Accomodation services
Welcome to Heartfelt Ability Accommodation Services for NDIS Providers. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is transforming the way support services are delivered to people with disabilities in Australia. As an NDIS Provider, we play a crucial role in ensuring individuals receive the best possible care, including suitable accommodation options. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the essential aspects of Accommodation & Tenancy Services within the NDIS framework.
Understanding Accommodation Tenancy Services
Accommodation tenancy services under the NDIS encompass a range of supports designed to help participants find, secure, and maintain suitable living arrangements. These services aim to provide individuals with disabilities a safe and comfortable home environment while promoting their independence and community inclusion. Tenants have the right to live in a safe and well-maintained property, while landlords have the right to receive rent on time and enforce lease terms.
Eligibility Criteria
Before engaging in accommodation tenancy services, it’s essential to understand the eligibility criteria for NDIS participants. Individuals must meet specific requirements, such as having a permanent disability, residing in an NDIS area, and being under the age of 65. Providers should ensure that participants meet these criteria to access the necessary supports.
Service Planning and Assessment
The first step in providing accommodation tenancy services is conducting a thorough assessment of the participant’s needs and goals. This assessment will help tailor the support plan to the individual’s unique requirements, taking into account factors such as their disability, living preferences, and community connections.
Types of Accommodation Supports

Supported Independent Living (SIL):

Finding Suitable Accommodation
