Who you'd live with
Housemates
The program is recovery-focused and would be suitable for a female participant aged between 30–60 years old. The house is staffed at a 1:3 ratio with a sleepover, and the ideal housemate would have mild-moderate support needs for daily living skills and accessing the community.
The current tenants love spending time socialising, entertaining and participating in activities such as:
- Group outings to the beach and park
- Lunch or dinner at the local club, listening to music and having a dance
- Shopping
- Arts and crafts
