There are several types of disability accommodation available in the Melbourne area to assist individuals with different needs:

 

 

Supported Living

 

Supported Independent Living offers people with disabilities the opportunity to live on their own with support from carers. This option is created to help participants with everyday activities, such as personal care, cooking, and household chores.

 

 

Neurological Support

 

People with neurological disorders can access specialized assistance tailored to their requirements. This includes physiotherapy, occupational support, and other therapies to improve their well-being.

 

 

Engaging in the Community

 

Community participation programs aim to help individuals with disabilities participate in social events. This can involve group outings, learning opportunities, and volunteer work to improve their interaction and sense of belonging.

 

 

Self-Sufficient Living

 

Independent living options offer people with disabilities the chance to live independently with minimal assistance. These choices promote independence and are suitable for individuals who can manage most of their everyday activities with little assistance.

 

 

Temporary Housing

 

Short term accommodation is created for individuals who require a place to stay for a brief time. This can be due to different circumstances, such as transitions between long-term housing or temporary relief for carers.

 

 

Mid-Term Housing

Specialist Living Options

 

Specialist Disability Accommodation is created for individuals with extreme functional impairments. These dwellings have accessible features that enable participants to live more self-sufficiently and safely. The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides financial support for eligible participants to utilize SDA.
