Hi! I am currently looking for a supportive housemate to move out with into a 2-3 bedroom place in the eastern suburbs. I’m open to team-ups. Please note: my profile is managed by my Support Team Lead - Oscar.

A supportive housemate is someone that lives with and provides informal support to a person with a disability. In return, they receive a weekly payment that covers rent and utilities (and possibly more, the figure is negotiable). Informal support refers to general companionship activities like getting a coffee, having meals together, watching a movie etc. This helps with living independently. You are not a formal carer or support worker and experience with disability is not necessary to be a good supportive housemate!

About me: I’m easy to get along with and love to hang out and chat, but I’m also comfortable being by myself. I’m good at keeping the house clean. I’m into gaming, TV/movies, sports (I play basketball on weekends) and I like cooking. I’m currently working part-time in hospitality.

About you: you’re a chill person who’s happy to be a companion as well as a housemate, and you help in keeping communal areas clean. Basically, you’re up for occasional chats and hang outs!

Please note, any supportive housemate arrangement requires the housemate to complete a police check and a National Disability Insurance Scheme orientation module.
