Accommodation & tenancy support

Housing applications and tenancy responsibilities can be difficult to navigate. We provide practical assistance with agreed housing-related tasks, guided by your preferences and disability support needs. Enquire across Greater Melbourne, Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham and Geelong.

Support for your everyday life

Get support with the steps involved in finding and keeping a home. Help with the practical tasks involved in finding suitable housing and maintaining a tenancy.

  • Clarifying what you need in a home

    Organising your location preferences, accessibility needs and the information needed to explore options.

  • Preparing application information

    Helping gather relevant documents and work through the practical steps of an application.

  • Preparing questions and appointments

    Assistance to organise questions for a housing provider or prepare for a housing-related appointment.

  • Understanding everyday tenancy tasks

    Practical help to identify dates, responsibilities and actions in the information provided by your housing provider.

  • Communicating about tenancy matters

    Support to prepare a question or communicate a housing concern, with your consent and within the agreed role.

  • Keeping housing information organised

    Help to keep relevant letters, contact details and reminders together so important tasks are easier to follow.

We agree on the activities, suitability and scope with you before support begins.

A personal approach to your support

AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

You might have found a rental option but feel overwhelmed by the application. Support could help you make a document checklist, organise the information you already have and prepare questions for the housing provider. The housing provider makes the tenancy decision.

Support shaped around you

The right support begins with understanding your goals, the things that matter to you and how you prefer to be supported.

Working through housing options

You want help to organise your preferences, access needs and questions about potential accommodation.

Managing application tasks

You need practical assistance to gather information or work through a housing application.

Keeping up with tenancy responsibilities

Prompts, organisation or help communicating would make it easier to manage agreed tenancy tasks.

Start with your housing situation

Tell us whether you are exploring options, applying for a tenancy or needing help with an existing arrangement.

Information and permission

We agree on which information is needed and whether you want help communicating with a housing provider or another service.

Clear tasks and responsibilities

The assistance, relevant dates and responsibilities of everyone involved are discussed before work begins.

Making support work for you

We discuss the details together, so you know what to expect before you decide.

Funding and costs

NDIS accommodation and tenancy assistance concerns disability-related support with housing tasks. The assistance must fit your plan and is separate from the housing decision itself.

Rent, bonds, mortgage payments and utilities are ordinary housing costs rather than the cost of this support service. We explain the fees for our agreed assistance before you proceed.

Before you decide, we explain your service agreement, how to request changes and how to give feedback.

We support people across Greater Melbourne, including Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham, Point Cook, Werribee, Tarneit and Truganina, as well as Geelong. Tell us your suburb so we can confirm local availability.

YOUR NEXT STEP

How do I get started?

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share your goals, suburb and preferred way to contact you. You can involve someone you trust.

  2. Agree on the details

    Together, we confirm suitable support, available times, funding and costs. We explain the service agreement before you decide.

  3. Start with a clear plan

    Once you agree, we arrange the first visit and explain how to ask questions, give feedback or change your support.

You can contact us yourself, or ask a family member, carer or support coordinator to help. An enquiry does not book a service.
