ABOUT

Hi, my name is Jacobus and I am the owner/service provider of Acorn Disability Services. Originally from South Africa, I have a passion for people, meeting individuals and getting to know them. My extensive client services experience will ensure that only the very best care is provided.

Acorn Disability Services is an owner operated support provider, ensuring client centered service. I operate on a one to one basis, with no middle man. Your contact person at Acorn Disability Services is the person who will be providing care, book appointments, provide assistance and who will be there each step of the way, based on the care required.

Acorn Disability Services offers assistance to Plan Managed and Private managed participants.

Areas serviced are Toowoomba, Gatton, Oakey, Dalby, Pittsworth and all surrounding areas.

We proudly support all members of the community, including the LGBTQIA+ community.

Rates charged are in line with the current NDIS pricing guide, ensuring fair fee management. Each client will receive a Service Agreement and Schedule of support, as well as a Participant Handbook. An invoice is provided after each shift.

I am available for any morning, afternoon, evening, late night shifts or even sleepovers if required. I also operate on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. Please call, send an email or use the message facility at the bottom of the web page, and I will get back to you.

James
NDIS Participant

I am happy that I have signed on with Acorn. Jacobus has proven that he cares about his clients and we could not have been happier with the help provided.
Kevin
NDIS Participant

Jacobus makes all our lives easier, not just our sons. He is gentle & kindhearted who shows he really cares. He is happy to engage with our son in all aspects of daily living and has enabled him to become more independent. Jacobus is very good at negotiating and persuading, resulting in our son performing many activities he would otherwise not participate in. He maintains a calm yet directive attitude that helps our son transition from one activity to another. Always prompt and reliable.
