You might just feel like having a chat with us and for us just to listen to your thoughts, or you might like help with reading material and resources. You might like to have some help with actually finding and securing a place of your own.

If you are interested in talking to someone about your accommodation needs and you are registered with the government for disability services, we suggest you speak to their intake officer first. If you just want to have a chat about what Flexi offers, call us and speak to Brenda-Anne.
