A home where you belong.
Finding the right home is about more than four walls. It is about finding where you belong.
Maybe you want to share a home with housemates you click with. Maybe you want to live on your own with support that flexes around you. Or maybe you need an accessible home built for the way you live. Whatever it looks like for you, our local team works with you and the people close to you to shape a home that fits your goals.
Our focus is always on You. First.

Our Housemate Matching process is designed to help you find a home where you belong. We listen to what you like and what you do not. Then you get the chance to meet potential housemates and see how you feel around them. Learn more about Housemate Matching.
Yes. Your independence comes first. Our onsite teams are here to support you day to day, and we are happy to work alongside your existing therapists, support coordinators and allied health professionals so your move feels seamless.
We are committed to upholding the human rights of every person we support, every time. We call this The Aruma Way, our promise to deliver support that is:
- Your Way: person-centred support, with you at the centre
- The Safe Way: keeping everyone safe from harm
- The Right Way: effective support, provided the way it should be
- Together: working in partnership with you and your support network
It is part of who we are, built into everything we do, and what we hold ourselves to. As a registered NDIS provider, we also publish how we are tracking against these goals.
Yes. Aruma is a registered not-for-profit NDIS provider and has been for over 60 years. That means everything we earn goes straight back into the people we support, our staff and our services.
We’re registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, which means we meet strict standards around safety, quality and the rights of the people we support. It also means your NDIS funding can be used with us across all our services.
Being not-for-profit is more than a label for us. It shapes how we operate, how we hire, and how we make decisions. We’re not driven by shareholder returns. We’re driven by outcomes for the people who walk through our doors.
