Finalist Details
Purple Support's Cultural Connect model successfully combines Supported Independent Living (SIL) with cultural and community connections in customised suburban homes across Darwin. Most Participants are Indigenous, so retaining strong cultural connection is critical and is an important tool and key incentive to build greater independence and improve capacity.
Each participant's home has holistic support system features to promote cultural empowerment, offering customised plans for capacity-building, including skills development, social, physical and emotional wellbeing and culture-based activities. Participants and their families are actively involved, contributing to household tasks and personalising their homes.
