What is Shared Accommodation Under the NDIS?

Shared accommodation refers to living in a structured environment with other participants. Usually, in shared accommodation facilities, your loved ones will have their own private rooms along with common spaces, such as kitchens and living areas, to encourage social interaction, develop skills and thrive in an inclusive environment.

Depending on your specific needs, the NDIS can fund NDIS shared accommodation services in Geelong to help participants with their daily tasks, personal activities, and community participation. It can be temporary stays, transitional housing or purpose-built homes for individuals with complex needs.

FAQs on NDIS Shared Accommodation Services in Geelong

How can you decide with whom I’ll live in a shared accommodation?

We perform thorough screening by looking into your lifestyle preferences, communication patterns, lifestyle routines, and choose the most suitable housemate.

Absolutely. If your plan outlines that the transition from STA to MTA homes is necessary in your case, we will ensure a seamless transition so that you feel settled at every stage.

Support for SIL participants includes help with personal care, help with meal preparation, medication management, household chores, and community access.

STA or respite offers temporary short-term accommodation to participants while their primary carers are on a break. On the other hand, MTA or medium-term accommodation offers housing for participants who are waiting for a permanent settlement. Thus, it serves as transitional housing.

NDIS only covers the cost of hiring support workers to help you with daily activities. Participants have to spend their own money on rent, utilities, and personal expenses.
