About Us

Life's for Living (formerly known as Housing Connexion Inc.) is a unique and innovative support service that was established in 1987 through the endeavours of a committed group of parents, professionals and the Intellectual Disability Services Council.
We operate in Adelaide, South Australia and assist people with a diverse range of disabilities (including sensory impairments) and people with complex needs who require varying levels of support to live a life that is similar to their peers.

  • Support families to make effective decisions regarding their relative moving out of home
  • Support, encourage and nurture family relationships and friendships.
