NDIS SDA in Wollongong

Home Caring provides NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation in Wollongong and its surrounding suburbs. These are homes that are designed and built to meet the needs of people living with extreme functional impairment, or who have very high support needs.

If you are eligible for SDA by the NDIA, funding for this type of housing will be included in your personalised NDIS plan. This covers the cost of the home you live in, but not the supports you might receive in that home, as this is funded through a different type of support.

Home Caring is registered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme’s Quality and Safeguards Commission to provide high quality SDA accommodation in Wollongong.

Our exceptional homes include the following NDIS accessible design requirements:

  • Improved Liveability – home features include safe and continuous accessways for people with physical impairments, physical access provision, accessible bathrooms and kitchens, special lighting and sensory features, and improved wayfinding.
  • Robust – these are resilient homes with robust construction that reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others (for example, secure doors and windows) and enough space to support people with complex behaviours.
  • 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.
  • High Physical Support – these homes come with special features that enable people with very high needs to access the support they need, such as a ceiling hoist in the bedroom, backup power supply in case of a power outage, wide doors to all room, communication technology, and home automation.

Looking for Specialist Disability Accommodation Providers in Wollongong? We’d love to help. Our homes aren’t just accessible – they’re also modern and appealing spaces you’ll be proud to live in. All of our places are located in sought-after suburbs, conveniently close to amenities such as shopping centres, medical facilities and hospitals, employment and education opportunities, recreation spaces such as parks and accessible nature tracks, restaurants and popular eateries.

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. 🩵
