Independence is about having the confidence and skills to navigate daily life with as much autonomy as possible. At Inclusion Services by the Y, we are committed to supporting individuals in building their independence through tailored services that focus on personal growth, community participation, and goal achievement. Here are five ways our services empower individuals to live more independently.

1. 1:1 Home Support – Learning Essential Life Skills

Maintaining a home and managing personal care are key aspects of independent living. Our 1:1 Home Support service helps individuals develop skills in cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene, as well as managing bills and budgeting. Whether it’s preparing a meal, keeping a tidy space, or managing self-care routines, our experienced support workers provide guidance and encouragement to build confidence in daily living tasks.

2. 1:1 Community Support – Safe and Confident Travel

Getting around safely is essential for independence. Our 1:1 Community Support service assists individuals in learning how to travel confidently, whether by public transport or with a driver. We can accompany you and provide guidance on route planning and transport timetables. We assist with safely navigating public spaces, ensuring individuals feel secure and empowered to attend appointments or visit places of interest.

3. 1:1 Community Support – Shopping with Independence

Making choices and managing purchases is a crucial life skill. Our 1:1 Community Support service also extends to shopping assistance, helping individuals identify what they need, select items, and manage transactions. Whether grocery shopping, buying clothing, or picking up essentials, our team supports decision-making and financial independence in a respectful and empowering way.

4. Social Support Groups – Connecting and Belonging

Staying socially connected is just as important as practical life skills. Our Social Support Groups provide a welcoming space for individuals to build relationships, participate in shared activities, and feel a sense of belonging. These groups focus on enhancing social skills, confidence, and community engagement, helping individuals develop the connections they need to thrive. Through our social interactions we can find a sense of belonging, improve wellbeing and build independence.

5. NDIS Support Coordination – Aligning Plans with Goals

Navigating the NDIS can be complex, but our Support Coordination service ensures individuals get the most from their plans. We work closely with participants to align their NDIS plans with their personal goals, ensuring they receive the right support to achieve greater independence. From connecting with service providers to understanding funding options, our coordinators are here to help every step of the way.

Supporting Your Journey to Independence

At the Y, we believe in empowering individuals to lead fulfilling, independent lives. Whether it’s through skill development at home, navigating the community, making informed choices while shopping, engaging in meaningful recreation, or maximising an NDIS plan, our dedicated team is here to support every step of the journey. We’ll work closely with you to ensure you have the support you need to live your best life.
