Supported Independent living:

Wunya provides a range of Supported Independent Living services so that people with disability have choice and control of their lives and can participate in their community.

What is Supported Independent Living?

• Supported Independent Living is one type of support to help you live in your home.
• It includes help or supervision with daily tasks, like personal care or cooking meals. It helps you live as independently as possible while building your skills.

Who is it for?

• Supported Independent Living is for people with higher support needs, who need some level of help at home all the time.
• This means you need a significant amount of help throughout the day, 7 days a week. This includes overnight support.
• We work with people to understand their housing needs and any support or specialist requirements to help people live the life they want to live.

Where are these services?

• Wunya operates Supported Independent Living services in Darwin, Greater Darwin and Alice Springs.
• The Supported Independent Living services are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by highly skilled staff to provide quality care and support.
• The focus of our Supported Independent Living services is to meet the goals and aspirations of each person, with an emphasis on giving people greater choice, control and independence.
• We can provide different levels of support to meet the needs of each person, including semi-independent living where support might include personal care, preparing meals, skills training, garden maintenance or helping to access the local community..
