SCROLL TO EXPLORE
Current capacity

Driven Support is intentionally beginning with a small participant caseload. We are currently welcoming referrals and expressions of interest for suitable self-managed and plan-managed participants.
Support that starts with the person
Who Driven Support may suit.
Participants are not defined only by disability, diagnosis or funding category. Sometimes the difference is not more support. It is finding the right support.

THE DRIVEN DIFFERENCE
What makes us different
Support doesn't need to feel
like a shift.
People engage differently when they're doing something that matters to them.
Driven Support starts with the participant rather than a preset activity list.
Cars might be one person's interest. Someone else might prefer walking, photography, gaming, technology, cafés, sport or simply getting out of the house somewhere they feel comfortable.
The activity is the vehicle. The goal is greater confidence, participation, independence and connection.
Our Approach
Small by design.
Driven Support is launching with a deliberately limited participant capacity. That means direct communication, consistent support, time to understand each participant and the ability to properly plan activities rather than running a high-volume support model.
Direct Communication
Participants, families and coordinators can communicate directly with Driven Support.
Individual Planning
Activities are planned around actual participant goals and preferences.
Quality Before Volume
We will only accept supports that we can safely and appropriately deliver.
Our services
What we provide.
1:1 Community Access
Support to get out, participate and stay connected. This can include appointments, shopping, cafés, errands, community activities and everyday outings.
Car Care & Fresh Air
A practical, low-pressure activity combining basic car care with outdoor time, routine, conversation and community participation.
- washing a vehicle
- basic cleaning/detailing
- checking simple non-safety-critical items
- going for a walk
- getting a coffee
- planning the next activity
Automotive Interest Days
For participants with a genuine interest in cars and motorsport, supports can include Cars & Coffee events, motorsport spectator days, vehicle displays, workshops and other automotive experiences.
Activities are individually assessed for suitability, accessibility, sensory requirements and safety.
Practical Life Skills
Build everyday confidence through real-world activities such as shopping, planning outings, budgeting practice, organisation and developing greater independence.
Confidence & Community Connection
Support to build routines, try new activities, increase social confidence and become more comfortable participating in the community.
Examples
How a session
could look.
Car Care & Fresh Air
Pick up → vehicle wash or simple car-care activity → coffee → short walk/outdoor activity → return home
Community Confidence
Pick up → shopping or errands → budgeting/planning activity → lunch or coffee → return home
Automotive Interest Day
Pick up → Cars & Coffee, motorsport event or automotive venue → planned breaks / quiet areas where required → meal or outdoor activity → return home
Every session is individualised. These are examples only.
Safety & Planning
Interest-led doesn't
mean unplanned.
For automotive, motorsport and outdoor activities, Driven Support considers the participant's individual needs alongside factors such as venue access, noise and sensory load, weather, crowds, transport, emergency exits, quiet spaces and alternative activities if plans change.
More complex or higher-risk activities are only considered where they fall within Driven Support's competency, insurance, participant consent and appropriate risk controls.

Why Driven Support exists
Driven by experience.
Driven Support was founded by Liam O'Connor after years of understanding firsthand how much responsibility, consistency and reliable support can matter within a family.
Growing up in Tasmania, Liam experienced family caring responsibilities from a young age while developing a strong passion for cars, motorsport, practical learning and community involvement.
After moving to Queensland and building a career around people, vehicles and relationship-focused work, Driven Support was created around a simple idea:
Good support should be reliable, individual and built around the person receiving it.

How support starts
Getting started is simple.
There is no pressure to have every answer before the first conversation.
Tell us what matters
Share participant interests, goals, support needs, preferred activities, days and location.
Make a ReferralSuitability conversation
We discuss interests, goals, support requirements, funding, transport, safety and service suitability.
Build the support plan
Agree on activities, support structure, pickup arrangements, goals, frequency, pricing and participant-paid costs.
Start with the first experience
Begin with a simple, suitable outing or support session, such as Cars & Coffee, Garage Skills or Trackside Learning.
Review and evolve
Review what worked, what was enjoyed, what should change and where to go next.
Driven Support is designed to evolve around the participant rather than locking people into a standard program.
Safe, planned & individualised
Support that leaves
room to adapt.
Every Driven Support session is planned around the individual participant.
Before activities, we consider sensory preferences, accessibility, transport, weather, venue conditions, crowd levels and the participant’s own support needs. Automotive and motorsport environments can sometimes involve noise, crowds or high levels of stimulation, so activities can be adapted, shortened or substituted with quieter alternatives where appropriate.
The goal is simple: create experiences that are enjoyable, meaningful and appropriate for the person being supported.
01
Sensory Awareness
Noise, crowds, stimulation and individual sensory preferences are considered before suitable activities are selected.
02
Activity Planning
Transport, accessibility, venue conditions and participant needs are considered before each activity.
03
Flexible Support
Activities can be adjusted, shortened or changed if circumstances or participant needs change.
04
Individual Choice
The participant remains at the centre of planning, with activities built around their interests, goals and comfort.

Read all FAQsAre you accepting new participants?
Yes, Driven Support is currently accepting a limited number of new participants subject to location, availability and support requirements.
Can I use my NDIS funding with Driven Support?
Driven Support currently works with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. As an unregistered provider, we do not currently provide supports funded through the NDIA-managed/agency-managed portion of a participant's plan. Participants should confirm that a proposed support is appropriate to their individual plan, goals and available funding.
Are there supports Driven Support doesn't currently provide?
Yes. Driven Support is initially focused on standard community participation, confidence building and practical capacity-building supports. We do not initially provide high-intensity personal care, Supported Independent Living (SIL), overnight support, regulated restrictive practices, specialist behaviour support, complex clinical or medication supports, participant track driving, performance-driver instruction or safety-critical mechanical work. Where a participant's needs sit outside our current scope, we will be upfront about that.
Can I enquire about Sunday support?
Yes. Expressions of interest for selected Sunday support are welcome, subject to launch timing, location, suitability and available capacity.
