About True Diversity

At True Diversity, we understand that everyone is different, and that's what drives us. Every person we support brings their own strengths and unique qualities, and we're proud to walk alongside them as they lead the way in their own lives.

As a registered NDIS service provider, we focus on understanding each participant, listening to what matters most, and providing support that feels personal, flexible and respectful.

We're proud to support NDIS participants across the Greater Ipswich and Springfield areas, building meaningful connections and fostering inclusion in everything we do.

Our Mission: To provide personalised, compassionate, and flexible support that champions choice, dignity, and independence. Empowering individuals to take the lead in their own lives and build a future that reflects who they are.

Our Vision: Our vision is a world where everyone — no matter who they are or what they need — feels valued and empowered. At True Diversity, we want to build a community where individuality isn't just welcomed, it's something to be celebrated.

If you share our passion for inclusion, respect and person-centred care, we'd love for you to join our team.
