Navigating the complexities of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be a daunting task, particularly when it comes to understanding NDIS. At Royal Care Services, we are committed to providing clarity and comprehensive information about NDIS accommodation and its eligibility criteria.

NDIS Accommodation Explained

Accommodation refers to the housing support provided to individuals with disabilities under the NDIS. This type of accommodation is designed to offer a safe, secure, and comfortable living environment that caters to the specific needs of people with disabilities. Accommodation is not just about providing a roof over one's head; it's about ensuring that the accommodation aligns with the individual's needs, promoting independence, and enhancing their quality of life.

Types of NDIS Accommodation

There are various types of accommodation available, each tailored to meet different needs. These include:

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA): This is for people with extreme functional 

impairment or very high support needs. SDA homes are designed with special features to cater for these needs.

Supported Independent Living (SIL): SIL involves providing support to individuals in a shared living environment, helping them develop skills to live as independently as possible.

Short Term Accommodation and Respite: This offers temporary relief for both the participant and their caregivers, ensuring the participant's needs are met while giving caregivers a break.

Eligibility for NDIS Accommodation

Eligibility for  accommodation is determined based on the individual's disability and the level of support they require. To be eligible, one must:

• 
  Be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or a New Zealand citizen who holds a Protected Special Category Visa.
• 
  Have a permanent and significant disability that requires support.
• 
  Be aged under 65 at the time of making the NDIS request.

The process of applying for accommodation involves several steps:

NDIS Plan Creation: The first step is creating an NDIS plan that outlines your goals, needs, and the types of support required, including accommodation.

Assessment and Approval: Your NDIS plan, including your accommodation needs, will be assessed by the NDIA. If approved, you will receive funding for accommodation.

Finding Suitable Accommodation: Royal Care Services can assist in finding accommodation that suits your needs and preferences.
