About
Who are we.
Taking Steps is a mental health organisation committed to equipping people with the tools they need to live a life of their choice.
Taking Steps was founded in 2020 initially as a support coordination service specialising in supporting people living with psychosocial disabilities to navigate their NDIS plans and reach their goals. Since then, the Taking Steps team has expanded and now provides a range of mental health services and therapeutic interventions to support all members of the community.
