Supported Independent Living

We work with participants, families and housing providers to design living arrangements that are safe, stable and genuinely feel like home.

How we personalise this support

We build the roster around the household — not the other way around — and involve the participant in decisions about who supports them and how the home runs.

Who delivers this support

  • NDIS Worker Screening for all workers in a participant's home
  • First aid and CPR currency
  • Training in the participant's specific support plan before a first shift

Ask us which checks and competencies apply to the worker being proposed for you.

Outcomes we work towards

  • Stable tenancies and fewer placement breakdowns
  • Clear, predictable daily support
  • Participants involved in decisions about their home

Funding and costs

Prices depend on the service, time, location and staffing, in line with current NDIS pricing rules. We explain proposed rates and any travel or cancellation charges before support begins, and include agreed costs in your service agreement.

IDIM Care provides supports to eligible NDIS participants. The funding arrangements we can accept depend on the service and how your plan is managed. Contact us and we will confirm whether we can support you.
