A Purpose-Built High Physical Support Home

6 Kilpatrick Street, Berrimah is a purpose-built Specialist Disability Accommodation home in the High Physical Support design category, certified at the final as-built stage, with three participant bedrooms and a separate onsite overnight assistance room.

The single-storey home is planned for participants who need a higher level of accessibility and support, while still wanting a home that feels calm, private and easy to live in. The layout includes three participant bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, an open kitchen, dining and living area, a laundry, a separate WC, internal storage, a garage, a portico entry and a covered patio.

Wide circulation spaces, step-free access, accessible wet areas, a participant-friendly kitchen, emergency power provision, assistive technology readiness and ceiling hoist provision are all part of the design.

Open Living with Practical Accessibility

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the centre of the home. It connects to the participant bedrooms, laundry, entry, garage and patio, so the house feels connected without the shared spaces feeling crowded. The living area sits beside the patio for an easy indoor and outdoor connection.

The kitchen sits beside the dining area and close to the main living space, so participants can stay involved in meals and household routines. It includes clearances in front of benches and appliances, accessible bench space, suitable tapware, task lighting, a drawer-style dishwasher, wheelchair-accessible pantry provision and slip-resistant flooring.

Private Bedrooms, Each with an Ensuite

Each of the three participant bedrooms is a proper private room with its own ensuite. The bedrooms are designed for a queen bed with circulation space around it, robes, power points, accessible door circulation and future ceiling hoist provision, which matters for participants who use mobility equipment or need support with transfers.

Accessible Bathrooms

The ensuites include accessible sanitary facilities, compliant shower circulation, slip-resistant flooring, lever or sensor-style tapware and wall reinforcement for future fittings, planned as part of the original design rather than added later. They support safe movement, easier transfers and respectful day-to-day personal care.

Onsite Overnight Assistance Room

The OOA room, with its own ensuite, sits beside the main living area and patio, apart from the three participant bedrooms. Support is close by overnight while residents keep their privacy.

Covered Outdoor Living

A covered patio sits directly off the living area, giving residents a comfortable outdoor space for relaxing, visitors or quiet time, and one that is easy to reach.
