Design and Development of the Choice Collective approach to sharing supports

Individualised Living Option

What is Choice Collective

Choice Collectives comprise members who live in the same property, to share the cost of paying for on-site support and other resources, helping everyone’s funding go further. Through the collective sharing resources, the Collective makes privacy, autonomy and independence more achievable for everyone.

Choice Collectives provide an opportunity for connection and collaboration, independence and inclusion. But most importantly, like all collectives, they are an opportunity for like-minded people to come together for the benefit of everybody.

In the past, when a person with disability moved into care (i.e. a group home) the person, their family and supporters lost a lot of power – they relinquished much of their decision making to the support provider.

Choice Collectives are not one-size-fits-all and are shaped by the people who live in the property, reflecting their interests, needs and wants.

Choice Collective Living is a great way to get the most from your NDIS Core Support budget because you have the opportunity to optimise shared support with other members of the Collective; who are like minded people, who live close by.
