Disability Support
We support people to live independently within the community through supported accommodation or their own property.
To access accommodation and community access support, participants require funding through NDIS or NIISQ. NDIS provides supported accommodation (SIL) funding packages that meet individual needs. Accommodation support can be on a 1:1 basis or shared support (1:2). The NDIS or NIISQ determines this level of support.

The quality of life that our participants receive is a critical element of our care model. Therefore, we place importance on ensuring they have ample opportunity to participate regularly in community activities.
We provide our participants with assistance in accessing education and training programs, day programs, and paid work for those eligible.
Our community participation initiatives also enable them to participate in shopping outings, sporting clubs, regular visits with friends and family as well as cinema and amusement venue visits.
Full supervision of clients on community participation is provided by our support staff if required.
