Building a more accessible future

The home and living landscape in Geelong is evolving and Empowered Liveability is right there at the forefront, ensuring that people living with disabilities have access to safe, accessible and genuinely empowering housing options.

As one of Australia’s leading Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) providers, Empowered Liveability has long recognised Geelong as a region of growth, community and opportunity.

Led by regional tenancy manager Tanya Sexton who understands that Geelong is more than a beautiful coastal city – it’s home to a thriving and diverse disability community that deserves long-term housing security and choice. It’s also home to half of the team, who are based around Geelong, with an office in Lara.

For Empowered Liveability, Geelong represents the balance between city convenience and regional connection. With access to major hospitals, community hubs, education and employment opportunities, and ongoing infrastructure investment, it’s an ideal region for people seeking independence while remaining close to family and services.

Tanya and the Empowered Liveability team are deeply committed to helping participants find homes that aren’t just compliant, they are comfortable, inclusive and built for the future. Through close collaboration with participants, families, and support providers, the team ensures that each property reflects what people truly want: safety, accessibility, connection and control over their lives.

Empowered Liveability currently offers a range of SDA homes across the Geelong region, including fully accessible and high physical support villas designed with space, natural light and technology to enhance independence. These homes prioritise thoughtful design – from wide corridors and assistive technology to landscaped outdoor areas that invite community connection.

But the team isn’t stopping there. With several new developments planned for 2026, Empowered Liveability is expanding its footprint in and around Geelong. These upcoming projects are set to introduce even more options for participants – homes that respond directly to what people have been asking for: more storage, better access to transport and shops, and beautiful, modern environments where life can truly flourish.

As the NDIS continues to evolve, so too does the need for quality housing that grows with it. Empowered Liveability’s vision is clear – to create communities where people of all abilities can live with dignity, freedom, and joy. For a closer look at what’s currently available, visit Empowered Liveability’s website at empoweredliveability.com.au and stay tuned for what’s coming to Geelong in 2026.
