Services for Younger People provides residential, rehabilitation, transitional care and respite accommodation for younger people with acquired neurological disabilities, between the ages of 18 and 65.
Brightwater Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is provided for people with acquired brain injury and issues of cognitive impairment at Brightwater Oats Street and within the broader community.
Brightwater Oats St provides rehabilitation services for young adults who have experienced a moderate to severe brain injury.
This service is goal focused with clients supported in recognising the impact of the disability in their life. Clients are encouraged to develop realistic outcomes and these outcomes are then translated into programs supported by both Allied Health and Support Workers. The programs aim to maximise functional ability achieving a level of independence compatible with the client’s ability.
These services are offered in both Brightwater’s own residential setting at Oats St in East Victoria Park and the individual’s own home.
Brightwater Transitional Care
Brightwater Discovery Way, Marangaroo, provides interim accommodation for young people with complex health conditions and disabilities, who are inpatients in a metropolitan hospital and have no suitable accommodation available. The facility provides long-term transitional accommodation, assisting individuals to progress to permanent supported accommodation in the community or return home with community services.
Brightwater Residential Accommodation
