Belonging, Empowerment. Growth.

Greater Geelong's Trusted Ability Support & Respite Services

Life is Worth Living...

With our respite and support services

Here at Life is Worth Living we believe in a holistic and passionate approach that focusses on ‘ability’ rather than ‘disability’. Through this fundamental difference, we are consistently empowering our clients and leading the industry towards a mindset of ability support services.

Our services include respite, peer mentoring and 1:1 support work – primarily in community access. Our mission is to provide a high quality, personalised service that is tailored to support individual needs both at home and in the community. To leave a lasting impact by developing transferrable skills, and connection to the community

Belonging

We aim to provide those we support with a sense of connection and belonging with our Life Is Worth Living team at The Nest, and the broader community.

Empowerment

Our Team encourages people we support to express aspirations through enabling individual choice. With a strengths-based approach, we facilitate positive outcomes.

Growth

We believe building a compatible and trust-based relationship is foundational in promoting future growth and successful outcomes.

How we can support you:

Our team provides support with integrity, honesty, and transparency.

We prioritise finding the best match between our staff and those we support to maintain a consistent support network.

We provide a nurturing environment from The Nest for both our staff and the people using our services, resulting in the benefits gained through continuity of care and high staff retention.

What people think about us:

"I went to Bendigo, where I tried lots of new things, and I remember I took myself around the Holden Museum without any help. Your service is absolutely great. I go to many new places by myself now. The Respite and time at The Nest helped me get ready to move out of home. The Life is Worth Living staff are absolutely great and friendly. I would recommend them to anybody."

GeoffreyPerson we Support

"Highly recommended! Heather and her team have been very caring and having recently ensured that my partner Eileen, who has Alzhiemer's Disease, can get to her group, which is quite a distance away, on Mondays and Fridays. She comes home quite animated after singing to her favourite music on her way home. She also has a great day with carer's Mel and occasionally Dot during in-home respite on Wednesdays. They're great and keep her entertained with games and outings. It's so very important to me that Eileen enjoys her time with carers so I can have a break. Heather's team definitely provides that."
