Core Supports (Daily Living)

Daily living supports are the foundation of independence. We provide one-to-one, respectful assistance that helps you feel safe, comfortable, and confident in your own home.

• One-to-one assistance with personal care, routines and safety
• Help with housekeeping, meal prep, and medication reminders
• Building life skills such as budgeting and planning

Our approach: We work with you, not for you — always encouraging independence while ensuring comfort and safety.

Meal Preparation & Nutrition Support

Healthy food is essential for wellbeing, but meal preparation can sometimes feel overwhelming. Our team offers support that makes cooking both achievable and enjoyable.

• Meal planning, shopping assistance, and healthy cooking support
• Nutrition guidance and safe kitchen skills
• Respect for your culture, dietary needs, and preferences

Our approach: We promote independence in the kitchen so you can enjoy safe, nutritious meals every day.

Transport Assistance

Getting where you need to go should never be a barrier. Our transport support is designed to give you the confidence and freedom to access appointments, programs, and social activities.

• Community participation — support to attend social, recreational, or educational activities with confidence.
• Flexible scheduling — tailored transport options across Melbourne and Victoria to suit your lifestyle and commitments.
• Optional accompaniment — our support workers can stay with you at your destination if you need extra assistance.

Our approach: Transport is about more than travel — it’s about freedom, opportunity, and connection. We ensure you feel safe, supported, and empowered to take part in everyday life beyond your doorstep.

Fun & Outdoor Activities

At North Star Recovery, we believe that engaging in meaningful activities is just as important as daily supports. That’s why we provide opportunities to get outdoors, meet people, and enjoy experiences that enrich your wellbeing.

• Community participation — support to attend social, cultural, or recreational events in your local area.
• Outdoor activities — from gentle walks and exercise in the park to joining a local sports team or fitness program.
• Hobbies & interests — accompaniment to art classes, hobby groups, libraries, or clubs where you can develop your skills and passions.
• Day trips & outings — safe and supported excursions across Melbourne and Victoria, from local attractions to nature spots.

Our approach: We see fun and social connection as vital parts of recovery and wellbeing. Our team encourages you to explore activities that make you happy, while providing safe, reliable support every step of the way. Whether you’re looking to connect with others, enjoy the outdoors, or try something new, we’ll be there to help you feel confident and included.
