We want to maximise your independence. We’ve got 14 Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) houses across Melbourne that provide specialised support for adults with disability. Our residents are well matched, and share similar interests, with plenty opportunities to explore group activities while pursuing individual goals and lifestyles.
We also have a purpose-built home in Alphington that supports ten young people with high, complex medical and physical support needs as a results of significant acquired brain injury.
All houses are purpose built, offer single bedrooms and are modified for wheelchair access.
Experienced and caring staff provide 24-hour care with sleepover or active night support.
Call 1300 698 624 for more information.
COVID-19 update
Our Specialist Disability Accommodation is open to residents as usual. We are welcoming visitors again, but ask that people please prearrange their visits with VMCH staff and adhere to government restriction directives. Please do not visit if you are unwell, wear masks and face shields provided during your visit, and sign a health declaration form upon entry. Visits that have been agreed to must take place in your loved one’s bedroom and not in the communal areas.
