In-home support

In-Home Support helps people living with HIV who require intensive support to maintain their health and independence within a community setting.

Case management and attendant care

We provide case management and attendant care through the Disability Attendant Support Service Inc. These services are offered in our properties in the south-eastern and western suburbs of Melbourne.

In some cases, attendant care can be provided in your home. If you are eligible, you must be monitored by a service such as the Royal District Nursing Service.
