Exploring other support options?
How support works in a shared home
Everyone has their own needs and routines. We plan shared support around the people living together.
Everyday shared support
Your Assistants help with personal care, meals and household routines, working with everyone to understand how they like things done.
Support for individual needs
Some activities may need one or more Assistants working directly with you. We'll plan this alongside shared support, based on your needs and NDIS funding.
Support across the day and night
We'll organise the shared team around the household's funded support needs, including evening and overnight assistance.
