About Tardiss
OUR HISTORY
In 2010, before the establishment of the NDIA, a small group of passionate North Queenslanders came together to discuss how they could help people with a disability receive quality care. They were aware that participants and families were disappointed with being treated as 'just a number'. Their aim was to ensure the care receivers were placed at the center of all decisions, and that they were treated with dignity and respect.
The group decided the only way to achieve this objective was to establish an organisation where they could set the objectives, philosophy and ethics. Hence the birth of Townsville And Regional Disability Individualised Support Service or what was affectionately referred to as "TARDISS".
TARDISS was incorporated on 6 January 2011. Many hundreds of hours of volunteer work was put into setting up the framework, policies and procedures for TARDISS. It is through this invaluable support of volunteers in the management area that enabled the organisation to establish a good financial position.
TARDISS could not exist without the enormous contribution volunteers have, and continue to make, towards bettering the lives of people with a disability. Barry Moyle and Esma Wickham in particular as volunteers spent many years building TARDISS into a sustainable organisation ready for its next phase of existence.
As TARDISS grows, we continue to build our range of services and assets for our participants.
Participant Stories
“Terry has accomplished one of his larger goals of attending the first state of origin game in Brisbane with the support of the Tardiss team working with him. With the caring support team at Tardiss helping him work on his goals and maintain his independence, the family has seen a big change in Terry’s behaviours and how much happier his is."
