Supporting people to be, to do, to belong

Homelife is a community organisation based at Caboolture that supports the inclusion of people with a disability in the life of the community.

The support provided to people is delivered through one of the 4 separate initiates managed by the Homelife governance board and the Homelife Leadership Team.

Each initiative has been created in response to the needs of local people with a disability.

Homelife Lifestyle Services
Homelife Lifestyle Service was established in 1992. It supports adults with a disability to live in housing of their choosing and to achieve the ordinary and extraordinary goals that make up a “good life”. Support can be provided in the following ways: personal care, household management, budgeting and shopping, transport and travelling, accessing education and employment, exploring and participating in leisure options, civic involvement and developing and maintaining friendships. Each adult is assisted by their own key worker and a team of lifestyle support workers. Lifestyle plans are reviewed regularly to ensure support is person-centred and community connected.
