This comprehensive guide from Caring Hearts offers insights into the various NDIS disability accommodation models offered in Melbourne.
What is NDIS Disability Accommodation?
NDIS disability accommodation provides suitable rental housing solutions for participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. NDIS registered providers design, construct, manage and assist participants in accessing these dwellings tailored to accessibility.
Various Disability Accommodation Models
There are three main types of disability accommodation offered through the NDIS in Melbourne:
Group Homes
