About this opportunity

The Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI) and Enhanced Adult Community Living Supports (CLS) programs are NSW government funded initiatives that deliver specialist community based psychosocial support services for people aged 16 years and older, with serious mental illness.

HASI and CLS services are delivered in close partnership with Local Health Districts, with a focus on coordinated and integrated care. HASI and CLS offers people flexible hours and types of support to ensure that support meets a person's current needs and goals. All services are provided within the context of a recovery model and in a way that empowers individuals to live in the community with self-determination and independence. Importantly, services are also provided within the context of a rehabilitation model where people are supported to regain, keep, or improve skills that enable independent living. As such, HASI and CLS programs provide people with hands on, practical support in addition to facilitating and working with other supports.
