Disability Accommodation and NDIS Support Services

Our respite accommodation offers the short period of rest or relief that you might be seeking. Whether you are a person living with a disability in need of short-term respite or a family member interested in the specialised living options that we offer, we are here to help. Our specially designed housing facilities are located in Moonee Ponds, Thornbury and Bacchus Marsh.

As part of the NDIS, Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding allows for workers to support participants of the scheme to live independently in the comfort of their own home. What’s more, the funding is also available to people living in Specialist Disability Accommodation. Funding for SIL includes providing assistance for activities and tasks within the household.

If you have specific needs and requirements, the NDIS also provides Specialist Disability Accommodation, also known as SDA. This type of accommodation offers a home which has been specifically designed to assist and support people living with disability. What’s more, the shared supported accommodation provides a source of social connection and stimulation.

When it comes to achieving your NDIS goals and working through the NDIS scheme, RSA is here to help. The services we offer through our support coordination are extensive and take out the guess-work. No matter what your individual needs, our team of qualified and knowledgeable professionals will assist you in working through the NDIS to both understand the scheme and implement the plan best suited to you.

Whilst there are many transportation options on offer, we recognise that some do not always meet the needs and requirements of people living with disability. This section provides you with up-to-date information about the services we provide as well as the public transport options available in Melbourne, Victoria. We offer return transfers from your home to a facility for anyone using our accommodation services.

So, just what is the NDIS and what does it stand for? Well, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an initiative by the Australian Government which provides $22 billion in annual funding to people living with disability; both permanent and significant. Whilst the scheme can provide great financial relief, it can also be confusing when it comes to determining what you can claim and what funding you can receive.
