But if you’re an NDIS participant looking for shared living support in Melbourne, you know it’s about more than just finding a roof over your head. It’s about finding a home—a place where you are supported, respected, and empowered to live life on your terms.
Navigating the world of NDIS shared living arrangements can feel overwhelming. How do you find a place that offers the right balance of support and independence? What should you look for in a provider?
This guide is here to help you understand your options and find the perfect fit for your needs and personality.
More Than Just a Service: Understanding Your Support
In NDIS terms, shared living support is called:
Assistance with Daily Life Tasks in a Group or Shared Living Arrangement (0115)
This includes personalised support such as:
- Personal Care: Help with showering, dressing, and grooming while respecting privacy.
- Home Life Support: Meal preparation, cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a tidy environment.
- Health & Wellbeing: Medication reminders and daily health routines.
- Skill Building: Budgeting, household management, and building independence.
What Makes a House a Home? Key Things to Look For
- Person-Centred Support: Care tailored to your goals, preferences, and routines.
- Sense of Community: Homes that encourage friendship and connection.
- Focus on Independence: Support designed to build confidence and life skills.
- Respect & Dignity: Your choices, privacy, and personal space are always valued.
Your Questions, Your Rights: Ask These Before You Choose
When talking to a shared living provider, consider asking:
- How do you match people together in a shared home?
- How are decisions about the household made? Do residents have a say?
- What happens if there’s a disagreement between housemates?
- Can I personalise my room and space?
- How do you help residents build skills for future independence?
