Fun & Games
Are you looking for a chess partner? Need a player 2 to your player 1? We have you covered! When you choose a Like Family support worker who aligns with your personality and interests, you'll basically be partnered with a new best friend who is just as eager as you are to do the things you're interested in doing. These arrangements are what sets Like Family apart, often resulting in long-term friendships that go beyond our support services.
Arts & Crafts
Have an arts and crafts project you want to try? Our support workers can set up and participate in a wide range of creative activities that allow you to have fun and express yourself however you want.
Household tasks
Sometimes you just need an extra helping hand around the house, and our support workers can handle anything you need them to do. Laundry, meal prep, gardening, cleaning - you name it. Our support workers can provide the exact amount of assistance you want, helping where it counts while leaving room for you to exercise and build your independence.
Health & wellbeing
While our support services are strictly non-medical, our support workers can still help members manage their general health and wellbeing. Whether it's working towards a healthier diet, support during exercise, or simply taking some time to meditate in the backyard, our support workers can help you work towards your goals.
Meal prep & groceries
Need a hand with the grocery shopping or preparing meals? Our support workers can accompany you to the supermarket, help you prepare meals, and ensure that you pick up skills you can work on and improve long after they've said goodbye for the day.
Skills training
Learning and self-development are crucial activities in any lifestyle, and our support services cover this area for our members. Our support workers can help facilitate and guide skills training for members, enabling them to reach their goals while having fun in the process.
Event buddy
Go to the events you want with a trustworthy companion by your side every step of the way. With Like Family, it's easy to find a support worker who's eager to tag along with you to whatever event you have in mind.

Our support services also cover outdoor activities ranging from simple bush walks to full-fledged weekend camping trips. No matter what kind of adventure you have in mind, our support workers are more than happy to help you make it happen.
Transportation
Need a lift to an appointment? Or to the movies? Many of our Social Carers would be happy to give you a ride. We make sure they have a valid driver's licence, proof of vehicle registration and an insured car before providing transport assistance on our platform.
Online support
Even though lockdowns are over, we want to ensure our community can still access support in a safe way. That's why we're continuing to offer video and phone bookings. You can use online bookings to get help with homework, play games, exercise, or just have a casual chat.
