ConnectAbility Australia offers a supported independent living solution that is so much more than accommodation, it’s about life and all that matters to you.

At ConnectAbility Australia our model ensures that people have choice and freedom in their lives whilst having the individualised assistance they need close at hand. Our supported independent living (SIL) accommodation models are tailored for the differing support needs of the residents.

The supports are designed and led by you and other important people in your life to make sure you get what you want out of life. 

Moving into a new home is exciting, but sometimes a daunting experience, both for the individual and those who are part of the person’s life, that’s why it’s important to choose a provider you can trust.
