DAY PROGRAMS
Social and Community Participation
Sunnyhaven offers a range of day programs so you can find the perfect fit for you and where you are in life.
You’ll be matched with like-minded peers of a similar age, with shared interests and life experience, so it’s easy to make friends and feel confident.
Some examples for inspiration include:
– Growing or maintaining your connections with the people you care about – family, friends and other important people – as well as growing your social circle and forming new friendships.
– Keeping mentally and physically active and supporting your health and wellbeing.
– Finding joy and activities to look forward to as well as discovering new things about your community and yourself.
Sunnyhaven has developed popular programs, co-designed with our clients and families, including Music Therapy, Hydrotherapy, Creative Arts, Fitness, Work-Ready Skills and Computer Skills and Online Safety.
Together, we’ll design a plan that’s focused on you and gets you excited!

The vibe is always such a happy one, and I always notice how everyone is pretty
much always smiling. The clients and everyone else there appear to
thoroughly enjoy themselves and I just wanted to thank your
team for consistently providing a fantastic service.
First I must thank you and the other staff for all the marvelous care and reassurance provided to Jessie during this time of the Corona Virus. Jessie was quite distressed at first by all the changes brought about by rules on social distancing and CP shutting. I am very impressed how quickly everyone managed to adapt and develop new support systems for the clients at Heath Street. All the staff at Heath Street are definitely “heros”.
SHORT TERM
ACCOMMODATION
An opportunity for clients and their families to spend some time apart so everyone can relax, recharge and even try something new before coming back together again.
Available for people with disability aged 18 and older, our Short Term Accommodation – which is sometimes referred to as respite – allows you to plan the perfect break.
Our Short Term Accommodation service is located at Penshurst, however, we can be flexible in meeting your needs. We can also make arrangements for longer stays.

I can’t speak highly enough of Sunnyhaven and the massive difference they provided
for both Ian and Patricia’s lives…
SUPPORT COORDINATION
Support Coordinators can help you to make the best use of your NDIS funding by understanding the NDIS and your plan, how your plan relates to your goals and connecting you with NDIS providers, community supports, mainstream opportunities and government services. You can ask for Support Coordination to be funded in your NDIS plan at no extra cost to you.
We are proud to be able to offer both Level 2: Coordination of Supports, as well as Level 3: specialist support coordination.
Level 3: Specialist support coordination is designed to reduce complexity in your support environment and overcome significant barriers in implementing your plan.
Sunnyhaven’s Support Coordinators will listen to you and your loved ones and support you to find and choose the right providers and opportunities for you.
We will help you:
– Manage your NDIS budget
– Choose and connect with the local service providers you need
– Develop lifelong goals
– Link you with mainstream and community services
– Assist you to self-manage your NDIS plan or linking you with choices of Plan Managers
How Support Coordination is funded
Support Coordination is funded in your NDIS plan. It doesn’t take away from your other core funding, it’s an added extra.
HOME & SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING
Sunnyhaven provides accommodation and Supported Independent Living (SIL) choices for adults with disability aged 18 and older. Whether you’d like to live on your own or share a house with others, we can provide professional, respectful and caring support staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in line with your NDIS funding.
SIL funding can be used for support with:
– Staying in touch with your family, friends and other important people in your life, as well as expanding your social circle to meet new friends if that’s something you would like
– Connecting you with your local community
– Supporting you with your health needs, including taking medication and going to medical appointments, as well as general health and wellbeing
– Assistance with attending work or day programs
– Running your household, including help with everyday chores like cooking, cleaning, and gardening
SIL funding does not pay for:
– Rent or mortgage
– Everyday bills – utilities etc
– Food and grocery costs
– Transport
– Major household maintenance – garden overhauls, major seasonal cleaning
SIL is best suited for participants who have high support needs, and who require a significant amount of assistance throughout the day. If SIL is the most appropriate support for you, you will receive funding for this assistance as part of your NDIS plan. The amount of funding provided will depend on the level of support you require to live independently in the housing option of your choice.
When you choose Sunnyhaven for your SIL supports, we’ll work together with you and your loved ones to develop an initial plan for your SIL and we’ll regularly meet to make sure it’s still meeting your needs and update it.
Very happy with the running of Coffee Club, it’s great that everyone is enjoying themselves
and it’s the best it has ever been. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for the wonderful day your team arranged for Harry’s Birthday.
This was much more than we expected. The trouble that the team went
to do celebrate our brothers birthday, we are truly thankful.
The vibe is always such a happy one, and I always notice how everyone is pretty
much always smiling. The clients and everyone else there appear to
thoroughly enjoy themselves and I just wanted to thank your
team for consistently providing a fantastic service.
Firstly Rob and I recently went to see Ricky at his home and wanted to let you know we thought the house looked fantastic. We think it is the best looking home in the street. Great colours and the flowers in the front were beginning to bloom. A lovely homely place for Ricky and his housemates to be living in.
Hi Sal & Maree, Just had a call from Mick, he can’t believe how quickly Suzanne has settled into her new home and wishes she lived with Sunnyhaven years ago. Sal, he cannot praise and thank you enough and is very happy with all your communication with him, really good feedback. Regards, Fiona Bailey
