Who we are

We provide specialised, person-first support for individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), Autism Spectrum Disorder and Psychosocial illness & Disability. Inspired by our own family’s lived experience, we understand the need for consistent, compassionate care that truly fits. We do things differently—because our clients deserve more than awareness; they deserve tailored, informed support that empowers real lives.

Our Values

Tree rings connecting to tree roots

Support That Strengthens

We believe in lifting people up—not doing things for them, but with them. Our role is to empower individuals to live on their own terms, with support that builds confidence, skills, and self-direction. We celebrate autonomy, progress, and the small wins that lead to meaningful change.

Knowledge with Heart

We provide specialised support. We understand the difference having specific, educated support workers make on individuals and families. We’re committed to being informed, ongoing learners—because this is a field that needs more attention, more honesty, and more care. We combine training, lived experience, and compassion to walk alongside our clients with respect.

Care, for you

No two people are the same, and neither is our support. We take the time to truly get to know each individual—what brings them joy, what gets in the way, and what they want their life to look like. Our support is tailored, flexible, and built around your goals, not a one-size-fits-all model.

Our Story

From our family, to yours.

Foundations Support Services began with family.

When a family member was diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), we came face to face with just how overlooked and misunderstood FASD is in Australia. The experience of diagnosis was long, filled with confusion, stigma, and barriers. Once the diagnosis came, the next challenge began: finding the right kind of support.

We saw first-hand how many services weren’t equipped to understand our experience, let alone work with us in a way that felt informed, respectful, and empowering. So, as a family, we decided to do something about it.

Born from lived experience, Foundations Support Services was created to fill the gaps we saw. We’re not a generic provider—we’re a family of carers, advocates, and support workers who know what it means to navigate this journey. Our approach is guided by empathy, consistency, and real understanding of the everyday challenges and unique strengths of people with accessing help.

We’re here to offer more than just services—we’re here to walk alongside you with care that’s tailored, informed, and built on trust. Because everyone deserves support that is Grounded in care.
