We are a values-focused organisation, who put the people we support first. Established in 1982 by a group of local parents who wanted respite and accommodation for their now adult children, we have expanded exponentially because our participants love our services.
At Community Living Options we are dedicated to providing an inclusive environment where people are valued and supported. We welcome participants with lived experience, all abilities, cultural background, gender, sexuality, age and spirituality.
Join a passionate team where we empower individuals to live their best lives by supporting their dreams, choices and individuality.
About Me
I am a 40-year-old man with an Acquired Brain Injury and Anxiety, and I am looking for friendly support workers who can help me work toward my NDIS goals. I love going to the beach to surf and swim and I'd like support to get there but you don't need to come in the water with me. I enjoy hiking and would like someone who's happy to support me in getting outdoors and staying active. I attend my local church and would like help to keep being involved in my community. I'm looking for Support Workers who are understanding, supportive and comfortable joining me in the activities I enjoy.
