About ASN
Artist Support Network (ASN) is a Melbourne-based support service delivered by professional artists and musicians with extensive experience in their craft.
We’re dedicated to improving quality of life by connecting NDIS participants with like-minded support workers who share their creative interests.
Alongside the usual day-to-day assistance offered by support providers, we focus on using each client’s passions and interests as a way to connect with their community and work towards their creative and personal goals.
Every client is thoughtfully matched with a professional creative and experienced support worker based on their needs, preferences, and goals.
We operate across the Melbourne region and selected parts of regional Victoria.
