Supported living - Creating a home of one's own with self directed support

If your family does not yet have a satisfactory solution for long term accommodation for your disabled family member then this is worth a read and some serious consideration.

In Control Australia and Family Advocacy have scheduled  two valuable meetings on this very important subject - full details are contained in the attached brochure along with booking forms.   

The first event, on 9 August, is hosted by In Control Australia and showcases Homes West, Brisbane and My Place, Perth, two services that support people with disability in homes of their own with a combination of formal and informal support.

The second event on 10 August is hosted by Family Advocacy and is a unique opportunity to participate in a conversation around some key considerations when thinking about supported living possibilities.

 Both events will be of interest to families, services and government representatives and will focus on what it takes to achieve similar outcomes for people with disability in NSW.

Registration details are included on the fliers.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
