Living independently is about more than completing daily tasks — it’s about having the freedom and confidence to participate fully in life. At Easthaven, our NDIS community services are designed to help participants strengthen essential skills, connect with others, and enjoy greater control over their everyday routines.

Our community supports cover everything from assistance with daily living to travel, personal care, and recreation. Whether someone needs help around the house, guidance through a major life transition, or support to join local events, our team ensures each service aligns with the participant’s goals and lifestyle.

Assistance with daily living helps participants manage household activities such as cooking, cleaning, and self-care. Our qualified support workers promote independence while maintaining safety, dignity, and comfort. This hands-on help allows participants to build confidence in managing their own routines at home and in the community.

Travel and transport assistance ensures that every participant can stay mobile and engaged. We provide reliable, accessible transport for appointments, education, social outings, and community events — helping people stay connected with the world around them. For those who wish to learn to travel independently, our team offers travel training to build skills and confidence.

When major changes arise, life stage and transition support helps participants adapt smoothly. Easthaven guides individuals through milestones like leaving school, starting work, or moving to a new home. Our team assists with planning, coordination, and skill-building to ensure every transition is a positive step forward.

We also believe strongly in the power of community participation. Through social and recreational activities, participants can develop friendships, explore interests, and experience belonging. From art and cooking to sports and volunteering, each program encourages creativity, teamwork, and personal growth.

For participants who prefer or require help at home, in-home support provides personalised assistance in a familiar environment. This includes personal care, companionship, medication reminders, and flexible scheduling based on individual needs. Our approach is always respectful and tailored to preserve the participant’s independence and privacy.

What makes Easthaven’s community services unique is our person-centred philosophy. We listen carefully, design supports around individual strengths, and adapt as goals evolve. Every plan is shaped collaboratively — involving participants, families, and support coordinators to create consistency and trust.

The outcome is not just independence, but empowerment. Participants gain life skills, develop routines that work for them, and become more engaged members of their communities. Families and carers also benefit from peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are supported by compassionate professionals who genuinely care.

Easthaven’s local presence across Geelong and regional Victoria means we understand the communities we serve. Our services reflect local opportunities and resources, connecting participants to real experiences and lasting relationships.
