Securing a suitable and supportive living environment is crucial for individuals with disabilities. The NDIS provides various housing support options to empower participants to live independently. While it does not fund rent or property purchases, it offers financial assistance for specialist accommodation, in-home support, and home modifications to enhance accessibility and overall quality of life.
NDIS Housing Support Options
1. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
SDA is designed for individuals with high support needs, offering purpose-built housing with essential accessibility features. It covers housing costs but not everyday living expenses.
2. Supported Independent Living (SIL)
SIL provides assistance with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care, supporting participants in shared or individual living arrangements.
3. Individualised Living Options (ILO)
ILO allows participants to customise their living arrangements, whether living alone, with a host family, or alongside housemates, with tailored support options.
4. Short-Term & Medium-Term Accommodation (STA & MTA)
These temporary housing options offer support during transitional periods, such as respite care or while waiting for permanent accommodation solutions.
5. Home Modifications & Assistive Technology
Funding is available for accessibility improvements, including ramps, stairlifts, bathroom modifications, and smart home technology to promote independence.
