Homelife Association Incorporated

Welcome to Homelife Association Incorporated, but we go by "Homelife" for short.

Our Mission

"Supporting people to be, to do and to belong"

Supporting people to Be: Independent. Supporting people to Do: the things that all other citizens have the right to do. Supporting people to Belong: to community.

Our Story

Homelife began in 1986 as the Co-operative On-going Experiences For the Disabled Ltd -
C.O.E.D. A living skills program. In 1987 some key members moved from Caboolture and the

living skills program disbanded.

In late 1990 some founding members of C.O.E.D and some new members got together and
reignited the COED. The name was changed to Co-operative On-going Experiences For People
with a Disability Ltd expressing the belief that people with a disability are people in their own

right who just happen to have a disability.

COED aimed to develop new services in areas of quality Respite (RESPOND) and
Accommodation (Homelife). The subcommittee for Accommodation followed the process for
incorporating the service and on the 14th September, 1992 Homelife was incorporated under

the Associations Incorporation Act 1981.

Not long after this in 1992 an Application for Funding of a New Service was submitted for four
people to be supported to live independently. One of those original people is still supported by

Homelife.

On the 7th January, the Department of Family Services and Aboriginal and Islander Affairs,
confirmed the application was successful and Homelife commenced providing services to 12

people from the Caboolture and Strathpine area.

A further submission was made to the Department of Family Services and Aboriginal Islander
Affairs in 1993. The submission was requesting additional funding to support more people.
From there we have evolved into the registered NDIS provider we are today.
