Supporting people with disability to live a good life
There is no place like home – Everyone needs a place to call their own. A place where we can relax and unwind. Where we can make choices and gain a sense of independence. Or maybe a place where we feel part of a family.
At Essence Care Australia, we know there is no one size fits all and we can support you in finding a home that suits your individual needs so you can live as independently as possible. From assisting family and friends to help you stay in your family home, to moving into your own place, sharing with others or finding a Host Arrangement in Sydney region – our range of individualised living options means we’ll find the right solution for you.

A Host Arrangement is a living arrangement where a host welcomes you to live in their home. This can be full-time or short break (respite) basis. The host may be a single person, couple or family. Each Host Arrangement is unique, according to your and the host’s circumstances. But they all have one thing in common – They provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home environment for you and welcome you to become part of their lives.
Being a host is all about connecting with the person and making them part of your family and life. – Eleisha, Host Essence Care Australia
