What is this workshop about?

In this workshop you'll learn about individualised living and the innovative ways people with disability have created their own home, while getting the support they need. 

Home is a vital part of our lives. It not only gives us security, privacy, comfort and control but it reflects our identity, our adulthood and our deep sense of who we are and how we connect and belong in our neighbourhood and communities.

Yet for many people with disability, 'home' is designed and controlled by others.

This workshop will help you find alternatives to traditional supported accommodation and help you think, plan and implement individualised living and a good life for a person with disability.

Guest Speaker

Julianne Menzies (pictured right) has devoted her time to defining and refining what her daughter's Good Life can be. Julianne's daughter, Jessica (left) has an intellectual disability. She lives in her own home in the community she chooses with the support of a housemate. Julianne will provide insight into her decision to support Jessica's choice of where to live and who with.
