ABOUT US

• Community First support individuals to achieve
  their goals. You are always at the centre, and
  your needs will always drive our service
  approach.
• Everyone we support is an
  individual member within our community - which we
  consider consists of both those supported (our
  clients) and those providing supports (our
  staff).
• 
  All of our services focus on the person first
  and are always designed around the individual. We
  call this approach Person First Planning -
  because we always start with the individual and
  their needs.
• If you have a disability our aim is to allow you
  to live a good, independent life
• If you suffer from a mental illness we partner
  and support you on the road to recovery
• If you are aged or frail we support you to remain
  independent at home for longer.

Individualised Community Living Strategy

  Community First as a preferred respondent for the
  Individualised Community Living Strategy.  As
  part of a panel Community First provides support
  services for up to 100 selected individuals.

  Being appointed to the panel is a testament to
  the dedication and commitment of our mental
  health teams who have established Community First
  as a worthy member of the panel and further
  acknowledges our organization as a mental health
  service provider across Western Australia.
