Key Insights:
Eligibility for NDIS Home and Living Supports: NDIS funds supports for participants with significant impairments that impact home management, requiring evidence these needs can’t be met by other systems. Supports include home modifications, personal care, and assistance with daily living.

Types of Supports: These include Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Short-Term Accommodation (STA), Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA), Supported Independent Living (SIL), and Individualised Living Options (ILO) to improve independence and provide suitable housing.

Role of Support Coordinators: Coordinators help participants understand needs, research housing options, gather reports, and navigate NDIS processes, ensuring ongoing support and empowering participants in their choices.
