Trinity Disability Support Service (Trinity) is a community-based outreach service on the Gold Coast providing a range of support to adults living with an intellectual disability. We encourage our clients to live independently in the community.

What we do

Our experienced and qualified support staff focus on our clients’ strengths and individual needs. We work closely with them to identify goals and to develop the plans to achieve them. These plans are put into practice with the support of clients’ families and other care providers. We provide practical and flexible support to assist our clients to reach their goals. Our staff can also support clients during weekends and overnight stays, where funding is provided.

Individually tailored programs can include support for areas such as:

• communication, literacy and numeracy

• health, wellbeing and personal care

• finances

• social and interpersonal skills

• community involvement

• recreation and leisure

• behavior, and

• household and domestic skills.

Trinity provides support to our clients to:

• live in the community as independently as possible

• lead a fulfilling life

• make informed decisions

• gain and maintain valued social roles in the community

• enjoy the freedom of expression

• develop social skills, community contacts and relationships

• set life goals and make plans, and

• develop a sense of personal responsibility.
