Recovery support

We administer a small number of funded support packages for people with disabilities. This means that we employ support workers who assist people with their day to day living needs and with finding entry points to their local community.

Support is given primarily to people with psychiatric disability, but we do support people who experience multiple disabilities.

Our aim with recovery support is to:

• assist people to access meaningful learning opportunities
• increase opportunities for people to participate in vocational opportunities
• assist people to gain access to high quality medical care and nutrition
• increase people’s access to safe, secure accommodation
• increase people’s financial security
• increase people’s participation with others
• ultimately reduce a person’s dependence on A Place to Belong.

Who uses this service?

People with psychiatric and possibly other disabilities who have been allocated support funding from government are eligible for this service. We currently support four people who have packages. We deliberately keep this a small part of our work so we can do a good job with a small number of people.

We are not looking to expand quickly in this area of our work.
