The Disability Trust operates seven group homes in the Illawarra, with another two in Campbelltown.

These homes cater for adults with intellectual disabilities, with up to five residents in each home. They provide a reassuring option for families facing the often traumatic decision on the best on-going care for a family member with a disability.

Trained staff provide 24-hour support and ensure the residents live in a safe, happy and home-like environment.

Many of the residents leave the home on a daily basis to attend vocational or recreational activities.

Residents participate in domestic duties such as meal preparation, and social activities.

The NSW Department of Human Services: Ageing, Disability and Home Care pays for staffing and some running costs, while residents contribute 75% of their pension to cover their board and lodging.
