Will I be able to choose/bring my own supports?
Yes. You will have choice and control to select your planned, or rostered supports which include day-to-day, regular, and consistent tasks.
Our onsite shared supports run alongside your individual scheduled supports. Advanced Quality Care can provide both your onsite shared support and individual scheduled supports if you like, or you can keep them separate. The choice is yours!

Your COmmunity
How do we find the right residents to join your onsite shared support community?
Advanced Quality Care will work closely with Disability Housing Australia to fill vacancies and ensure the right tenants are offered an apartment.
We want to build a community of people who:
Love their own space but work well with others in the apartment community
Want to take a more active role in managing their supports
Have a good idea about how they want to live
Enjoy living in a building that is designed to be environmentally sustainable and foster a great community spirit.
Here is an example of how you can share your supports and collaborate:
You and a fellow tenant, Jim, both apply to live in the apartments.
You both agree to contribute $1365 per week to receive onsite shared support, understanding this will include both Scheduled and unscheduled support.
You and Jim only require sleepover support.
You and Jim also have a budget for core or scheduled supports of four hours each day in your respective plans.
You and Jim decide it is much easier for you both to have someone available 24/7 and collaborate with their provider to use their 4 hours each to fill the rest of the unmanned onsite shared support hours.
You and Jim now have someone available on site 24/7 with ample funds remaining for community participation (CP) or extra staff for 2:1 supports.
