Home and living doesn’t have to look like the same old routine. The routine that involves a revolving door of support workers coming and going at times that suit them. The system in which your days are driven by rosters, personal care, mealtimes and brief periods of community access.

While some people thrive in this environment, there are people with disabilities who want more. What does that more look like?

Innovative home and living looks like:

• community access happening at any time of day or night, not just between 9am - 3pm

• taking risks to try new activities that others might not have let you try, such as canoeing, cooking on a hot stove, or speaking to new people

• going out at night and staying until you are ready to go home, rather than leaving halfway through so that you can be in bed before the 10pm awake time rate commences

• having friends and community beyond family and paid supports

• being actively supported to maintain relationships with family, friends and other important people in your life

• Summer of Speedway, Mission Red Centre Nats, Tour de SuperCars, and so much more

• genuinely limitless opportunities within the bounds of the law.

Lots of people talk this talk. But we consistently walk it.
