Hi, I'm Sue

I have worked in disability, childcare and community welfare for over 30 years. I started Sue Cares in 2017.

I care for children and adults with high and complex needs. My small team and I make sure every person feels safe, valued and cared for. Everyone is treated with dignity and kindness.

Support is built around the person. We are respectful, flexible and reliable, and we encourage independence.

Who I support

Children and adults with high and complex care needs. This includes:

  • PEG and PEJ feeding (syringe, gravity and pump)
  • Seizure and epilepsy care
  • Palliative care
  • Hoist transfers (ceiling and mobile)
  • Wheelchair users
  • Communication needs
  • Continence and personal care
  • Positive behaviour support
  • Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)
  • Autism
  • Intellectual disability

Not sure if Sue Cares is the right fit? Send me a message and ask.
