SPECIALIST DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION IN GISBORNE: A NEW OPTION IN THE MACEDON RANGES
If you’re supporting someone with very high support needs, you already know how hard it can be to find the right housing — especially in regional areas like the Macedon Ranges. Options are limited, especially when it comes to purpose-built homes that meet the NDIS ‘Robust’ design category. And when something does come up, it’s often in a location that just doesn’t suit.
That’s why we’re building something different.
Yours Truly Support Services has opened a brand new Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) home in Gisborne, ready for occupancy. It’s been designed for people who need a higher level of physical and emotional safety, but still want the comfort, space and freedom of their own home.
This is not a repurposed property or an add-on to an existing service. It’s a house built from the ground up with SDA in mind — durable, well-designed, and part of a wraparound support system delivered by a team that knows what steady, consistent support looks like.
Why Gisborne?
There are plenty of SDA homes being built across Melbourne’s western suburbs, but very little in the Macedon Ranges. That’s left a lot of families facing a choice between taking what’s available — even if it doesn’t suit — or keeping someone at home longer than is sustainable.
Gisborne is a bit of a sweet spot. You’ve got peace and space, without being isolated. The local shops, parks and health services are all close by. There’s still a strong sense of community here. And if needed, Melbourne is just down the Calder.
For the right person, it’s a chance to live more independently without being pushed into a big metro environment.
Built to NDIS ‘Robust’ Standards
This isn’t a standard house with a few rails thrown in. It’s been purpose-built to suit people with complex support needs — particularly those who require a more resilient, durable home environment.
Some key features:
There’s a calm, neutral feel throughout the home. No loud colours or clinical styling. It’s a space you can make your own.
Who This Home Might Suit
This Gisborne SDA home is designed for people funded under the Robust category. That includes people with very high support needs, who may also require an environment that helps manage behaviours of concern.
That might include:
If that’s you — or someone you support — this could be a good fit.
What Support’s Available?
The house is part of a broader support ecosystem. That means people living here have access to:
You can bring your existing support team or support can be delivered by trained, consistent staff who show up, stay steady, and get to know you and your lifestyle. We work closely with families, support coordinators and allied health professionals to make sure the environment is set up properly from day one.
What Happens If You’re Interested?
We keep it pretty straightforward:
- You or your support coordinator can register interest via the form on our website or give us a call
- We'll have a chat — either in person or over the phone — to learn more about your needs and check alignment
- If it looks like a good fit, we’ll arrange a tour and start talking about timelines, compatibility and what the move might look like
There’s no pressure. Our goal is to help people land somewhere they’ll actually thrive.
About Yours Truly
We’re a support service with roots in Melbourne’s west — familiar with the day-to-day realities of NDIS work, and honest about what good support takes. We take the time to get the basics right: stable teams, clear communication, and calm, trauma-informed environments.
This Gisborne SDA is part of that. A step toward filling a very real gap — especially for people who’ve been told “there’s nothing available” too many times before.
If you’d like to talk through whether this home might be right for someone you support, give us a call on 1300 009 010 or visit Yours Truly Support Services website.
We’re happy to walk you through it.
