, an Australian private company (ABN 18 637 732 319) with its main business location in NSW 2145, active since November 2019.

Its website describes a focus on Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), with homes in Rooty Hill, Leumeah and Oran Park. SDA is the funding for the home itself and is not one of the registration groups the register holds for this ABN, so it is not listed below as a registered service.

The website also lists a Melbourne office. This listing covers the Pendle Hill head office that the register records.

Services Dream Maker Community Services provides

The Commission holds fourteen registration groups for this ABN. The six services below are the ones Dream Maker's own website names as supports it delivers, each matched to the registration group that covers it.

• Supported Independent Living (SIL) — daily support in the provider's homes in Rooty Hill, Leumeah and Oran Park
• Assistance with personal activities — in-home personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, plus meal preparation (see registration conditions below)
• Life skills development — building skills for independent living such as cooking, cleaning, shopping and using public transport; the site also describes day programs for adults and youth
• Household tasks — cleaning, laundry and other help around the home
• Community participation — support to take part in social, recreational and community activities, with a support worker alongside when needed
• Assistance with travel and transport — accompanied travel and transport to work, appointments and social events

The register also holds eight further groups for this ABN that the website does not describe as services: Innovative Community Participation, Daily Tasks/Shared Living, Exercise Physiology & Personal Training, Group/Centre Activities, Community Nursing Care, Assist — Access/Maintain Employment, Specialised Supported Employment, and Assist Personal Activities (High Intensity). If you need one of these, ask Dream Maker directly whether they currently deliver it.

Registration conditions

Two conditions are recorded on this provider's registration by the Commission. They are reproduced below as the register records them, with the web address in the first shown as a link:

1. “A condition has been imposed, for providers of 0107 Assistance with daily personal activities, for risk assessment of participants who choose to be supported by a single worker:” ndiscommission.gov.au/providers/providers-assistance-daily

2. “A condition is imposed for assessment of the remaining elements of the Certification audit to be undertaken as part of the mid-term audit no later than 18 months after registration.”

The first requires a risk assessment when a participant chooses to be supported by a single worker for daily personal activities; the second sets when the rest of the provider's certification audit is assessed. The Commission's page for Dream Maker Community Services holds the current version.

What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider

For SIL, ask which homes currently have vacancies, who the other residents are, and how the support roster works. Where a home is also SDA, remember that the home and the support are separate arrangements and separate parts of an NDIS plan.

Ask which of your supports they can deliver in your area, and how soon. Registration shows what a provider is permitted to deliver. It does not tell you whether they have capacity for it this month.

For a registered provider, complaints can also go to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

NDIS supports in Western Sydney

Pendle Hill is in the Cumberland local government area, in the Western Sydney NDIS service district. Dream Maker's website places its SIL homes in Rooty Hill, Leumeah and Oran Park, so ask the team which locations currently have places.

Comparing a few providers is worth the time, particularly for SIL, where the individual house and staff team matter as much as the organisation.
