If you're living with a disability, it can be difficult to find the right short term accommodation. This is especially true if your NDIS planning and funding plan indicates that you need a new house or unit. It's important to choose a provider that understands your needs and offers the right services and support facilities. In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on how to choose the best NDIS housing Melbourne providers for your needs:

Decide what your needs are

Choose an NDIS provider who can meet your needs.

A good NDIS provider knows what type of accommodation is right for you, and will work with you to make sure they meet them. They will ask questions about what kind of support you need, how much personal independence and movement you have, and whether there are any specific things that would help with your NDIS plan.

If possible think about the support services that are important to you before choosing a provider. This includes things like meal service, having meals cooked on-site or nearby shops/cafes available (ideally within walking distance). It also includes things like transport to medical appointments or other community activities which may be important for staying involved in your community. The NDIS housing providers we list all offer different types of accommodation at different price points so there’s something here for everyone!

Consider your budget

When looking for short term accommodation, it is important to consider the cost of your NDIS plan. You may also need to take into account other expenses, such as food, clothing and transport.

Remember that not all providers in the NDIS are created equal. Some providers offer cheaper rates than others - but this doesn't necessarily mean they're the best choice for you! Remember that there are many factors that go into determining which provider will be right for you and your family (the quality of care; how close they are to where you live now; whether any friends or family members would like to stay with them etc.).

Services and Support Facilities

When looking for short-term accommodation, you want to ensure you will have access to a range of services and support facilities. For example, if you need assistance with your housework, does the NDIS housing Melbourne provider offer this service? If so, how much would it cost?

Similarly, what are the options for accommodation? It’s important that there is something available that fits with your needs. Is there a choice between shared rooms or private apartments? Can you choose where in an apartment building you live or is it allocated by accident of location on arrival at an NDIS centre? What about cooking facilities – do they allow guests to use the kitchen rather than just having microwave ovens in their room if they prefer not to cook themselves (or simply don’t know how)?

Look for a reputable provider

Once you have narrowed down your search, it's time to look for a reputable provider. The first place to start is the NDIS website. From there, check out their website and Facebook page. If they've got reviews, read them! If you find a provider that ticks all of your boxes and seems reputable, it's time to start the application process. It is important to note that not all centres are able to take on new clients, so make sure you check with them first before applying.

Ask around for recommendations

You should also ask around for recommendations. You can do this by asking your friends, family and work colleagues who they have used. If you are able to find someone who used the service in the past, it is even better! They will be able to tell you about their experience and what they think of the service provider. Finally, if there is anyone else that is in a similar situation as yourself (such as an NDIS housing provider), then don’t hesitate to ask them for advice as well!
