Under the NDIS, Specialist Disability Accommodation is a type of housing for people who have extreme functional impairment, or very high support needs.

  • Fully Accessible – these are homes with a high level of physical access for people who have physical challenges (e.g., if you use a powered wheelchair at home). These homes have features that make daily tasks easier, such as eating, showering and cooking. They also have assistive technology to aid independence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does SDA cost?

If you are deemed eligible by the NDIA, NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation in Geelong can be included as a support in your NDIS plan, which means that the cost of your NDIS housing is covered by funds from your plan.

The NDIA sets a price limit for supports like Specialist Disability Accommodation, which is the maximum amount a registered provider can charge you. Providers then decide the price they will charge, based on the cost of delivering accessible housing to you. You can negotiate the price with your provider, though keep in mind that the cost covers only the housing, not the services or supports you receive while living there.

To be eligible for NDIS SDA in Geelong, you must have extreme functional impairment or/and very high support needs. A good first step is to talk to your NDIS support coordinator. They can help you show the NDIS that you are eligible for this type of support. This will involve getting a Housing Assessment Report done, which is a comprehensive assessment that works out whether you’re eligible, and what type of disability accommodation on the Geelong would suit your needs.

Home Caring is a NDIS registered SDA provider in Geelong. We offer quality homes where you can be supported to reach your goals. For more information, please get in touch and chat to one of our friendly team members.

Just like moving into any new home, there are lots of things to consider when moving into disability accommodation, especially if you’re planning on living there long term. It’s a good idea to do research before making a decision by talking to the providers, asking other people about their experience with them, and visiting the home so you can get a feel for what living there would be like.

Some questions to ask yourself when considering new disability accommodation are:

  • Is the provider registered with the NDIS, and can I be sure that the home is of a high standard?
  • Is the home accessible based on my needs? Will I be able to live independently and take care of myself?
  • Will I be able to access all the supports I need while living there?
  • Do I like the spaces in the home? Can I see myself enjoying living here?
  • Is the home located close to things I need? e.g. shops, public transport, parks for exercise
  • Will I be able to get along with my potential housemates? Is there an opportunity to meet them before I move in?
  • What happens if I have an issue in my home? Does the provider have a process for dealing with complaints?
  • Are there opportunities for me to take part in activities I enjoy? (e.g. day programs, classes, capacity building)
  • How far away will I be from my support network? Is it in a preferred location, close to friends and family?
  • Is the home a safe space for me to live in? (e.g. safe parking, secure building, communications technology)
  • Does the home have conveniences such as WiFi, air conditioning and good appliances?
  • Am I happy with the providers? Do I feel comfortable asking questions and raising issues?

The Australian Government has announced significant changes to the aged care system introducing the Support at Home program set to commence on 1 July 2025. This initiative aims to enhance support for older Australians enabling them to remain in their homes longer and receive more personalised care.

Key Features of the Support at Home Program:

• Reduced Wait Times: The program will shorten the waiting period for in-home aged care services ensuring timely assistance for those in need.

• Tailored Support Levels: Support at Home introduces eight levels of ongoing care replacing the previous four, to better match individual needs.

• No Caps on Cleaning and Gardening: Unlike previous programs there will be no annual caps on cleaning and gardening services allowing for more comprehensive support.

• Care Management Cap: A 10% cap on care management costs will remain in place to maintain affordability.

• Assistive Technology Access: The program will expedite access to assistive devices like walkers and wheelchairs enhancing mobility and independence.

• Increased Support Funding: The maximum support level will rise from $61,000 to $78,000, providing more resources for those with complex needs.

• Restorative and Allied Health Services: There will be a temporary funding boost for restorative and allied health services, aiding recovery and well-being.

• Palliative Care Support: The program includes provisions for palliative care allowing older Australians to spend their final weeks at home surrounded by loved ones.

Staged Implementation of Price Caps:

Price caps on services will be phased in starting from 1 July 2026. For the first year providers will continue to set their own prices similar to the current Home Care Packages program. In early 2025, consultations will be held with older people, advocates, families, carers and the sector to ensure fair pricing and robust consumer protections during this transition.

No Worse Off Principle:

To protect existing Home Care Package recipients, the government has introduced the “No Worse Off” principle:

• Grandfathering: Individuals approved for a Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024 will transition to the new system without financial disadvantage.

• Fee Structure: If you were a full-rate pensioner paying no fees under your Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024, you will continue to pay no fees under Support at Home. If you were required to pay fees, you will pay the same or less under the new program.

At Home Caring we are dedicated to supporting our older community members through these changes. We are committed to ensuring the financial safety and well-being of our clients providing personalised care that aligns with the new Support at Home program. Our team is here to assist you in navigating these updates, ensuring you receive the care and support you deserve. 🩵
