Our Supported Accommodation Options
Shared Accommodation
Our shared accommodation is for people with disability who require support with everyday living. Our shared supported accommodation customers can access trained staff 24 hours a day and live in homes which blend into the community.
We have more than 70 houses in metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia. This large number of houses allows us to offer some flexibility to support you in where you want to live. We believe you should have choice and control over your living arrangements.
Independent Living Options
If you live in your own home, we can provide you with drop-in support. This may include support with meal preparation, budgeting, shopping and accessing your community.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
If you have a disability, obtaining suitable accommodation that meets your needs can be challenging. In order to address a lack of accessible housing options for people with disability, the NDIS has created a funding stream called Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
SDA dwellings are bespoke houses designed and built to meet the needs of specific individuals with disability who have very high support needs. We work with property developers across WA to provide supported independent living services within Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes.

Click on each question to read the answer!
Does the NDIS help with housing?
The NDIS can help participants to live independently. There are different types of home and living supports that the NDIS can fund. Some supports include supported independent living (SIL), individualised living options (ILO), short-term accommodation (STA) and specialist disability accommodation (SDA). For more information, visit the NDIS website here.
What is SDA?

These housing options are designed to meet the needs of participants who require specialist housing solutions to assist with the delivery of their support.
Learn more about our Specialist Disability Accommodation services.
What is SIL?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is paid personal supports that help people with disability to complete daily tasks and increase their independence. This may include support with meal preparation and personal care.
What is the criteria for Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
SIL funding is typically for people with disability who need 24/7 support while living in a shared home. The amount of SIL funding received is dependant on the level and type of support an individual needs to live as independently as possible. For more information on the factors NDIS planners consider when making this decision, visit the NDIS Supported Independent Living for Participants page here.
Where can I find shared homes for SIL?
There are many disability service providers who provide shared accommodation. A support coordinator can help you to navigate the process of finding a home, and will liaise directly with service providers, like Activ, on your behalf.
What are the costs of SIL?
SIL funding covers the costs of having support staff in a supported accommodation house. The level of funding will differ depending on the level of support required. The cost of support does not include rent, transport costs, groceries or usual living expenses.
What is the difference between SDA and SIL?
SIL refers to the funding for the support services that are delivered in an accommodation house. SDA refers to the home in which those services are delivered. SDA homes are purpose-built for people with disability who require specialist housing solutions.
