Project Independence Enabling independence for people with intellectual disabilities through secure, affordable housing.

Project Independence is an innovative housing solution for people with an intellectual disability. We prepare and empower people to achieve truly independent living within PI and in the broader community. We provide a pathway to home ownership, allowing residents to gradually build equity in a property, using their Disability Support Pension. Since its inception in 2014 Project Independence has built 30 homes, with new developments underway in capital cities across Australia.

For many of us, carrying a house key is something we hardly think about. But for a person with intellectual disability, it can represent so much more: independence, freedom, dignity and a place to call home.

This Christmas, help Project Independence create pathways to home ownership and give the gift of independence — a gift that lasts a lifetime. 🗝️

🎁 Some gifts last a moment. Others change a life.

Donate today and help unlock independence this Christmas. ❤️

We asked our residents; What is your favourite thing about living at Project Independence?

For some, it's the independence to live life on their own terms.

For others, it's friendships, community and the feeling of being part of a family.

At Project Independence, we see firsthand the incredible dedication of carers — family, friends, and loved ones — who give their time, energy, and heart to support people with disabilities. 💙

Your care helps our residents live with independence, dignity, and confidence. Every small act, every thoughtful gesture, makes a meaningful difference.

This week, we honour you — our community of carers — and thank you for your compassion, resilience, and unwavering support. Together, we are building a more inclusive, empowering community. 🌟

Together, we thrive. 💚

This World Mental Health Day, we’re reflecting on the power of connection, belonging and community in helping people feel safe, supported and valued.

At Project Independence, having a home is about more than having a roof over your head. It’s about creating a place where people with intellectual disabilities can build routines, relationships, confidence and a genuine sense of belonging.

Because when people have the opportunity to feel connected and included, we can all thrive together.

Today, take a moment to check in with someone, start a conversation, share a kind word or make space for connection.

And if you can, support our work to create more pathways to home ownership for people with intellectual disabilities.

✨Flashback Friday: Independence Illuminated 2026 ✨

A few months on, we’re still smiling about such a memorable evening.

From heartfelt stories and incredible generosity to a room full of people united by a shared vision, Independence Illuminated was a beautiful celebration of independence, inclusion and belonging.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it an evening to remember. 💙

💙 There’s more to know.

At Project Independence, we know there’s always more to know about a person.

This Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the knowledge, skills, interests, experiences and contributions of people with Down syndrome.

It’s about looking beyond assumptions and taking the time to get to know the person — listening to their ideas, recognising their strengths and including them in conversations and decisions that affect their lives.

When we do this, we can help build more inclusive communities where everyone is valued, heard, connected and has the opportunity to participate and thrive.

What makes a house feel like home? The people you share it with. 💙

Good food, great company, and a special celebration! 🎉🍽️

Recently, our residents enjoyed a buffet dinner to celebrate a birthday, with plenty of delicious food, laughter and good conversation.

At Project Independence, outings like these are about more than enjoying a meal. They’re opportunities to strengthen friendships, build connections and be part of the wider community.

We love seeing our residents getting out, spending time together and celebrating life’s special moments! 💙
