YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE
Supported living designed around everyday life.
Moving into Supported Independent Living should never feel like simply changing your address. It should feel like opening the door to the next chapter of your life.
At Finlayson Street, participants are supported to create a life that reflects who they are, what they enjoy and where they want to go. That might mean finding a first job, confidently catching public transport, discovering a love of cooking, joining a local gym, exploring Wollongong or inviting friends over on a Friday night.
These everyday moments build confidence, independence and a genuine sense of belonging. Located in one of NSW’s most vibrant coastal communities, Finlayson combines a welcoming home with the lifestyle opportunities that make Wollongong a great place to live.
Our experienced team takes the time to understand each participant’s goals, carefully matches compatible housemates and supports every person as they build the future they want.
Because home shouldn’t simply be somewhere you live. It should be somewhere you grow. Somewhere you’re known. Somewhere you belong.
