High Physical Support Living, Built Around Independence

Accessibility has been considered throughout the home, with step-free movement, generous circulation areas, accessible doorways and passages, future automation provisions and structural preparation for ceiling hoists in participant bedrooms.

Shared Living with Everyday Ease

• The open living and dining area creates a comfortable central space for everyday life.
• Positioned alongside the kitchen, it allows participants to relax, spend time together, welcome visitors or take part in household activities without unnecessary separation between spaces.
• Generous circulation has been incorporated into the living area to support wheelchair movement while keeping the room open and comfortable.
• The layout also creates a clear connection between the shared living spaces and the rest of the home, making day-to-day movement more straightforward.
• Dimmable lighting is included within living areas and bedrooms, while switches and power points are positioned at accessible and consistent heights to support easier everyday use.

Three Bedrooms Designed Around Participants

• The home provides three dedicated participant bedrooms, giving each resident a defined private space within the shared home.
• Each bedroom has been designed with appropriate circulation around the bed and access to built-in storage.
• The additional room around key areas makes wheelchair movement and personal routines easier.
• Participant bedrooms also include the structural and electrical preparation required for the future installation of constant-charge ceiling hoists. This provides flexibility for participants whose support requirements may include assisted transfers.
• Accessible power points and thoughtful positioning of controls further support participants in using their room as independently as possible.

Accessible Design for Daily Participation

• The kitchen connects directly with the living and dining area, creating a social and practical centre for the home.
• Its accessible configuration is designed to make everyday kitchen activities easier to participate in with: Generous movement space around benches and appliances, accessible work areas, controls positioned with reach in mind
• The kitchen includes features suited to High Physical Support living including: An accessible pantry, drawer-style dishwasher, accessible tapware, a height-adjustable benchtop
• Rather than separating participants from everyday household routines, the kitchen is designed to make involvement in cooking, preparation and shared meals more achievable.

Accessible Bathroom Design for Daily Routines

• The main accessible bathroom has been designed to provide the space needed for wheelchair movement, personal care and support assistance where required.
• An accessible toilet, shower and hand basin are arranged within the same bathroom, with circulation space around the key fixtures.
• The shower incorporates an accessible layout with adjustable shower fittings and lever-style controls.
• Bathroom walls include reinforcement that can support the installation of suitable grabrails and other accessibility fixtures where required.
• A separate powder room provides an additional toilet within the home, helping make shared living more practical for participants, visitors and support staff.

Overnight Support Close By

• A dedicated onsite overnight assistance (OOA) room provides a separate space for overnight support within the property.
• This allows support workers to remain close when overnight assistance is required without using one of the three participant bedrooms.
• Keeping the OOA area separate from participant sleeping spaces creates clearer boundaries between personal and support areas, helping participants maintain greater privacy within their own rooms while still having support available nearby.

Outdoor Space to Enjoy

• The rear living and dining area connects to an outdoor deck, providing an additional place to spend time outside or simply enjoy a change of setting.
• The surrounding outdoor area gives the home private open space without creating an overly complicated backyard environment.
• Accessible transitions and pathways support movement between the residence and external areas, helping participants make better use of both indoor and outdoor spaces as part of everyday life.
