LAAS | Lifestyle Assistance & Accommodation Service

Membership Application Form


Lifestyle Assistance and Accommodation Service (LAAS) is a Member-Governed Association. We have a long and strong history of delivering client focussed service delivery which was designed by the founding Members of the Association.

Incorporated Associations like LAAS, are strongest when they have an interested, committed and involved Member base. Under the current constitution (which was endorsed by the Membership in 2019) full members of LAAS are defined as :

  • Clients who self-manage their support services and who are aged 18 years or over
  • The immediate family members or appointed Gaurdians of participants receiving services from the Association. A maximum of three (3) immediate family members of a client who does not self-manage their services and who subscribe to the objects of the Association. A maximum of two (2) immediate family members of a client who is full member in their own right and who subscribe to the objects of the Association.

Associate membership is defined as individuals who are aged 18 years and older and who subscribe to the objects of the Association and do not have voting rights. They may have a family member attending LAAS or have a strong interest in the association.
