Supported independent living

Whether you’re moving out of the family home or transitioning to community living from a hospital, health centre or other facility, we understand that home means much more than a roof over your head. It’s somewhere that’s safe and welcoming – a place where you are surrounded by people who you feel comfortable with and who support you well.

We offer a wide variety of supported living options to suit a range of people and circumstances. For those with complex needs, we have our own in-house behaviour support specialists who can work collaboratively with families, other providers and our own support workers to provide complete wrap-around care, tailored to individual goals.

Astrid prayed that her sister Ingrid would find a home that was safe and supportive. See how Centacare helped Ingrid find her forever home using a thorough assessment process to ensure each person’s care needs, personality and interests are carefully matched with their housemates.

Jim finds the kind of care that fits

Jim is a proud and capable man who gets satisfaction from the smaller things in life. When he was approved for the NDIS, his sister Karen helped him move into a share home where he’d have the opportunity to contribute to his own day-to-day care. He can make his own bed, assist with meal preparation and be part of household routines. These things give Jim an enormous amount of satisfaction and a sense of purpose, which contributes to his overall confidence.

Karen

Sister of one of our share house residents

"A couple of months ago I was referred to Centacare and things have moved at lightning speed. The team are very efficient. They asked us lots of questions about Jim’s goals and how he wanted to live and they kept us informed throughout the process. "

Home means much more than a roof over your head. Service Delivery Manager, Jodie, explains how Centacare helps people transition into supported independent living so they feel safe, welcomed and supported.

Who can get funding for Supported Independent Living?

The NDIS has published a useful Supported Independent Living Participant Information Pack, which includes detailed information on how SIL works.
