Making the move into NDIS-supported living can be both exciting and a little daunting. For people living with disability and their families, it’s a big step towards greater independence, but it can come with many questions.
That’s why we focus on supporting each individual through every part of the process, making the transition feel natural and well-supported.
If you or someone you care about is preparing to move into NDIS-supported living, here are a few key things to help make the experience as smooth and positive as possible.
1. Put the Person at the Centre
Everyone deserves to feel heard and in control of their life. The best way to start the transition is through person-centred planning. It’s about making sure the individual’s choices, routines, and goals are at the heart of everything, from choosing the right place to live to the type of support needed each day.
We work with you to tailor a plan that fits. Whether you’re after a quieter home environment or want to stay active in the community, we’ll help you find the right match.
2. Get Familiar Before You Move In
It’s normal to feel unsure about something new. Visiting the house in advance, meeting housemates, and spending a bit of time getting to know the space can really help ease those nerves. If possible, start with a few short visits or maybe even a trial overnight stay.
We encourage all new participants to visit our NDIS-supported living homes before moving in. That way, the space already feels familiar and welcoming on day one.
3. Choose the Right Provider
Having the right people in your corner makes a world of difference. You want a provider who doesn’t just tick boxes but takes the time to get to know you, your needs, and your goals.
With over five decades of experience, we’ve built a reputation for providing genuine, person-first support. From help with everyday tasks to assistance with community engagement, our team is here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
4. Take Your Time
Moving out of home, especially if you’ve been living with family, can take time to get used to. It doesn’t have to happen all at once. A gradual move can be less overwhelming and give everyone the chance to adjust at their own pace.
A slow and steady approach is often the best one. We support short stays and gradual introductions to NDIS Supported Living, so the shift feels more like a natural next step rather than a big leap.
5. Surround Yourself with the Right Support
Having a strong support network can really make the difference. Whether it’s friends, family, a support coordinator, or trusted staff, knowing you’ve got people looking out for you builds confidence and creates a real sense of belonging.
We don’t just provide services; we build community. Our homes are designed to be warm, inclusive places where friendships are formed and independence is nurtured.
