How we can support you

Community Access

Community Access can be a chance for you to get out and enjoy some social interaction, or you may want to do some shopping, go to the movies, visit the library… anything that involves going out into your community.

Discover the Real Living Options Difference

You tell us who you want to support you

At Real Living Options we try and match people by age, gender and interests based on the feedback and requests we get from each Participant. It's important that you enjoy the company of the person who is assisting and supporting you and look forward to seeing them. Depending on your needs and funding we will create a team to support you so you have consistency of support. If you don't like somebody you just need to let us know and we will do our best to find somebody more suitable.

We are a family service

Real Living Options was started over 25 years ago by the families of people who have a disability. Our Values and Mission are family based, and we welcome the involvement of families and extended networks when supporting Participants.
