Housing Assistance FCP can provide assistance for NDIS participants and advice based on years of experience in outreach, case management utilising our current housing networks to assist people in this way. FCP understands that NIDS funding does not cover housing and practical needs for many people with disabilities. We are happy to talk with you about this anytime using the contact section below.

Community

Community Projects and Partners Full Circle Projects are currently working on exciting new initiatives in Brisbane and Toowoomba to support youth, housing, domestic violence, and social enterprise. As a full DGR status registered charity, we may be able to assist participants where NDIS cannot.

Please contact FCP for more information.

Our Mission

To provide support to all people including youth, elderly, people with disability, those who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and any other culturally or linguistically diverse persons . To see individuals and families who are marginalised members of our community who experience exclusion, poverty, injustice and social isolation create self-sustaining and meaningful futures.

Our Values

Respect-In dealing with everyone. Each person has the right to be heard.
Integrity-In everything we do. We do what we say we will do.
Inclusion-We welcome diversity.
Collaboration-We seek innovation in our work. This means sharing of and acquiring knowledge through networks.

Reconciliation and Acknowledgement

Our vision for reconciliation is to support a diverse and cohesive community that welcomes all its members and recognises the value that each member brings.
We acknowledge the original ownership and custodianship of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their continuing cultures and the valuable contribution Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples make to our contemporary society.
We acknowledge the hurt, dislocation and disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples as a result of colonisation. We seek to help redress some of that disadvantage through our programs. We also acknowledge the advantages and benefits that can result from reconciliation, and how this can enhance our programs.
Full Circle Projects Inc acknowledges the Quandamooka people that live around Moreton Bay in South-eastern Queensland and the three distinct tribes, the Nunukul, the Goenpul and the Ngugi, people as the traditional owners of this land and their continuing connection to land and community. We also acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have come from other nations to live on Quandamooka land. We pay our respects to their cultures, ancestors and Elders past, present and future.

Our Indigenous Advancement Strategy

A new way of looking at Indigenous Advancement within the community services sector

The Australian Government has three priorities under the IAS to make sure efforts are effectively targeted:

Education for the future success of individuals, families and communities
Employment, economic development and social participation improve the lives of families and communities.
Health, safety, home and community is essential for families to thrive and reach their full potential.

At Full Circle Projects, we believe in an Indigenous Advancement Strategy that can be realised on a local level through the community services sector. Many community organisations utilise Reconciliation Actions Plans which in some ways, only act as window dressing, to look good...

Real action is in what you can do to support the advancement of Indigenous culture, business, ideas and incentives, staff, clients and the community, with the resources and influence you have.

How do we do it?

Education. FCP provides opportunities to staff and participants alike. We want to see our staff, support workers, and our clients succeed in the area they want to pursue.

Employment. FCP started in the disability support space from a need by community for culturally appropriate service within NDIS. As a result, we actively seek out Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and support their careers, training and ideas as a part of individual and service provider goals

Economic Development. FCP is always on the lookout for great new ideas and community incentives that support the protection of, and advancement of Indigenous culture

Social Participation. Social participation is a term used both by the IAS and NDIS that emphasises the point, to improve the lives of families and communities. As a disability service provider that is further detailed under the Human Rights Act; Sect 28.

1. Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold distinct cultural rights.

2. Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples must not be denied the right, with other members of their community(a) to enjoy, maintain, control, protect and develop their identity and cultural heritage, including their traditional knowledge, distinctive spiritual practices, observances, beliefs and teachings; and (b) to enjoy, maintain, control, protect and develop and use their language, including traditional cultural expression; and (c) to enjoy, maintain, control, protect and develop their kinship ties; and (d) to maintain and strengthen their distinctive spiritual, material and economic relationship with the land, territories, waters, coastal seas and other resources with which they have a connection under Aboriginal tradition or Island custom; and (e) to conserve and protect the environment and productive capacity of their land, territories, waters, coastal seas and other resources.

3. Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples have the right not to be subjected to forced assimilation or destruction of their culture.

Health, safety, home and community. Is essential for a service provider, it's staff, our participants and families to thrive and reach their full potential.

Where do you provide support?

Currently, FCP provides culturally appropriate NDIS support for Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Moreton By Shire Council catchment areas.

How often will you see me?

We will follow up with you every week. Or more often if there are concerns about your health and well-being. For NDIS clients, that will be as required by the parameters of your support package. Please call if you need to discuss this in more detail.

What about if I get a place to live?

FCP will continue to follow up with you once you have somewhere to live, to make sure you can sustain the tenancy until you're back on your feet. NDIS support will be ongoing for as long as you require.

Will FCP keep information about me?

Yes. It is important to gather information about your situation so that we can support you properly, and pass on our assessment to services such as the Dept Of Housing and Public Works for you to get somewhere to live. Information may be required to obtain items such as birth certificates, proof of age cards, medicare cards etc. FCP will only share what you give us consent to share.

Can I get someone form my culture to do my disability support?

Yes. We work hard to provide the best disability support workers that you want to work with as well. Who will understand you, your needs and situation well.
