Inspiring Success Stories
“Reece’s Journey of Confidence & Connection”
Reece was very antsy about grooming and more community going out at one of our SIL homes. Through work with a support worker trust was achieved. A simple yet empowering gesture: the support worker and Reece got matching hair-cuts. By doing so, trust, dignity and self-esteem were created. Result? Reece is now able to socialize, and carry himself in a confident manner, and his family observes how he has progressed. Mosaic Community Care
This is a tale of how little by little, person-centred support has transformed lives and fostered greater levels of independence, identity and belonging.
From Hospital to Home Independence

For those in Perth, these transitions help them move from restrictive places with limited quality of life into environments. Where they can learn to live independently and make meaningful choices in the community.
Developing Life Skills and Community Participation
The wider SIL support approach also includes life-skills training including cooking, managing money, social inclusion and personal care. First, this shows how the team teaches members cooking skills, trains them in safe food practices, and assists them in transitioning to community activities. Rise
At PDS we customize these plans, maps that encourage self reliance so a safe home is no longer just having a roof overhead, but living with purpose.
The Importance of SIL + Community Support in Perth
Houses built to purpose & mobility: The environment that’s right for you — ramps, wide doorways, assistive technology – really makes a difference. Perth Disability Services+1
CHOICE & Control: SIL gives participants the power to choose where they live, what support and services they receive, and how they want to be involved in the community.
Community integration in the broadest sense: living in shared or individual homes and joining with others for local activities, friendships — all of it is core.
Local WA context: In WA, housing options, provider networks and local community supports are changing rapidly. PDS is well positioned here.
Life skills + empowerment: Whether it’s cooking a meal, budgeting, socialising or self-care, capacity building is key.
