Logo for Nexus Inc

Nexus is a community-based organisation with a voluntary board that has been supporting people with a disability since 1998. But has its roots in the early 1990s through the amalgamation of Tagari Lia Community Living Association and Southern Residential Services both of which were set up in the early '90's in response to deinstitutionalisation. Our aim is simple - to help people with a disability live as independently as possible and have active engagement in the community. Our objectives are simply to provide places of residence, individualised support and quality staffing to assist people with intellectual and physical disabilities to live a safe, satisfying, enjoyable and stimulating life. Nexus is responsible for nine shared homes located in the Hobart, Kingborough, Clarence and Glenorchy municipalities. We employ some 100 staff, both permanent and casual, who provide support to 36 people. Nexus residents are people with varying levels of support need; some have very high and complex medical needs while others are moving toward a greater level of financial and living independence with the support of Nexus.
