Your life.
Your direction.
Enhanced independent-living support for young Indigenous adults, in their independently arranged homes and communities.
Independence, with people beside you
Practical support.
Choices that stay yours.
Your strengths, priorities and consent shape the plan. Together, we agree on goals, scheduled visits and the assistance you want.
Nitanis provides optional support services. Participants arrange their accommodation independently, with housing and personal living expenses separate from the support agreement.
Trauma-informed, non-coercive support helps you practise everyday skills at your own pace. Your choice to decline, end or change support is separate from your tenancy.

Our relational model · Post-majority support
Connection begins with you.
A circle you help shape
Independence can include
a strong circle.
You help decide who belongs, how they take part and which connections you want to strengthen.
Select a connection to explore the model.
Your choices at the centre.
Your strengths, priorities and consent guide the plan. Relationships support your direction, at your own pace.
- Family & kin. People you choose to include. Your consent helps guide participation and what is shared.
- Elders & culture. Guidance on your own terms. Cultural connections are shaped by your preferences, availability and relevant protocols.
- Nitanis staff. Practical, agreed assistance. Scheduled support follows your goals and the scope of your individual service agreement.
- Your Nation. Community connections that matter to you. Your Nation, identity and chosen relationships remain part of the conversation.
- Learning & work. Support for your next steps. Explore learning and employment opportunities in line with your interests and goals.
Participation and information sharing are guided by your consent.

Culture on your own terms.
Elder involvement is part of the proposed enhanced service. Guidance and learning are shaped with the Elder and participant, respecting relevant protocols. Participation is voluntary. Where requested and available, we support connections with your own Nation, family and cultural resources. Cultural arrangements are confirmed during individual service planning.
The whole person
Living well, in every dimension.
The Medicine Wheel in Nitanis’s approach brings spiritual, emotional, mental and physical wellbeing into the same conversation, beginning with what each means to you.
Spiritual
Identity, meaning, belonging and cultural relationships.
Emotional
Feeling heard, expressing emotions and nurturing supportive relationships.
Mental
Learning, reflection, problem-solving and informed choices.
Physical
Food, sleep, movement, everyday routines and access to health services.
Clear expectations
Support agreed in writing.
A support service, with housing kept separate.
Participants arrange accommodation independently. Nitanis Post-Majority does not provide rental accommodation or residential placements. Housing and personal living expenses remain separate from the support agreement.
Scheduled assistance does not include continuous supervision, on-site residential staffing, overnight presence, nursing, medication administration or a guaranteed emergency response.
If needs change, the arrangement is reassessed so that assistance remains within the agreed scope and suitable services can be considered.
Plan together
Start with the adult’s interest, strengths, goals, support needs and identified risks. Review existing housing, services and the people they want involved.
Agree the service
Acceptance depends on fit, capacity and an individual plan. A written agreement confirms the purchaser, approvals, scope, schedule, responsibilities, pricing and funding before support begins.
Stay in step
Review progress and share consent-based updates with authorized partners. Adults retain their personal choices; First Nations retain their funding and authorization decisions.
A history of care may inform planning. Eligibility, purchasing arrangements and funding requirements are considered individually.
Referrals & partnerships
A conversation can be the next step.
