A goal, I am working towards is, being able to feel independent enough, to live with one other person of my choice. My Support Workers are helping me to achive this goal by assisting me with food shopping trips and helping me make dinner. Charlotte, Osborne Park Neighbourhood.

Personal appearance and hygiene can help boost your confidence and give you a sense of personal pride. Healthy personal hygiene is all about daily habits. Things such as showering, brushing teeth, using deodorant, getting dressed and combing hair, can make you feel happier, healthier and more confident. Your Support Staff can help you with your daily grooming and self-care.
Shopping is a great way to interact with your community, further your social skills and grow your independence. It also teaches you important life skills such as money handling or budgeting. Your Support Worker can work with you to plan your shopping lists and budgets, accompany you to the shops and help you get the things you need for your day-to-day life.
Learning how to manage your own money is very important for your financial independence. We can support you with setting up and navigating your bank account and services. We can also assist you with effective budgeting and money planning to enhance your financial security.
Do you have some chores at home? Let’s get them done together! Cleaning and maintaining your home can be hard work but our Support Workers are there to give you a hand. Washing, ironing, cleaning or gardening are some of the life skills we can help you to build. We can also provide support to run your home by making sure bills are paid on time, and helping you with home maintenance.
Knowing your way around nurtures your independence and gives you more opportunities for work or recreational activities. We help you to get familiar with different transport options so you can go wherever you feel like, whenever you feel like.
Hobbies are a huge part of a fulfilled lifestyle and something you might want to take up. Maybe you love fishing, playing board games, painting or enjoy spending time at the beach. Hobbies can also be a great way to meet other people and make friends while doing something you love. Let us know what you are passionate about and we can do it together.
Many of us like to spend time in our local communities. Whether we’re shopping, playing sport or just going for a walk, participating in the community shapes the way we live our life. As an active and engaged member of your local community you can develop connections, skills and a sense of belonging. Our Support Workers take your lead. They can assist one to one, take you to join others as part of a larger group or help you to pursue your passions in shared interest or hobby groups with like-minded people.
I recently started a new hobby – bike riding. I enjoy being outside exercising but it also teaches me about road rules and safety.
