Ensure you have a stable financial plan. This may involve securing employment, budgeting, and exploring available financial assistance or housing support programs.

Start looking for private accommodation that suits your needs and budget. Consider factors such as location, affordability, and proximity to support networks or services.

Understand the legal aspects of renting a property. Familiarise yourself with lease agreements, tenant rights, and responsibilities. Seek legal advice if needed.

Cultivate a support network of friends, family, or mentors who can provide guidance and assistance during the transition.

Strengthen essential life skills, such as cooking, cleaning, time management, and problem-solving, to enhance your ability to live independently.

Ensure access to healthcare services and develop a plan for maintaining your physical and mental well-being independently.

Inform your current support services about your decision to move on. Discuss a plan for ongoing support if needed and ensure a smooth transition.

Organise your belongings, pack systematically, and arrange for the logistics of moving into your new accommodation.

Take time to adjust to your new environment. Establish routines, familiarise yourself with the local community, and connect with neighbours or support services as needed.

Regularly assess your progress and address any challenges that arise. Be open to seeking additional support if required.
