Welcome!
Who we are
At Xavier, we have a long and proud history supporting Brisbane families of children with complex disabilities and health needs. We recently reverted back to the name of Xavier (previously InFocus Disability Services) which better reflects our heritage.
We work with families to help them access the support and services they require to best meet the unique needs of their child living with complex health and disability needs. We help children and their families to live the best lives possible, as a family. We provide health supports such as nursing and allied health services through to supporting children in play and in their community giving them the opportunity to just be kids.
Our goal is to deliver the highest quality support and services to families who really need it. Families who are caring for children with complex disabilities and health needs, that require very tailored care. Our team exclusively specialise in meeting these complex needs and have decades of experience to draw upon. We work with families throughout the greater Brisbane region.
The Department of Social Services released a factsheet which outlines the changes that will happen to the way that the NDIS and health services work together.
Mindful in May is a growing social initiative. We discuss mindfulness and how it can help our families to reduce stress and anxiety and improve their own mental health.
At Xavier we recognise the amazing work that our nursing team do each and every day. As the world recently celebrated International Nurses Day, we had a chat to our very own Cherie about why she loves nursing.
In the new world of the NDIS there is a lot to learn and we understand that this can sometimes feel overwhelming. One area of confusion is in how plan management and support coordination work.
