Independent Living

Huon Disability Network

Do you have a child who is interested in living independently?
Are you not in a hurry?
Do you like to live in the Huon?

We have formed a group of interested families, we have identified each needs and interests and are now talking to interested stakeholders to take this project further. This is the early stage of a longer process to develop housing for young people with a disability in the Huon.

Oak-Possability

Operating in Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, we have been a leader in disability services for 30 years.

We also offer support services to children in Out of Home Care who have complex needs.

We support people with disability to exercise choice, live with dignity and increase independence while:

  • Getting involved in their local community
  • Pursuing personal interests
  • Building relationships with others
  • Developing healthy lifestyles by being mentally and physically active
  • Maximising independence in household and daily activities such as shopping, preparing meals or paying bills.

We are committed to enriching people’s quality of life and supporting skill development.

We provide flexible, consistent and reliable support services that are responsive to the individual’s needs and express wishes.

The Li-Ve Tasmania philosophy is one which places the person at the centre of our organisation. Within all of our service divisions we strive to maximise the quality of life enjoyed by every person. Li-Ve Tasmania offers a range of services tailored to meet the diverse and changing needs of people and their families. Li-Ve Tasmania continually seeks to not only ensure the health and wellbeing of people, but is also dedicated to ensure that each individual achieves their full potential. An inclusive environment engaging not only the person, but also family and friends are recognised as an integral aspect of person centered development. Li-Ve Tasmania currently has 80 people in nine properties and services located across the greater Hobart area. Our services include a combination of accommodation, day support in-home support and respite services. Each person prepares an annual Personal Plan, in conjunction with Support Staff and Advocates. Here they express their goals and aspirations for the coming 12 months. It is then the role of staff to assist them within the available resources. People are involved in a variety of day time activities. Many have employment with organisations such as Oak Enterprises and Plane Tree Studios whilst others have retired. Others may be participants in Community Access Services provided by this or other organisations.
