Stories from our Community
Recep - Tenant
“It’s made me stronger because now I can be more independent. I feel better about myself. I’ve learnt how to cook and take care of myself — things my mum used to do for me. That feels really good.”
Cinzia - Tenant
“She can do more for herself now, make her own decisions, and not have to rely on family.”
JG Care - Partner
“Knowing that we’ve played a part in making people’s lives better is what motivates us every day.”
Cathy - Tenant
“Independence is possible. I would say that you need to research where you want to live, what or if you need extra services, and who you want to support you.”
Dr Mel Smith OAM
“I am looking forward to feeling safe in my environment with better supports in place.”
Chris - Tenant
“I have regular support workers, but on-site workers are there as an extra pair of hands for hoisting, showering, or for emergencies.”
Mark - Tenant
“I have staying power, I have gumption. I know my darkness and I know my light. And how I see it, from all the struggles I’ve made it through. It’s like my apartment and the personal space I now have is the reward.”
Jane Galvin - Participate OT
“For everyone I have worked with to move into a Guardian apartment, the availability of technology to suit their needs in every aspect of the dwelling, as well as the onsite support model has been life-changing.”
Anna - Tenant
“My life is so much better.” Anna had a long and gruelling journey to SDA housing but hers is a true success story.
