How we can support you
A full range of supports, in plain English.
Mix and match the supports that suit your life. Not sure where to start? We'll help you work it out.
Supported Independent Living
Can you help me live more independently?
- What it is
- Supported Independent Living (SIL) is funded support with everyday tasks in a shared or individual home.
- Who it might help
- People who want their own space, their own routines, and some support to make that work day to day.
- What it could look like
- Help with cooking dinner, getting ready in the morning, or having someone around overnight, so home feels comfortable rather than complicated.
- Why it matters
- So you can live where and how you choose, with people around you who genuinely have your back.
In-Home Supports
Can you help me at home?
- What it is
- A helping hand at home: personal care, daily routines, cooking, cleaning, and the everyday things that make life easier.
- Who it might help
- People who are happy at home already, but want reliable support with parts of the day that feel harder to manage alone.
- What it could look like
- A support worker joining you for a few hours a week to cook together, tidy up, or simply keep you company while you get things done.
- Why it matters
- So the everyday stuff doesn't have to be a source of stress.
Day Supports
What happens at the Day Support Centre?
- What it is
- Structured, social days at our Day Support Centre: activities, friendship, and hands-on skill building in a space people genuinely enjoy.
- Who it might help
- People who want regular social connection, a bit of structure, and something to look forward to during the week.
- What it could look like
- A mix of group activities, hands-on skills, and plenty of time to just be social with people you get to know well.
- Why it matters
- Real connection and structure, without it ever feeling clinical.
Community Participation
Can you help me get out and do things in the community?
- What it is
- Outings, events, hobbies and activities that get you out and connected with the people and places you enjoy.
- Who it might help
- People who want more of their week spent out and about, not just at home.
- What it could look like
- A regular outing to a game, a class, a café catch-up, or exploring somewhere new, with support alongside you the whole way.
- Why it matters
- Because a good life is one lived out in the world, not just looked after from the sidelines.
Life Skills Development
Can you help me build everyday skills?
- What it is
- Practical skills built at your own pace: budgeting, cooking, getting around, technology, and the confidence that comes with all of it.
- Who it might help
- People working toward something specific: more independence at home, catching the bus solo, or managing money with confidence.
- What it could look like
- Practising a route together until you're confident doing it alone, or working through a weekly budget side by side, one step at a time.
- Why it matters
- Skills you build stick around. This is support aimed at you needing less support over time, if that's what you want.
Respite Support
Can my family and I both get a bit of a break?
- What it is
- Short-term, flexible support that gives you a change of pace and gives family or carers some proper time to recharge.
- Who it might help
- Participants who'd enjoy a short break in a different setting, and families who need planned time off to rest.
- What it could look like
- A short stay or a series of supported days, arranged around what actually works for your family.
- Why it matters
- A break everyone can feel good about, planned ahead rather than scrambled together in a crisis.
