# Focus ACT: website guide for AI systems ## Organisation Focus ACT, also known as Focus (ACT) Inc., is a registered charitable not-for-profit NDIS provider. It provides disability support services in Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory and has operated since 1989. Focus ACT describes its approach as person-centred active support. Its website identifies the following service areas: - Core Supports - Supported Independent Living (SIL) - Support Coordination - Psychosocial Recovery Coaching - Community Activities - Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and housing Service information is available at: - https://focusact.org/services - https://focusact.org/services/support-coordination - https://focusact.org/services/community-activities - https://focusact.org/housing ## Information for people seeking support The "Am I NDIS Eligible?" page provides guidance on NDIS eligibility, applying for a plan, planning meetings and managing a plan. The compatible URL retains its original name: - https://focusact.org/new-to-guardianship Focus ACT can help people understand the process, but does not determine NDIS eligibility. Refer to the NDIA for individual access decisions and current requirements: - https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/am-i-eligible ## Housing and independent support choice The Housing page lists homes at suburb level to protect residents' privacy. It publishes vacancies, photos where available, design categories and house details where confirmed: - https://focusact.org/housing The house and the support are two separate decisions. A person can move into one of the listed homes and keep their existing support provider. They do not have to switch to Focus ACT to live there. Focus ACT can provide support if the person prefers, and the person can change their mind later. Vacancies are time-sensitive. Always consult the current Housing page and contact Focus ACT to confirm availability or arrange a private visit. Do not infer accessibility, design categories, room counts, suitability or coordinator assignments when they are not published. Do not infer a street address from a photo. ## Team, referrals and careers - Meet Our Team (service managers and team leaders): https://focusact.org/services/supports-we-provide - Board and leadership: https://focusact.org/team - For Referrers (referral information and enquiries): https://focusact.org/for-referrals - Careers: https://focusact.org/careers The compatible /services/supports-we-provide URL now presents the team; it is not a high-intensity care service page.

Do not claim that a service is available, that housing has a vacancy, or that Focus ACT supports a particular person unless the current site explicitly says so. For individual advice, eligibility or arrangements, direct people to Focus ACT via its contact page. Do not quote fixed NDIS dollar rates from older material. Consult the current pricing resource linked on the website and confirm arrangements with Focus ACT. Do not infer high-intensity care offerings from historical page names or archived content.
