This support can significantly improve the quality of life and encourage more independent living. Instant Support provides NDIS accommodation in Melbourne where participants feel safe and supported. Our properties are fully accessible and purpose-built, helping individuals live as comfortably as possible.

There are several types of accommodation available to meet varied needs, goals, and support levels. These include Special Disability Accommodation (SDA), Supported Independent Living (SIL), respite care, Short Term Accommodation and NDIS Medium Term Accommodation. Our clients can choose one that fits their circumstances, lifestyle, and health requirements.

Types of NDIS Accommodation We Offer

Under the NDIS, participants have the flexibility to choose the services that best suit their needs. Therefore, it’s important to familiarise yourself with all the available accommodation options to make an informed decision. Instant Support offers the following living arrangements to eligible individuals with disabilities:

Short Term Accommodation (STA)
For someone looking for a temporary stay away from their usual living arrangements, STA is a great option. We offer supportive and secure accommodation for short periods—from a weekend to up to 14 days at a stretch. During this time, participants will get meals, personal care assistance, and a chance to engage in activities that match their interests.
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA):
Our NDIS Medium Term Accommodation in Melbourne serves as a bridge for those awaiting long-term living arrangements. It offers temporary accommodation (up to 90 days) and daily support so individuals can transition smoothly to their permanent residence. To be eligible for our MTA, they must have a planned long-term housing plan and a short-term need in the interim.

Here are a few common scenarios for MTA funding:

1. 1. Waiting for home modifications to be completed
  2. Transitioning from hospital or aged care
  3. Moving out of home for the first time
  4. Delays in securing a suitable long-term accommodation option
  5. Being discharged from a rehabilitation facility without suitable accommodation
Respite Care Services
The NDIS also funds short term accommodation for people with disabilities to enjoy a change in scenery. Meanwhile, the caregivers get time to rest, recharge, or attend to other responsibilities with peace of mind. Our respite support covers accommodation, meals, overnight support, personal care assistance, and activities agreed in the plan.
Special Disability Accommodation (SDA)
We also offer several NDIS accommodation options, specifically designed for people with extreme functional impairments or high support needs. These purpose-built homes provide maximum safety, accessibility, and independence. They feature state-of-the-art amenities and a 24/7 support staff to ensure a comfortable living space.
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Individuals with disabilities can access our SIL when they want to develop essential skills to improve their quality of life. We deliver support in the client’s home or shared accommodation. Our staff assists with many daily tasks, including showering, dressing, personal care, medication management, and more. Participants also get assistance with capacity-building capabilities, like building social skills, budgeting, and managing finances.

How to Apply for NDIS Accommodation?

To apply for any NDIS accommodation, a participant must meet certain eligibility criteria. Australian citizens or permanent residents aged between 9 and 65 can access this service. They must also have a significant disability that prevents them from performing daily activities. Plus, their accommodation needs should directly relate to their physical or cognitive limitations.

Once the eligibility is confirmed, clients can follow these steps to get a reliable accommodation:

Develop a personalised plan that outlines goals, needs, and necessary supports
Highlight accommodation requirements such as NDIS Medium Term accommodation, SDA, SIL, or respite
Engage with a support coordinator to find a suitable provider
Submit documentation to request funding for accommodation-related services
Implement the approved NDIS plan
