How we'll support daily life
Support setup, Staff, and Certifications
Shared living - You live with a few other people with disability in a shared, or modern-day group home, with your own bedroom, shared living spaces, and support available as part of everyday life. Support workers are available across the day and often overnight.
On-site shared support (24/7) - You live in your own home or apartment, with support available in the building day and night. Support is shared, so you can have your own space and privacy, with a disability support worker available when you need them.
Our skills and experience
Our highly trained team support people with a wide range of needs, including physical, neurological, cognitive, and mental health needs, as well as more complex health support requirements such as High Intensity Daily Personal Activities (HIDPA).
Life Without Barriers’ disability support staff and house supervisors are trained in safe transfers and mobility support; personal care, medication administration; mealtime management; assistive technology and equipment such as hoists where needed; and in implementing positive behaviour support (PBS) and allied health plans.
Every day we support people with different needs, from day-to-day support through to more coordinated support involving families, allied health professionals, and support coordinators.
