NDIS Assistance With Daily Life Tasks in Melbourne
This service helps participants receive care and support within a variety of different shared living arrangements such as SIL, STA, MTA, and ILO. It is designed to try and allow participants to live as independently and autonomously as possible whilst still being in a safe and supportive environment.
The care provided will normally include all aspects of personal care, such as hygiene requirements and other day-to-day supports that participants require regularly.
The different living arrangements are detailed and explained as follows:
Supported Independent Living (SIL) – This set of support provides assistance with, or supervision of, daily life in a shared living environment. Usually, 2-7 participants reside and receive support usually of a continuous nature (up to 24/7).
- Short Term Accommodation (STA) – Short-Term Accommodation, including respite, is funding for support and accommodation for a short time away from a participant’s usual home. It covers the cost of their care and accommodation for up to 14 days at any one time. It can be used to give a participant’s usual carers a break, give the participant a new environment and sometimes even holidays.
- Medium Term Accomodation (MTA) – Medium Term Accommodation is funding for somewhere to live if the participants can’t move into their long-term homes yet because their disability supports are not ready. To be eligible, they must be in the process of moving into a long-term home.
- Individual Living Options (ILO) – Individual living options (ILO) are living arrangements that focus on the individual. They include Living Alone, Co-Residency, Host Arrangements, and Living Together options. They are an alternative to group home services. This is a new way for the NDIS to fund flexible, contemporary, and personalised home and living support packages for people with low to moderate disability support needs.
