Raising the Standard in Mental Health Support
At Riva Offices, we’re fortunate to work alongside businesses that make a real impact, and Urzi Supports is one of them. As a registered NDIS provider with a strong clinical foundation, Urzi Supports is known for delivering high-quality, person-centred mental health services across southeast Queensland.
From its early days as a psychology practice to becoming a trusted name in NDIS mental health support, the organisation has grown with purpose. With a team of qualified professionals and a hands-on, tailored approach, Urzi Supports is helping participants build resilience, independence, and long-term wellbeing. We caught up with Director, Dino Urzi, to learn more about the mission, values and vision behind the work.
For those who may not know, what is Urzi Supports?
Urzi Supports is a registered NDIS provider offering participants access to highly skilled and qualified mental health professionals including support workers, counsellors and psychologists. Led and directed by Dino and Marie Urzi, Urzi Supports has quickly become one of the preferred providers of mental health support in southeast QLD.

What services does Urzi Supports provide?
Urzi Supports offers support work, psychology, counselling and support coordination to all participants with a valid NDIS plan.
How did Urzi Supports get started, what inspired the creation?
Urzi Supports, formerly known as Urzi Psychology, was initially a private psychology practice founded by director and Clinical Psychologist, Dino Urzi. However, in 2019 Urzi Supports made the decision to enter the NDIS space and radically change the way mental health services were delivered. Fast forward to today and Dino and Marie have continued to work hard to revolutionise the delivery of mental health services in southeast QLD, resulting in Urzi Supports being known as a specialist in the mental health arena.
What makes Urzi Supports different from other providers?
What makes Urzi Supports unique is the strong mental health focus delivered through years of clinical knowledge and experience by the highly qualified team of professionals. All staff are supervised by a set of clinical supervisors to ensure a high calibre of service delivery. Additionally to this, Urzi Supports has a very hands on approach in matching clients and support staff.

What do you wish more people understood about mental health?
Urzi Supports is working hard to reduce the stigma associated with mental health. It is our aim to ensure that everyone we come into contact with, are aware that mental illness doesn't discriminate and can impact almost anyone. However, we also aim to educate people on the proactive steps we can all take to ensure maintain mental health.
What does “support” mean to you beyond the clinical or professional sense?
Support to us means working holistically with the whole person, not just selective parts of the individual. It means delivering services in a person-centred way to build capacity, autonomy and resilience. It means ensuring that we communicate with stakeholders to ensure the client benefits from the support they receive.
What’s next for Urzi Supports - are there any new services or projects you’re excited about?
Urzi Supports employs approximately 75 staff and supports almost 200 participants. We are excited about our partnership with QLD health and private health sectors as well as our most recent decision to expand our offerings to participants based in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
If Urzi Supports had a motto or quote that captures your mission, what would it be?
Our motto would be “Urzi Supports: Grounded in Evidence, Guided by You”
How long have you been with Riva Offices and what do you like the most about working at Riva?
Urzi Supports has been associated with Riva since its inception in 2023 at Bundall. We are excited to now be part of the Robina office. We love the elegant design of the Riva offices and the community created by the team.
What’s one piece of advice you’ve learned that might help someone who’s struggling with their mental health?
Our advice would always be to seek help, proactively from professionals. There is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, we believe it’s the strong thing anyone can do.
Urzi Supports is more than just a provider. They are a team grounded in clinical expertise and driven by genuine care. With a growing footprint and a commitment to a person-centred, stigma-free support, Dino, Marie and their dedicated staff are changing how mental health care is experienced and delivered in our communities.
We’re honoured to have Urzi Supports as part of the Riva Offices community, and we can’t wait to see what they do next!
