Make this summer yours

Fun, relaxation and trying new things with Melba

Individualised Support Arrangements: your life, your way
No two lives look the same. From where you live and work to who you spend time with and what you enjoy. It’s choices like these that make your life…yours!
Individualised Support Arrangements (ISA) with Melba is all about one to one support that’s tailored to you. You choose the supports that fit your sense of independence, your interests and what brings you joy.
Ideas to get started

- Join (or try) a community group or class
- Plan a summer routine that blends downtime and new experiences
- Mix it up—a little bit of everything that makes your day feel like yours
Summer is a great time to explore your local community, cafés, events, green spaces and accessible activities. We’ll work alongside you to plan and make it happen.
