Life stages & transitions

A change in where you live, learn or spend your day can bring a lot to organise. We help you consider the practical steps and support involved in a transition, keeping your preferences central. Our service area covers Greater Melbourne, Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham and Geelong.

Support for your everyday life

Make your next step feel more manageable. Practical planning and support when a change in life brings new routines and support needs.

  • Planning the change

    Breaking a transition into practical tasks, priorities and questions to work through.

  • Preparing for conversations

    Helping you organise the information and preferences you want to share with the people involved.

  • Connecting the practical arrangements

    With your consent, communicating about agreed support tasks and responsibilities during the transition.

  • Getting familiar with a new routine

    Preparing for everyday steps in a new living or learning environment, including activities and travel needs.

  • Checking how the change is going

    Discussing what is working after the transition and identifying remaining practical support needs.

We agree on the activities, suitability and scope with you before support begins.

A personal approach to your support

AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

You might be preparing to move to a different home. Support could help you make a list of the routines you want to keep, identify who needs to know about the move and plan the practical assistance you will need while settling in.

Support shaped around you

The right support begins with understanding your goals, the things that matter to you and how you prefer to be supported.

Preparing for a change

You are moving towards a new living, learning or daily environment and want help working out the next steps.

Keeping support connected

You want to clarify who is involved and what needs to be arranged as your circumstances change.

Settling into a new routine

You would like practical assistance to get familiar with a new setting and explain your preferences.

The change and its timing

Tell us what is changing, any known dates and the parts of the transition that concern you most.

Agree on who is involved

You choose the people who may join the discussion and consent to relevant information being shared.

A defined support role

We clarify the transition tasks, responsibilities and period of assistance alongside any existing services.

Making support work for you

We discuss the details together, so you know what to expect before you decide.

Funding and costs

Life transition assistance needs to fit your disability-related support needs and NDIS plan. We discuss the particular change and the practical support requested before confirming funding arrangements.

The agreed service scope sets out the tasks and period of assistance. Ordinary costs associated with moving, education or daily living are considered separately from disability support costs.

Before you decide, we explain your service agreement, how to request changes and how to give feedback.

We support people across Greater Melbourne, including Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham, Point Cook, Werribee, Tarneit and Truganina, as well as Geelong. Tell us your suburb so we can confirm local availability.

YOUR NEXT STEP

How do I get started?

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share your goals, suburb and preferred way to contact you. You can involve someone you trust.

  2. Agree on the details

    Together, we confirm suitable support, available times, funding and costs. We explain the service agreement before you decide.

  3. Start with a clear plan

    Once you agree, we arrange the first visit and explain how to ask questions, give feedback or change your support.

You can contact us yourself, or ask a family member, carer or support coordinator to help. An enquiry does not book a service.
