Frequently asked questions
NDIS funded accommodation refers to housing and living supports provided by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for individuals with disabilities. This funding aims to help participants live more independently by providing suitable housing and necessary in-home supports.
Participants who benefit from different living arrangements, have restricted mobility, need specialised housing for care, or are in unsuitable temporary accommodations can access NDIS funded accommodation. Eligibility is based on individual needs assessed by the NDIS.
Supported accommodation is ideal for individuals whose current living arrangements can’t meet their specialised needs. It provides higher levels of support and assistance, promoting independence and enhancing quality of life through tailored care and living environments.
Accessing supported accommodation involves determining eligibility for NDIS funding, developing an NDIS plan with a planner, finding suitable accommodation, engaging a provider, and ensuring the NDIS covers the costs. Participants should seek guidance from the NDIA or a disability support provider.
