Program information
Build your skills, confidence and community connections
We work in partnership with you to set goals that will support change and improve wellbeing across different areas of your life.
One of our support workers, a clinician, your family, and any other people that are important to you, can help to develop your support plan.
It’s based on your own unique needs, preferences and goals, and can include getting support for:
- Shopping, cooking, taking public transport and other daily activities
- Life skills, including looking after your finances
- Reminders about appointments, medication and other treatments
- Meeting people in your community and social activities
- Accessing education, training opportunities or finding a job
- Moving back home after a stay in hospital or prison
- Accessing drug and alcohol services, the National Insurance Disability Scheme (NDIS) or other support services.
This program does not provide social or community housing. Learn more about how to get assistance with housing.
As much support as you need
At times, you might feel that a couple of hours a week is enough, and other weeks you might find 5 hours a day is useful to you.
Am I eligible?
