Mind Australia provides a number of high-quality Housing with support services for people with significant mental health and wellbeing challenges to find help, hope and purpose in their lives.
Housing with support refers to residences where people with significant mental health and wellbeing challenges can live independently while receiving support from qualified mental health workers - typically funded by the NDIS. Residents learn life skills, like confidence and connection with others, to help build a healthy lifestyle.
Mind’s Housing with support services include:
- Psychosocial residential rehabilitation - 24/7 support for people with psychosocial disability in a community environment.
- The Haven Foundation - integrated social housing and support - 24/7 support for people with psychosocial disability, with a strong focus on family and carer engagement and community connection.
- Support for people with complex needs - 24/7 support for people who have high level support needs across many areas of their life including assistance with mental health and wellbeing.
Mind’s Housing with support services are designed for people whose capacity to live independently is impacted by long-term mental ill-health.
Applicants must be between 18-64 years of age, have an NDIS package to fund housing support and have the financial means to pay for rent/board and utilities. Applicants should be looking for a place suitable for someone with significant mental health and wellbeing concerns.
In most cases, residents fund their Housing with support service via their NDIS package. Residents with NDIS Flexible Core packages that feature funding for Activities of Daily Living, or Supported Independent Living, typically choose help with:
· decision making, daily planning and budgeting
· building skills for shopping and cooking for healthy eating
· written communication and filling in forms
· learning to maintain a household with tasks such as laundry and cleaning
· developing and maintaining connections with family and friends
· getting ready for the day and other personal care tasks.
We have been providing mental health and wellbeing support to people, and their families, friends and carers, for more than 45 years. Every individual's journey to a life of meaning and purpose is unique, which is why our services are flexible and offer genuine choice and control.
We work with residents and their families, friends and carers to build a high quality, program of support tailored to their unique needs and NDIS plan goals. Our qualified staff work in partnership with residents and their family, friends and carers to strengthen personal skills and build independence.
We promote a sense of community in our housing services to encourage residents to share and support each other, including taking part in group activities.
Some of our Housing staff are peer workers - people with lived experience of mental ill-health. Our peer workers lead skills-based peer learning workshops with residents among other work.
