Finding the right home that offers comfort, support, and a sense of belonging can be challenging, especially when you need specialised care and funding. Rural Lifestyle Options Australia currently has one room available in their welcoming Marsden home, designed for a male participant with both Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding. This opportunity offers more than just a place to stay, it provides a supportive environment where residents can thrive.


A Home Designed for Comfort and Stability


The Marsden property is tailored to meet the needs of residents seeking a calm and stable living environment. The house currently accommodates three friendly male housemates aged in their late 40s to early 50s. They enjoy a relaxed daily routine that includes community outings, walks, music, gaming and spending time together in a positive household setting.


Key features of the home include:


  • Automated blinds for ease of use and privacy

  • Smart lighting to enhance comfort and convenience

  • Air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round

  • Free Wi-Fi to support connectivity and independence


These features help residents maintain their independence while enjoying a high quality of life in a safe and supportive environment.


Location Benefits: Peaceful and Connected


The home is set in a peaceful location surrounded by parklands, walking, and cycling tracks. This setting encourages residents to engage with nature and enjoy outdoor activities that promote wellbeing. The nearby community offers opportunities for social interaction and participation in local events, which helps residents feel connected and valued.


Living in Marsden means:


  • Access to green spaces for daily walks and exercise

  • Safe and quiet neighbourhood ideal for relaxation

  • Close proximity to community facilities and services


This balance of tranquility and accessibility makes the home an excellent choice for those seeking both comfort and community involvement.


Person-Centered Support Focus


Rural Lifestyle Options Australia prioritises compatibility and consistency in their support approach. They understand that feeling safe and valued is essential for residents to feel truly at home. The team works closely with each participant to provide person-centered support tailored to individual needs and preferences.


This means:


  • Support plans designed around each resident’s goals and lifestyle

  • Consistent staff to build trust and familiarity

  • Encouragement of independence while providing necessary assistance


This approach helps residents build meaningful daily routines and enjoy a sense of belonging within the household.


Why This Vacancy Won’t Last Long


There is strong demand for quality SIL and SDA vacancies in the Logan region. Opportunities like this one, offering a supportive home with excellent facilities and a welcoming community, are rare. For male participants with SIL and SDA funding looking for a stable and positive living environment, this Marsden home is an ideal option.


If you or someone you know could benefit from this vacancy, it’s important to act quickly.

This was the first Christmas Party we have been able to host since COVID, and it would not have been possible without the support of our external supporters this year. 👏

More than ever, people are experiencing isolation. This is especially true for people with a disability and older Australians. In 2026, we want to run more events like this to create more inclusion, connection and meaningful social opportunities for the people we support.


These moments are not funded through the NDIS or My Aged Care, which means they only happen because of community support. We will keep finding creative ways to bring people together and we would love to do it on a bigger scale next year.

If you, your family, your friends or your employer would like to help create moments like this for our clients, families and staff in 2026, please email nick.power@rloa.org.au to start the conversation.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Rural Lifestyle Options Australia throughout the year. Your generosity, advocacy and belief in what we do helps make moments like this possible. 💙


On Friday, 5 December 2025, we brought together our NDIS and Aged Care clients, families and staff for our combined Christmas Party and it was an absolute highlight of the year.

Held at the Crystal Palace at Diggers Services Club, the afternoon was filled with laughter, connection and festive cheer from start to finish.


The joy on the day was a powerful reminder of the sense of community we are so proud of at Rural Lifestyle Options Australia.


A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success. 🎉

📸 Keep an eye out for the photobooth photos dropping tomorrow.

We are already looking forward to our next event in 2026!
