NDIS home and living supports

Living independently can be incredibly empowering and liberating. It allows individuals to make their own choices, control their environment, and live life on their own terms. Embracing independence brings a sense of freedom, self-reliance, and the opportunity to shape one’s own unique lifestyle.

TMAC Disability Care offers a range of home and living opportunities, with supports that can be funded through the NDIS.

SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING (SIL)

Under the NDIS, Supported Independent Living (SIL) includes funding for help or supervision with daily tasks in your home to help you live as independently as possible, while building your skills. It is the paid personal supports and is most commonly used in shared living arrangements. It includes things like having a person to help with personal care tasks, or cooking meals, accessing and participating in the community.

SIL is tailored to accommodate individuals classified under ‘extreme functional impairment’ or needing ‘very high physical support,’ as well as those with ‘improved liveability’ needs. Many are unaware that they may qualify for this funding, often assuming it’s only for those requiring extensive support. We can help you understand the eligibility criteria and guide you on the possibility of accessing this funding.

Assistance with daily life

A support category in your core supports budget. It’s for assistance or supervision of personal tasks during day-to-day life that enable the participant to live as independently as possible. These supports are provided individually to participants and can be provided in a range of environments, including your own home.

Individualised living option (ILO)

An NDIS support that lets you choose the home you live in and set up supports in the way that best suits you. An ILO is a package of supports that can help you live how you want in the home environment you have chosen.

Short term accommodation

Short term accommodation including respite, is funding for support and accommodation for a short time away from your usual home. It covers the cost of your care in another place for up to 14 days at a time. You might have a short stay with other people, or by yourself. It’s often funded when your usual carers aren’t available, or for you to try new things.

Medium term accommodation

Gives you somewhere to live while you are waiting for a long term housing solution. We only fund it if you’re waiting for your disability related supports and have a confirmed long term housing solution. We usually fund Medium term accommodation for up to 90 days.
