Vertical Villages, NDIS supported living
Your own apartment.A whole village around it.
Where the “independent” in SIL still means something: your own front door, your own space and support shaped around your plan.

What we do
Use one of these or all of them. The Vertical Village is where our places to live sit, and most days our work happens in someone's own home and out in their own community.
An apartment of your own in a Vertical Village, with Supported Independent Living support on site. Specialist Disability Accommodation apartments are available in selected villages.
Personal care, daily living, domestic help and overnight support in the home you already have. Funded through your NDIS plan, or through the government Support at home program for older people.
Getting out with a support worker who knows you. Appointments, sport, shopping, work or a class, at your pace.
Five pillars: personal growth, health and wellbeing, creative expression, life skills and social connection. Wednesdays in Petersham, with more days and locations coming.

Our approach
Your goals, routines, relationships and the things you want to keep doing or work towards. That is where the conversation starts.
We listen to what is important to you and what you want your support to help you do.
The right support should work around your routines, choices and everyday life.
Community, relationships and shared experiences are there in ways that make sense for you.
The name
Kin: your people, the ones who know you best. Terra: land, ground, a place of your own. The mapping is exact. Kin is the family, a small team of five to seven support workers anchored to just two or three members. Terra is the village, the ground under it all, always there. Home is the member’s own front door.
The name is not decoration on the model. It is the model.
Vertical Villages
A Vertical Village brings individual apartments together in one building. Each member has their own home and support matched to their NDIS plan and Roster of Care, with shared spaces, familiar team members and neighbours nearby.
Your own self-contained apartment, with your own kitchen, bathroom and front door.
Support matched to your NDIS plan and Roster of Care, delivered by a familiar team who get to know you well.
