Home & Living
STA/Respite, MTA, ILO, SIL & SDA
Home & Living
Living independently is a goal for many people. Being able to develop skills & build capacity and have access to the right supports at the right time means you can achieve your goals to begin or continue to live independently.
There are different types of home & living supports available for NDIS participants and it is important to remember that the NDIS does not fund day-to-day living costs such as rent, groceries, utilities, telephone or internet costs or general household items such as furniture or kitchen equipment so understanding costs & planning a budget are important first steps when exploring your home & living options.
Home & Living Options
-
Short-term accommodation (STA/Respite) - where you stay somewhere else for a short period of time
