Collective Hope Community Services
It all started in 2014 when a group of people from a local church in Midland saw that there were homeless persons in the eastern suburbs of Perth who needed help. A supported living home was then established in Kalamunda which then developed into a second home being established in Midland not long after. During this time we identified that many of these individuals had undiagnosed disabilities which reflected the need for 24/7 supported living.
To address this, Collective Hope Disability Services was established in 2019 as an accredited NDIS provider primarily offering supported independent living to people across the greater Perth area.
Fast forward to 2020 and Collective Hope continues to grow and now offers a full-suite of supports in the disability sector throughout the Perth metro area.
