A circle is managed by a trained Facilitator who assists the participant identify:

  • their goals, passions and interests
  • what they want from a circle
  • who should be invited to join the circle

Once the circle is established members agree their roles in how they will assist the Participant to regularly pursue their interests.

Members can also support the Participant with decision making, planning and advocacy, particularly post their parents care.

The Circle of Friends concept originated in Canada by PLAN and has successfully expanded to areas of the US, Scotland, and Europe. Aimed at promoting capacity building and self-determination, circles are highly individualised with no circle the same as another.

This service is eligible for funding through a Participants NDIS Plan.

Testimonials

Before we knew about Future Living we were anxious about Shelly’s future. We are very grateful and relieved to find such a wonderful organisation that really will provide for her when we can’t.

Leanne, Shelley’s mum, Future Living client

I can’t thank you enough for your guidance so far. I must confess you have well and truly turned this (NDIS) sceptic around.

Des H - Support Coordination client

My husband and I have donated to Future Living since 2012. We want to ensure the organisation continues to create a secure future for people with intellectual disability, recognising their individuality and striving to meet their needs.

The Walker Family

The Safe & Secure program combines practical guidance and expert information in one place that helps families navigate complex issues.

Jennifer Dixon, Practice Leader, Moores Legal, Victoria

I really love working with Future Living. It is great to work with such a dedicated team who genuinely care about their clients. Even though my work does not put me in direct contact with clients, the team always makes me feel like the work I do is helping them to provide a better level of much-needed support in the disability community. It is very rewarding for me.
