Individual Support Packages provide a range of supports to people with disability, their families and carers to achieve personal dreams.

Support may include:

• Supporting the person in their home to enhance independence
• Access to essential aids and equipment
• Case management and program co-ordination
• Social and recreational participation in the community
• Spending time with friends and learning new skills in our Day Program, Futures or Community Education programs.

A planner works with the person with disability and their family and carers to explore informal, formal and specialised disability supports and develop a plan to meet the person’s individual needs.

Individual Support Packages include Support and Choice, Community Options and HomeFirst.

Individual Support Packages are funded by the Department of Human Services, for more information about these packages visit the Department of Human Services web site at http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/disability/ supports_for_people/living_in_my_home/individualised_support_packages
