Lake Macquarie and the western suburbs
Seven of our homes sit around Lake Macquarie, which makes it the densest part of our Hunter operation after Newcastle itself.
Sunflower Services is a registered NDIS provider across Newcastle and the Hunter. Around Lake Macquarie we have supported living homes at Edgeworth and Cameron Park, and individualised living at Windale, with support workers covering the wider lake area for people living at home or with family.
Lake Macquarie is bigger than people expect, and the difference between the western suburbs and the eastern lakeside is real, in transport, in services and in what a week actually looks like. Our teams work across both rather than treating it as one place.
Each of these has its own page with current vacancies, photographs, bedroom and bathroom detail and a description of the street.
Four supported living homes in the same complex, four bedrooms each with two bathrooms, in a newer estate with easy access to the motorway.
A three bedroom supported living home close to Edgeworth shops and the bus routes through to Glendale.
A second Edgeworth home, three bedrooms with two bathrooms, on a quieter street nearby.
Three bedroom individualised living with two bathrooms, close to Lake Macquarie Square and the eastern lakeside.
Help with daily routines, getting out and about, appointments and the ordinary business of a week, from workers matched to how you like things done.
Making sense of a plan, choosing providers and getting supports actually running, then keeping them working once they are.
Shared homes with support available around the clock.
A living arrangement built around one person rather than a vacancy, with support sized to suit.
Short Term Respite, previously called short term accommodation. A real break for carers and a change of scene for participants.
Working alongside someone living with mental health challenges to build routine, confidence and direction at their pace.
Support work and coordination across Lake Macquarie and the surrounding suburbs.
If your suburb is not on this list it is still worth asking. Travel time affects what is practical for shorter shifts, but we would rather tell you honestly than leave you guessing.
There is no complicated process. Call or send a message saying roughly what you are after, and we will tell you whether we can help and what it would look like. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
If you are looking at supported living, the next step is usually a visit. Seeing the house and meeting the people already living there tells you more than any description can.
Cameron Park and Edgeworth in the west, close to the motorway and Glendale, and Windale on the eastern side near Lake Macquarie Square. Support work covers the whole local government area.
No, they are separate homes in the same complex. People living in one are not sharing with the others. It does mean that if one is not the right fit, there may be another close by.
Support work and coordination, yes. Travel time can affect what is practical for shorter shifts that far south, so it is worth asking about your specific address.
Same team, same services, mostly a question of which house and which worker is closest to you. Several of our Newcastle staff live around the lake.
Yes, and we would encourage it. Who you would be living with matters as much as the house. Visits and overnight stays can usually be arranged.
All three work. We are a registered NDIS provider, so agency managed plans can use us as well.
