About

Butterfly House is...

Welcome to Butterfly House, where we believe that home should be your haven, a place of genuine choice, personal freedom, and everyday joy.

We are more than an assisted living provider; we are your dedicated partners in crafting a lifestyle that is authentically and independently yours.

Our mission is to move beyond simply supporting where you live to upholding your right to choose how you want to live.

Every service we offer is built upon this foundational belief.

What makes Butterfly House SMILe?

At Butterfly House, we’ve reimagined what Supported Independent Living (SIL) can be. Tired of models built around provider convenience, we created our SMILe program to put you back in control of your home, your support, and your daily life. SMILe at its heart is a simple promise: your choices come first. This philosophy represents a fundamental shift from a traditional, compliance-driven approach to one of genuine partnership and personal freedom. To see just how different this is, explore the comparison below between a standard SIL offering and the Butterfly House SMILe experience.

Traditional SIL

Provider controls who supports you

Staff are assigned by the provider, who decides which support workers are rostered in the home.

Fixed routines & house rules

Daily routines and house guidelines are usually set to keep the household running smoothly.

Provider manages bills & finances

Household bills and shared expenses are managed by the provider as part of the service.

Compliance first

Support is delivered according to organisational policies and regulatory requirements.

Provider decides who you live with

Housemates are selected by the provider based on availability and support needs.

Provider fills existing vacancies

When a room becomes available, the provider manages the process of filling the vacancy.

What’s your Pathway?

Understanding that everyone’s journey is unique, Butterfly House offers two distinct, flexible pathways within our Inclusive Pathways program. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we partner with you to design a level of support that matches your confidence, goals, and desired level of independence. Whether you’re seeking structured guidance or a collaborative partnership, you remain firmly in the driver’s seat. Below, explore the two pathways designed to help you live with confidence and freedom.

Pathway 1

Guided Independence

Ideal for participants who are ready to self-manage their supports with a strong framework in place. You lead your journey while we provide the essential structure, governance, and peace of mind in the background.

Pathway 2

Shared Partnership

A collaborative model for those who want to blend their personal autonomy with active professional oversight. We work side-by-side with you to co-manage your supports, blending your freedom with our expertise.

No matter which path you choose, you maintain full control over your decisions, benefit from complete transparency, and are empowered to build your skills. Discover which pathway aligns with your vision for independence.
