Living Options

There comes a time in most young people’s lives of practical and social/emotional readiness to leave the family home and establish a flat or living arrangement. This seminar explores:

  • The four main living options including
    • Residential Care
    • Supported Living
    • Choice in Community Living
    • Family Governed Models
  • Broad information on eligibility criteria for these 4x options
    • What is included in each living model
    • Who are the providers of these various living models
    • The process for application and transition into a living model
    • Work and Income supports (based on eligibility)
