A Purpose-Built High Physical Support Home Designed for Independence
11 Turkeybush Way is a thoughtfully designed Specialist Disability Accommodation home built under the High Physical Support design category. This single-storey residence has been designed from the ground up to support participants with higher physical support needs while still feeling like a comfortable and modern home.
The home supports two participants, each with their own private bedroom and ensuite, along with a dedicated Overnight On-Call room. The layout balances independence, privacy, and support, creating a space where participants can live confidently with support available when needed.
The Heart of the Home
Open, Functional and Easy to Move Through
At the centre of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This space connects naturally to the rest of the home and allows for easy movement throughout, supporting mobility equipment and day-to-day living.
The kitchen has been designed with accessibility in mind, including a height-adjustable benchtop, induction cooktop, and clear circulation space. This allows participants to be involved in everyday activities in a practical and comfortable way. A separate lounge area provides an additional space to relax or unwind, giving flexibility for shared or quiet time within the home.
Participant Bedrooms
Private, Spacious and Fully Supported
Each participant has their own dedicated bedroom with a private ensuite. These rooms are designed to support high physical needs while still feeling personal and comfortable.
Bedrooms include structural provision for ceiling hoists with a minimum 250 kg capacity, allowing for future installation and full-room coverage across the bed.
The ensuites are designed for accessibility, with step-free showers, appropriate circulation space, and compliant fixtures that support safe and easy use.
Kitchen, Bathrooms and Daily Living
Practical Design That Supports Everyday Life
The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry have all been designed to meet High Physical Support requirements. This includes wide clearances, accessible fixtures, and consistent positioning of switches and power points to make daily routines easier.
Slip-resistant flooring is used throughout key areas, and all internal pathways are step-free, supporting safe and smooth movement across the home. The design focuses on making everyday living more manageable without compromising comfort.
Overnight On-Call (OOA) Room
Support Close By When Needed
A dedicated OOA room is located within the home, allowing support staff to stay overnight when required. The layout keeps this space separate from participant areas, maintaining privacy while ensuring support is always nearby.
Outdoor Area
Safe, Accessible and Easy to Maintain
The home includes a covered verandah and outdoor areas that connect directly to internal living spaces. External pathways are designed with gentle gradients, step-free access, and slip-resistant finishes, making it easier to move safely from the street, driveway, and outdoor areas into the home.
The outdoor space is simple, functional, and easy to maintain, providing a comfortable environment without unnecessary complexity.
Accessibility and Design Features
Built for High Physical Support from the Start
This home has been designed to meet High Physical Support standards from the beginning. Features are integrated into the design rather than added later, creating a more natural and functional living environment.
The home includes wide doorways, step-free access throughout, reinforced walls for future supports, accessible bathrooms, and consistent fixture placement. High impact and durable materials are used throughout, supporting long-term use while maintaining a modern residential feel.
