We’re often asked what it means when we say we are a NIISQ / TAC provider... so here’s a simple explanation 👇

NIISQ (National Injury Insurance Scheme Queensland) and TAC (Transport Accident Commission – Victoria) are government schemes that fund treatment, care and support for people who have suffered serious, life-changing injuries in motor vehicle accidents.

If a person qualifies, the scheme pays directly for medically necessary services such as rehabilitation, therapy, equipment and ongoing supports.

Importantly: patients are not expected to pay privately for approved services. We invoice the scheme directly once care is authorised.

Being a registered NIISQ/TAC provider means our team meets specific clinical, reporting and quality requirements to work with participants who need complex and long-term care.

If you, a family member or a patient you care for has been injured in a motor vehicle accident and you’re unsure what supports are available, you’re welcome to contact us and we can help point you in the right direction.

Community Access that Builds Independence

At Real Community Services, community access is about more than getting out of the house.

We support participants to connect with their community while working toward their individual goals. Each support is personalised and focused on developing independence, not reliance.

Through community access and assistance with daily living via NDIS, TAC and NIISQ, participants can:
• Build social and communication skills
• Learn to use public transport
• Develop daily living and money-handling skills
• Increase confidence in community environments
• Work toward volunteering, education or employment

Our support workers provide guidance and encouragement, then step back as capacity grows, because our goal is to empower people to live their best life.

FREE GROUP CATCH UPS SEQ

At Real Community Services, we believe that life should be bold, purposeful, and filled with connection. That’s why we’re thrilled to launch our social connection program designed to support NDIS Participants across South East Queensland to build real friendships, develop real skills, and achieve real outcomes.

Our Social program is the first to be rolled out for 2026. It’s not just about fun (although there’s plenty of that!); it’s about growing confidence, building lasting friendships, exploring the community, and smashing personal goals, all while having a blast with adventurous, group-based activities every month.

Community access isn’t always about where you go.
Sometimes it’s about who you’re with, the choices you’re supported to make and feeling like you belong.

Everyday moments like these build confidence and connection in ways that look different for everyone.

Over the long weekend one of our SIL groups came together to enjoy some delicious food and a few classic games including A String of Surprises, Chuck a Snag on the Barby and Land Your Thong in the Bucket. Plenty of laughs all around.

Real Community Services holds regular town halls where all stakeholders are invited; including participants, families, carers and staff.

These town halls aren’t just meetings, they’re opportunities to share ideas, provide feedback and collaboratively shape services. By bringing everyone together, RCS ensures that decisions reflect the needs, experiences, and perspectives of the entire community.

Engaging in open dialogue like this helps build trust, improve services, and foster a stronger, more connected community.

What Does Cultural Safety Look Like?

Cultural safety is about creating environments where people feel respected, understood and able to express their identity without fear of discrimination or judgement. In community and disability services, it ensures support truly meets each person’s needs.

What it looks like in practice

✔ People feel heard: Individuals can share their background, beliefs, and lived experiences, and those perspectives shape their support.

✔ Choice and voice matter: People make decisions for themselves, with options that reflect their cultural values.

✔ No assumptions or stereotypes: Bias is challenged and one-size-fits-all approaches are avoided.

✔ Services adapt: Communication, protocols, and engagement are flexible so everyone can participate.

✔ Trust is built: Consistency and openness help people feel safe and valued.

✔ Ongoing learning: Staff continue to reflect, learn, and grow in cultural awareness and humility.

Why it matters

When cultural safety is present, people feel a sense of belonging and are empowered to engage in services that support their identity and wellbeing.

Real Community Services remains committed to fostering culturally safe spaces for the people we support, their families, and their communities.
