The YMCS difference

Support works best when it’s built on a genuine connection.

One of the biggest challenges in disability support is inconsistency. Different faces every week disrupts routines and weakens trust. We do things differently.

01

The same mate, every time

We carefully match you with support workers who suit your goals, culture, interests and communication style, and we keep those relationships long-term.

02

We know the NDIS

We understand how plans work and how to make your funding work for you, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

03

People, not numbers

Clear communication, reliable support and a team that always shows up with respect and compassion.

Abi, founder of Your Mate Community Services
Our story

It all starts with a mate.

YMCS was founded in 2023 by Abishek (Abi). Through years in the disability sector, Abi saw a pattern: people received funding and plans, but were still left feeling unsupported because of high staff turnover, poor communication and transactional care.

He created YMCS to break that cycle, with a simple vision: to be a provider that treats people like people.
