Local Team

Our management, clinical, rostering and frontline teams all sit in Cairns, so a roster change or an urgent referral is handled locally rather than interstate.

Fast Response

We have accepted last-minute referrals, including participants needing accommodation the same week, subject to assessment and compatibility.

Participant Focus

We match people to the right property, the right housemates and the right workers rather than filling whichever bed is empty.

Cairns service area

Support delivered from our Parramatta Park base across the whole of Cairns.

Cairns is where our properties, our vehicles and most of our workforce are. That means we can usually start a conversation about availability the same day, get a Support Coordinator an answer quickly, and have someone from our team meet a participant in person rather than over a video call.
