The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers support to participants aiming to live independently. During the planning process, participants and their families can discuss their housing and living goals. The participant’s plan outlines the supports funded by the NDIS and those accessed through the housing system.
Typically, participants secure housing in the private market through ownership or renting, or they may opt for social housing.
Participants are responsible for their day-to-day living expenses, including rent, groceries, utilities, and communication services like telephone or internet. Similarly, they cover costs for general household items such as furniture and kitchenware. However, in specific situations, the NDIS may provide contributions toward these expenses.
The NDIS provides funding for various supports aimed at enhancing participants’ ability to live independently in the community. These supports include:
These are aimed at developing skills necessary for independent living, such as improving living skills, managing finances and household tasks, enhancing social and communication skills, and managing behaviour effectively.
Funding is available for modifications to the participant’s own home or a private rental property. In some cases, modifications may also be considered for social housing, depending on individual needs and circumstances.
Assistance with personal care tasks, including showering and dressing, is provided to participants who require such support due to their disability.
Participants who are unable to undertake household tasks independently due to their disability can receive support with tasks such as cleaning and laundry to help maintain their living environment.
These supports are tailored to the individual needs and goals of participants, aiming to facilitate their independence and well-being within their community and chosen living arrangements.
