Tandem is a primary provider of respite, personal care and social support to more than 600 children,young people and adults with disabilities, people living with mental illness, frail older people, and their families and carers living in the ACT community.
We offer flexible and ongoing services to meet the individual needs of our clients both within the home and the wider community.
This support is provided using carefully selected support workers and volunteers who are matched to meet the needs of individuals and their families when and where they need it most at any time of the day, or any day of the week.
Tandem is committed to encouraging clients and families to develop and maintain independence and growth through innovative and tailored support services. To achieve this we are working towards embedding the philosophies and frameworks of strengths based practice and Social Role Valorisation into all programs.
Tandem receives funding from Home and Community Care (HACC), Community Services Directorate ACT and ACT Health and The Department of Veterans Affairs to provide support that assists our clients to remain in their own homes and be included in the community.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform the lives of people with a disability, their families and carers in this country.
In June, the NDIS held a forum Canberra. It was targeted at people with a disability, their families and carers but was open to all Australians who support the campaign for a NDIS.The forum will report back on the draft report of the productivity commission inquiry in to a disability life time care and support scheme. The forum discussed how we together can build a campaign in our community to make the dream of an NDIS a reality.
