Curraghmore

Creating belonging and building community

Supported independent living (SIL) for people living with mental health challenges

Curraghmore is a large and beautifully designed supported independent living property located in Devonport, North West Tasmania.  It provides a safe, supportive and restorative environment for people who live with mental health challenges.

Residents living at Curraghmore have NDIS funding for supported independent living on a long-, medium- or short-term basis, including planned and emergency respite.

Curraghmore also welcomes enquiries for self-funded respite stays or funding from other mental health related programs.

People living at Curraghmore have access to a mental health support 24 hours per day, including an awake night shift.  This ensures they have continuous access to timely, professional support.

Each resident is supported to create a personalised Wellness Support Plan that reflects their support needs, individual preferences and NDIS goals.

Our team recognises the importance of supporting residents to engage in their community and build and maintain social connections.  We encourage participation in meaningful activities that align with their goals and interests.
