Accommodation and Supported Living

Living independently means having control over your own life and being able to make your own choices. This can include choosing to live with flatmates who share similar interests and support needs or living on your own. When you are independent, you have the freedom to determine how you want your life to be and how you want to achieve your goals. This may involve learning new skills, such as cooking or budgeting, or taking care of practical tasks like cleaning the house. Ultimately, living independently allows you to pursue your own passions and interests and shape your life in the way that best suits you.

Respite Services

Respite services are designed to provide a safe and relaxing space for people with disabilities to take a break from their daily routines. Our team of trained professionals is dedicated to helping you unwind and enjoy your time away.

Our disability respite services offer stays for people with disabilities to relax or simply take a break. This can be a mini break, a planned vacation, or a place to stay while family or caregivers take time away from their daily routines. Everyone deserves a break and the opportunity to experience living somewhere new, even temporarily. From freshly prepared meals to memorable activities, Disability Care 4 U Pty Ltd provides excellent disability respite services to ensure you have a stress-free experience.

We offer short, medium, and long-term options under Short-Term Accommodation (STA) as part of your NDIS funding. In addition, we offer emergency respite accommodation for people with more complex needs or those experiencing a crisis and needing unplanned support.

Support

Support Coordination

If you have an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) plan, you have the freedom to choose which service providers you work with. While some people prefer to find and coordinate their own services, this can be challenging. That's where Support Coordination comes in.

Support Coordinators are professionals who can help you identify mainstream and other disability services that are suitable for you. There are three levels of support coordination that can be included in your NDIS plan: support connection, coordination of supports, and specialist support coordination. These different levels of support can help you navigate the process of finding and accessing the services you need.
