Support that gets into Inner West terraces and share houses
Registered NDIS provider in the Inner West
Ahsan Care is a registered NDIS provider delivering support across the Inner West, including Marrickville, Newtown, Leichhardt, Balmain, Ashfield and Dulwich Hill: assistance with personal activities, household tasks, social and community participation, and nursing care. This part of Sydney is old and tightly packed, built around narrow terraces, warehouse conversions and share houses long before off-street parking existed, so getting a worker to your door takes real planning. It's also one of Sydney's most diverse, close-knit communities, and support here is matched to fit that.

Getting in the door, and getting it right once you're there
The Inner West is one of Sydney's oldest, most tightly packed council areas, and it shows the moment a worker needs to park. Marrickville and Newtown are rows of narrow-fronted Victorian terraces with no driveway, on one-way streets where permit parking fills by mid-morning. Leichhardt mixes the same terraces with old factories converted into warehouse apartments, Balmain sits on a harbour peninsula laid out before anyone owned a car, and Ashfield and Dulwich Hill add federation semis and share houses. Four different front doors within a few kilometres of each other.
Most providers quote a postcode and sort out the practical side on the day. We ask about the building before confirming a booking: permit parking or nothing at all, a narrow side passage, a warehouse conversion with an intercom, or a share house splitting the bond. That detail goes into the worker's notes before the first visit, not worked out on the footpath while your funded hours run. Where we can, we roster workers who already know a Marrickville side street or a Balmain lane.
The Inner West is also one of Sydney's most diverse, close-knit communities, and that matters as much as the parking does. Newtown has long been one of the country's most visibly LGBTQIA+ friendly areas, Marrickville and Ashfield are home to long-established Vietnamese, Greek and Chinese communities, and Leichhardt is still known as Sydney's Italian quarter around Norton Street. We match workers by language, gender, cultural background and routine, bring in professional interpreters for anything written or formal, and never rely on a child to interpret.
Across the Inner West
From Balmain's harbour streets to Ashfield and Dulwich Hill
Inner West Council runs from the harbour at Balmain and Birchgrove, through Leichhardt and Lilyfield, down through Newtown, Stanmore, Petersham and Summer Hill, out to Ashfield and Dulwich Hill, with the Cooks River marking its southern edge near Marrickville. It's one of Sydney's smallest council areas by size and one of the most densely populated, laid out for foot traffic long before cars came along.
That density shapes how we roster. A morning visit in Ashfield and an afternoon one in Balmain cover two different building types and parking rules in the same day, so we build in real travel time rather than assume a short distance means a quick trip. We favour workers comfortable on foot, on the light rail or hunting for a permit bay.
What we do
NDIS services we provide across Inner West
Here's how each of our four services plays out in a Marrickville terrace, a Leichhardt warehouse conversion, a Balmain cottage or an Ashfield share house.
Assistance with personal activities in Inner West
Personal care runs to a routine, so a worker needs to know how to reach your home before the visit starts, whether that's a Newtown terrace with a narrow side path or a share house room down the back. Sorting that out in advance keeps the visit focused on you.
Explore personal activitiesHousehold tasks in Inner West
A household task looks different in a Marrickville warehouse conversion with a shared laundry than in an Ashfield semi with a tiny backyard, so support fits the home you're in. In a share house, we stick to your room and your things, working around housemates and house rules.
Explore household tasksSocial and community participation in Inner West
Getting out in the Inner West usually means King Street in Newtown, Norton Street in Leichhardt or Darling Street in Balmain, rather than a long drive. We build real time into the visit for one-way streets and permit zones, so you're not rushed getting there.
Explore participation and communityNursing care in Inner West
Our registered nurses provide wound care, medication support, continence support and complex care planning at home, coordinated around appointments at hospitals like RPA in Camperdown, close to Newtown. With so many walk-up flats nearby, we confirm entry details ahead so a clinical visit isn't delayed at the door.

More than access
We sort the access, and we get the fit right too
Plenty of providers send whoever's rostered on and let them work out the rest on the doorstep. We ask about parking, stairs and access before confirming a booking, and where we can, put a worker on the job who already knows a Newtown one-way street or a Leichhardt terrace. In a council this tightly built, that's the difference between starting on time and circling for somewhere to park.
We also match on language, gender, cultural background and the routine you keep, not just who's free that day. For anything written or formal we bring in a professional interpreter and never rely on family, and never a child, to interpret. The Inner West is home to long-established communities from all over the world and a strong LGBTQIA+ presence around Newtown, and support here should fit whoever you are.

Funding and cost
What NDIS support costs in Inner West
Pricing follows the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, so what you're quoted in Marrickville or Balmain is the same rate structure used anywhere else in Sydney, not an inner-city premium. Quotes are free and fixed in writing before anything is booked, with no call-out fee, whether you're in a Newtown terrace or a Dulwich Hill share house.
We support participants who are plan-managed, self-managed or NDIA-managed, where the item allows, and confirm which applies to you on the first call. However your plan is managed, the process for booking support across the Inner West stays the same.

How quickly can support start in a suburb like Marrickville or Newtown?

There's nowhere to park near my Inner West terrace, does that matter?
It's the rule rather than the exception here, so we plan for it. We ask about permit zones, one-way streets and driveways before the first visit and try to roster a worker who already knows the area.
I live in a share house in Newtown or Marrickville, can you still support me?
Yes. Plenty of participants we support in the Inner West live in a share house rather than on their own, and support is scoped to your room, working around housemates and house rules.
Does Ahsan Care support LGBTQIA+ participants and culturally diverse households around Newtown and Ashfield?
Yes. We match workers by language, gender, cultural background and routine, and use professional interpreters for anything formal rather than relying on family, to fit the area's diversity.
