Empowered Community Services was founded by Jonathon Power in 2017. Inspired by his own experiences supporting both parents who have lifelong disabilities, Jonathon became a Disability Support Worker. After working in the industry for several years, Jonathon felt that individuals with complex needs were not receiving the necessary support to be included in the community – here, the idea for Empowered was born.

Our Focus Is On People
People may have some differences, but they are just like us. Like our Participants, our staff are diverse, and each has their own interests and backgrounds, enabling us to provide the best and most appropriate staff to assist our Participants in reaching their goals and aspirations.
All of our staff are trained to national standards and complete our own in-house training. Staff are trained on a variety of different topics, including disability awareness, mental health, and disability inclusion.
We aim to put our Participants at the heart of the decision-making process throughout their time at Empowered. By including our Participants in the decision-making process, we aim to exercise their choice and control over their desired service. Services ensure that each Participant is an active and belonging member of their community and enable them to contribute in some way, shape or form.
Since the beginning of Empowered, we have always promoted real-world experiences that enable Participants to share ordinary places. We understand that our Participants are more than Participants. They are people, each with their own story and background. One of the great things about our Support Workers is they get to discover those stories!
