Enliven Community helps people with disability explore independent living options.
What we do
We host workshops and information sessions for you and your support networks. Our aim is to give you information about various housing options so you can choose what’s right for you.
We also host a video podcast called ‘The Series’ where we share our thoughts and encourage conversations about housing options for people with disability. Watch our first few episodes to learn more.

Our strategic goals
How we can support people with disability
We support you and your support networks to:
• Understand your housing options.
• Help you act on opportunities so you can exercise choice and control over where you want to live.
• Help you work out the best living options for you. We consider location, style of property, amenity to services, transport connection and cost.
• Develop your skills to navigate the NDIS and secure your preferred living option.
• Identify the living options that align with your wants and needs.
• Understand which items SDA funds cover, and what they don’t.
• Identify which independent living options will provide the right level of support.
• Understand what responsibility falls to the tenant in an independent living option.
• Engage in conversations about risks, both real and perceived.
