Living with others can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. It’s about sharing laughs over a home-cooked meal, having someone to chat with at the end of the day, and feeling like you truly belong.

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?
