As a NDIS provider, our vision is to provide high-quality support services and accommodation to enable people to live independent lives in a friendly, inclusive society of high living standards.

SIL (Supported Independent Living)

SIL is one of our primary services. It is a process of assisting those in need of support in areas of daily living such as hygiene, preparing meals, house maintenance, and managing medicines. SIL allows support to be provided to enable one to become independent, support varying on need or desire of the individual. Whether one requires around-the-clock support or a few hours of support per week, we work to provide support given to enable one to meet one’s objectives, become independent, and become more active in the community.

MTA (Medium Term Accommodation)

MTA is for individuals in need of short to medium-term accommodation until a more permanent accommodation is found. It is a short-term response with all of the benefits of a support community, in which one is in a position to receive support and care one requires in order to move to a more permanent home in a more secure position. Individuals receive a secure, comfortable place to stay until a more permanent housing option is found.

STA (Short Term Accommodation

STA is a provision for those that would require short-term accommodation for a short period of time, be it short-term treatment or urgent treatment, or a period of rest. STA permits participants to enjoy a support living condition for a short period of time whilst their welfare and safety is catered to. STA also brings relief that is of paramount importance to carers that require a break in their caring role in the knowledge that their loved one is in a position of good care.

Respite

Our respite services give a break to carers and their family that they so desperately require in the knowledge that their loved one is in a position of good care and is receiving the treatment required of their condition. Respite can be given in short periods of time to enable carers to recharge whilst participants continue to enjoy quality treatment. The service is a vital one that sees participants and their family’s welfare catered to.

All of these services cater to people’s needs to give you freedom and support to live to your potential in Mundingburra. You would require needing long-term care, respite accommodation, or a caring break, and you can be helped to live a productive, independent, and integrated existence in society.

What is Supported Independent Living?

SIL services enable to strike a balance of support and independence to enable a person to live safely and in comfort, support adapted to their unique needs.

The aim of SIL is to enable a personalized living arrangement that permits one to gain more control of one’s life. This is done by support in day-to-day living such as showering, grooming, and dressing; in home responsibilities such as housekeeping, shopping, and food preparation; in managing medicine and medical procedures; and in social engagement and social interaction. SIL also seeks to develop life skills that enable more independence and social interaction.

SIL services are tailored to each participant and range between support in occasional situations to around-the-clock support, depending on one’s needs and objectives. The providers of SIL work towards constructing a support plan that addresses the extent of care and training to enable one to achieve one’s objectives. The services are given in a person-centered approach, that is, there is a concentration of helping to facilitate one’s goals and decisions, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
