Where you want to live
There is no place like home – Everyone needs a place to call their own. A place where we can relax and unwind. Where we can make choices and gain a sense of independence. Or maybe a place where we feel part of a family.
Here at Interchange, we understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ in terms of feeling at home and we are here to help you explore your options. As part of your NDIS plan, you might be able to use ‘Exploration & Design’ or ‘Core Funding’ to discover housing options that can help you live a good life – a life you choose.
Supported and Independent Living (SIL/ILO) is help with and/or supervision of daily tasks to develop the skills you need to live as independently as possible. With years of experience, we can assist you in finding a home of your own, supporting your growing independence while also being there whenever you need us. We have many specialist disability accommodation options available. From supporting you for a few hours a day to 24 hours/ 7 days a week – We provide you with the support you want and need to feel comfortable and secure living in a home of your choice.
Here are some of the Home & Living options we can help you explore:
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
- Short-Term Accommodation (STA)
- Host Arrangements
- Shared Living Arrangements
