Affective Care was founded by a practising psychologist and a senior operator, which is why every plan starts with how a person thinks and lives, not just what tasks need doing.
Your support worker is matched to you, not just assigned to your suburb.
Shift notes feed back to a clinical team: psychologists, OTs, speech pathologists and behaviour support.
When something shifts a discharge, a new medication, a hard week, the plan adjusts before you have to ask.

Finding the right Supported Independent Living option is about more than a room. It’s about feeling safe, respected and supported in daily life. We focus on trust, emotional wellbeing, participant choice and practical day-to-day assistance.
Choosing a home is personal. We take time to understand:
Three steps from first enquiry to moving into the right home.
Ask about current SIL vacancies or arrange a tour of the Croydon Park home.
We understand your needs, goals, preferences and NDIS plan with you and your coordinator.
If the home suits, we confirm availability and support you through onboarding.
Affective Care welcomes enquiries from support coordinators, hospital teams, social workers, allied health professionals and families. Tell us about the participant and we’ll respond with next steps.
Include consent to discuss, preferred suburb, current living situation, support needs and NDIS plan details.
Staying close to familiar Inner West communities matters. We match a support worker to the person, not the suburb, and keep a clinical team behind every plan, so the home feels safe, warm and genuinely yours.
Refer with confidence. We assess suitability against goals, support needs, home environment, housemate compatibility, vacancy status and plan details, and respond quickly with clear next steps.
