Tenancy and accommodation

Community Care Hub have professionals that can assist participants in securing appropriate housing, tenancy applications, agreements and processes. 

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Community Care Hub can provide personalised Supported Independent Living (SIL) accommodation services for people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.

(SIL) Supported Independent Living is a shared living experience for people with a disability who have SIL funding in their NDIS plan.

SIL includes help or supervision with daily tasks, like personal care or cooking meals. It helps you live as independently as possible, whilst building your life skills.

Supported Independent living is for people with higher support needs, who need some level of help at home around the clock.

Supported Independent living is best suited to people with a disability who have higher support needs, meaning around the clock support 24/7.

You can get Supported Independent Living if you live with other NDIS participants. You can also get supported independent living if you live on your own, but there might be other home and living supports that suit you better.

Supported Independent Living funding can’t be used for things like rent or other day-to-day expenses like groceries.

Certain types of (SIL) supports include:
What is Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

What is Short Stay Accommodation (STA)?

Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is support for when you need to live out of home for a short period.

Short Term Accommodation funding can be used for respite to support you and your carers. This gives your carers a short break from their caring role.

Sometimes a short stay away from home:

Short Term Accommodation may suit your needs if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period.

Short Term Accommodation includes:

The NDIS funds up to 28 days of Short-Term Accommodation per year. You can use your Short-Term Accommodation funding flexibly. For example, you might want to use it in a block of up to 14 days at a time or for one weekend a month.

Alternatively, if you need longer term accommodation support – Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), you may be eligible for this support.

The NDIS fund Medium Term Accommodation so you have somewhere to live if you can't move into your long-term home because your disability supports aren't ready. To be eligible, you must have a home you’ll move into and you need somewhere else to live in the medium-term. The NDIS can fund medium term accommodation for up to 90 days.

If you already have funding in your Core budget, you may be eligible to use these support services.
