Life is Worth Living is a Geelong-based local family business, dedicated to providing Respite, Overnight Support, Peer Support, and Community Connection services.

Our flexible approach allows us to cater to individual needs, wants, and interests, encouraging freedom and choice. The Life is Worth Living team is a diverse group of individuals, some with lived experiences and all with a passion for helping others achieve a life worth living. Our team includes those with physical disabilities and others who have faced mental health challenges.

Our team members come from various career backgrounds, including a chef, personal trainer, photographer, and professor, contributing to the broad skill set we offer. All staff live in the region and have extensive knowledge of community spaces, local events, activities, and Geelong’s hidden treasures. This enables us to work effectively with the diverse community we support, showing a high level of understanding and accommodating the unique care needs and interests of the individuals using our service.

We strive to achieve plan and therapy-based goals in everyday living environments. Teamwork is vital to us, and we support forming therapeutic partnerships to assist people constructively under professional guidance.

To overcome the barriers of remote work, our team members use a professional platform to communicate within individual care teams, ensuring confidential, consistent, and high-quality ongoing care.

All our services can be tailored to meet people’s requirements, needs, and preferences. Our staff follow the guidance of care team professionals and work within this structure to deliver a therapeutic-based unified approach.

Our policies and prices are based on the NDIS pricing arrangement for self and plan-managed individuals. The Nest has some accessibility modifications, making it suitable for program use and respite. However, due to stairs, it cannot offer fully accessible accommodation.
