Overview
Sylvanvale Limited is an award winning, not-for-profit service provider that supports over 750 people with disability. We pride ourselves on assisting individuals, from a range of diverse cultural backgrounds, to live and participate in their community as they choose.
Our services are provided at sites across Greater Sydney including the Blue Mountains and now the Central Coast.
About the service: The Individual Apartment Living service is an identified area for growth at Sylvanvale and this model of support currently includes 3 existing locations in the St George and Sutherland Shire areas. Our brand new Gosford location will be opening in November.
Gosford will have its own Individual Apartment Living team which will provide 24/7 drop-in support to twenty individuals with a disability, living in their own apartments, in the same residential unit block. To support the tenants to live independently, we partner with disability housing providers who ensure the tenants are supplied with the required Assistive Technology and Sylvanvale provides the tenants with the requested level of support through our cutting-edge service.
