The purpose
Nurture Community Village is a purpose-built, short-term accommodation community on the Sunshine Coast, designed to support people navigating eating disorder recovery during periods of transition.
The Village provides a safe, supportive environment that helps bridge the gap between higher levels of care and greater independence, while connecting residents with recovery-focused supports and community through endEDs other iniaitives.
A place to land, rebuild, and belong
Nurture Community Village is a purpose-built short-term accommodation community on the Sunshine Coast, created to support people navigating eating disorder recovery during their time of need.
Born from years of frontline experience in mental health and community support, the Nurture Community Village exists to bridge a critical gap, providing safe and supportive accommodation for those who are ready to rebuild, but have nowhere stable to land.
A place to land, rebuild, and belong
Set across 10 acres in Woombye, directly opposite the endED House of Hope, Nurture Community Village offers thoughtfully designed tiny homes within a calm, nature-based setting.

Creating an impact beyond the Village
One of the most powerful aspects of the Nurture Community Village is how it was built.
Through collaboration with Esuarve and Tiny Mobile Australia, young people were supported and mentored to build the tiny homes with their own hands. This collaborative, community–led approach reflects the heart of endED and this creates a ripple effect:
-
Young people gained skills, purpose and direction
-
The project actively contributed to reducing youth crime
-
The homes were built with meaning, connection and care
It’s a model that supports not just residents, but the wider community.
"The village will provide people with a safe, supportive place to land during what is often the most vulnerable stage of recovery..."
