My Place is an organisation that works in partnership with each person with a disability to pursue the lifestyle of their choice and to have their individual needs met by people they choose and trust.

My Place is currently looking for co-residents to move in with and provide live-in support to a man with a disability who is moving into his own home, close to the CBD.
