You’re seeing our new BaptistCare brand. Same care and services, with a fresh new look as we continue updating our websites.

Bowden Lodge

Through Bowden Lodge, Baptist Care SA provides supported accommodation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men who have exceptional needs.

A person with exceptional needs may:

  • behave in ways that are very difficult to manage, and that threaten their own or others’ safety
  • have a mental health diagnosis that is difficult to manage with medication alone and affects their ability to live without daily living support
  • have experience of complex trauma, including family violence, family breakdown and abuse (sexual, emotional, physical)
  • live with disability and complex health problems that are often neglected
  • be socially isolated
  • have a history of homelessness and have been involved with the criminal justice system, including youth detention and prison.

Provided in partnership with the Exceptional Needs Unit and NDIS
