The NDIS is an Australian Government scheme that provides funding for people with disabilities and their carers. NDIS Accommodation is an NDIS funded service that can be used to help support the cost of living in your own home.
What should I know about this?
NDIS accommodation services may provide you with:
– NDIS funded rent payments if you live in private rented accommodation; or
– A lump-sum payment may be used to buy, build or adapt your own home; or
– Hire purchase of a house on behalf of NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) and NDIS participants
– NDIS funds to pay for a home modification.
The NDIS can provide information about what type of accommodation is available in your region and the types of costs that an Accommodation package may cover. However, it’s important to note that there are specific eligibility requirements you need to meet before being able to access this service. You must have a permanent disability as defined under the Disability Act 2006 (NSW) and be over 18 years old at the time of applying for assistance with NDIS housing-related expenses.
We hope this information has been helpful to you.
