Imagine Independence

Who we are

Imagine Independence is a leading third sector organisation, passionate about supporting people with mental illness, neurodiversity, learning disabilities, and behaviours that challenge. We offer a wide range of services, including supported living, employment assistance, and social inclusion programs, all aimed at empowering individuals to achieve their personal goals and live as part of their communities. Our work challenges stigma and promotes well-being by recognising the uniqueness of each person and the value of small, meaningful steps. Our dedicated staff give their best every day, enabling the people we support to live enriched, fulfilled lives.

Our culture and values

Our purpose is to enrich the lives of people we support, ensuring they live fulfilling and rewarding lives. To achieve our purpose, we ensure the people we support are fully engaged in their care and support, as we believe they are best placed to advise on what support and services will make a positive difference to their lives. Socially inclusive practice alongside peer support are golden threads that run through all Imagine Independence’s services.
