Become a
Supportive Housemate
Could you help create a home where someone truly belongs?
Most of us don’t think twice about having someone to share a meal with, chat to after work, watch a movie alongside, or simply know is there at the end of the day.
For many people with disability, life can be full of paid support, but that doesn’t always mean genuine connections, friendships and sense of belonging that make a house feel like home.
UrHome is about this idea that life is better when it's shared.
We’re building a community of people who want to share more than a house. Together, we’re creating opportunities for people to share meals, experiences, friendships, celebrations and the everyday moments that help us feel connected and valued.
As a supportive housemate, you’re not there to provide a service. You’re there to share life, build relationships and help create a home where everyone belongs.
What does a supportive housemate do?
You aren’t a support worker. You’re a housemate, friend and part of the community around someone.
Every household is different, but it might involve:
- Sharing meals together
- Having a chat over a coffee
- Watching movies or sporting events
- Celebrating birthdays and milestones
- Enjoying hobbies or activities together
- Inviting someone into the everyday moments that make life meaningful
- Helping create a welcoming, connected home environment
Often, it’s the little things that matter most. The conversations, laughter, routines, invitations and shared experiences that turn a house into a home and neighbours into friends.
Could you be a good fit?
You don’t need experience in disability support.
We’re looking for people who:
- Enjoy building genuine relationships
- Are kind, respectful and reliable
- Want to be part of a more connected and inclusive community
- Value diversity and different ways of living
- Are comfortable sharing their home with another person
- Believe everyone deserves friendship, belonging and meaningful relationships
What matters most isn't what you've done.
It’s who you are, how you treat others and your willingness to share a little of your life with someone else.
Why become a supportive housemate?
Being a supportive housemate isn’t just about what you give.
Many people tell us they gain:
- Meaningful friendships
- A stronger sense of community
- Shared experiences and memories
- New perspectives and connections
- The opportunity to make a genuine difference in someone’s life
- The chance to be part of a more inclusive world
The best homes aren’t built around services.
They’re built around relationships, belonging and shared lives.

Because everyone deserves more than a house to live in.
Everyone deserves a place to belong.
