Language support in Melbourne
Melbourne has a large Mandarin-speaking community (8.4% of residents), so finding NDIS housing options in a shared language matters here. These are the main languages spoken at home locally (ABS Census 2021). When you get matched, ask providers which of their staff speak your language and whether they can keep that worker as your regular. Interpreters are free through TIS National for NDIS appointments, and My Aged Care can arrange them for aged care assessments.
Speaker counts are persons using the language at home in this postcode. Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2021 (table G13). Carevo connects families with providers and does not deliver care itself.

How Much Does Accommodation Support Cost in Melbourne?
Accommodation support costs in Melbourne vary considerably depending on the type of housing arrangement and the level of daily support required. For Supported Independent Living (SIL), costs are typically funded through the NDIS and are not paid directly by the participant. For other accommodation types such as Short Term Accommodation (STA) or Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), costs are drawn from separate NDIS budget categories.
NDIS pricing for accommodation support is governed by the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. SIL funding is based on an assessment of the support hours required each day and is quoted separately from rent and living costs. Participants pay rent from their own income or Disability Support Pension, not from their NDIS plan.
Short Term Accommodation (respite) is funded through NDIS Core Supports and typically runs at a daily rate that covers both accommodation and support costs. Rates depend on the level of support required and whether the accommodation is a shared or individual arrangement.
Medium Term Accommodation is available for up to 90 days and covers situations where a participant is transitioning between homes or waiting for a long-term housing solution to be set up. This is funded separately in the NDIS plan.
| Time | Indicative rate |
|---|---|
| SIL (Supported Independent Living) - shared | NDIS funded, varies by support hours |
| SIL (Supported Independent Living) - individual | NDIS funded, varies by support hours |
| Short Term Accommodation (respite) - standard | $400 - $700/night |
| Short Term Accommodation - high support | $700 - $1,200/night |
| Medium Term Accommodation | NDIS funded, up to 90 days |
| Transitional housing support | NDIS funded, varies |
SIL costs are not paid by participants directly. Rent and living expenses are separate from NDIS support funding. Short Term Accommodation rates are indicative and vary by provider and support intensity. Refer to the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits for maximum allowable rates.
How to Pay for Accommodation Support in Melbourne
Accommodation support in Melbourne is primarily funded through the NDIS, with the type of support determining which budget category applies. Understanding which category covers your needs is important before approaching providers.
NDIS Core Supports: Short Term Accommodation and Assistance with Daily Life costs are drawn from Core Supports. If you need temporary accommodation while your permanent housing is arranged, or regular respite in a supported setting, this is the relevant funding category. Self-managed and plan-managed participants have more choice in selecting providers.
NDIS SIL Funding: Supported Independent Living is a separate NDIS support category. The NDIA assesses your support needs and includes SIL funding in your plan if you meet the criteria. SIL providers receive funding directly based on the agreed support quota. Participants are responsible for their own rent and board costs, which are typically covered through the Disability Support Pension and any Rent Assistance entitlements.
NDIS Medium Term Accommodation: If you are waiting for a long-term housing solution, your plan may include Medium Term Accommodation funding. This covers accommodation costs for up to 90 days and requires a clear pathway to long-term housing to be documented in your plan.
Private payment: Some families choose to privately fund accommodation support arrangements, particularly where NDIS access has not yet been granted or where a bespoke arrangement is needed. Providers can advise on private fee structures.
What to Expect from Accommodation Support in Melbourne
Accommodation support covers a range of housing arrangements, from short stays through to long-term shared living with daily support. The process differs depending on which type you are pursuing.
For Supported Independent Living, the process begins with a housing needs assessment. A provider, support coordinator, or your LAC can help gather evidence for your NDIS plan to include SIL funding. Once your plan includes SIL, you can explore vacancies with registered SIL providers in Melbourne. Most SIL homes involve shared living with other participants, and rosters of support are built around the collective needs of everyone in the home.
For Short Term Accommodation, the booking process is more straightforward. You or your support coordinator contact a provider, confirm availability, and book using your NDIS Core Supports budget. STA can be used for respite, emergency accommodation, or to trial a supported living arrangement before committing to a longer-term option.
You should expect providers to conduct an intake assessment before confirming a placement. This covers your support needs, any behavioural or medical considerations, and compatibility with existing residents in shared settings. Providers are required to involve you in decisions about your living arrangements.
If a current arrangement is not working, you have the right to explore other options. A support coordinator or NDIS advocate can assist you in transitioning to a different provider or housing arrangement without disrupting your overall plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do providers respond to enquiries in Melbourne?
Based on 653 real provider connections on Carevo in Melbourne, providers respond with a median of 3 minutes. 78% of enquiries are connected with a provider within 1 hour, and 94% within 24 hours.
What NDIS housing options are available in Melbourne?
NDIS housing options available in Melbourne include Supported Independent Living (SIL), where you live in shared or individual housing with daily support funded through your NDIS plan; Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), which is purpose-built housing for people with very high support needs or extreme functional impairment; Short Term Accommodation for respite or temporary stays; and Medium Term Accommodation for transitional periods of up to 90 days. Carevo connects you with 10 NDIS accommodation providers in Melbourne across these categories.
How many accommodation support providers are there in Melbourne?
There are currently 10 accommodation support providers serving Melbourne listed on Carevo. These include NDIS registered SIL providers, Short Term Accommodation operators, and organisations that assist with NDIS housing transitions and tenancy support.
How much does accommodation support cost in Melbourne?
Costs vary by accommodation type. SIL support is funded through the NDIS and is not paid directly by participants. Short Term Accommodation rates typically range from $400 to $1,200 per night depending on support intensity. Rent and living costs in all accommodation types are separate from NDIS support funding.
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL (Supported Independent Living) refers to the daily support provided to help a person live in their home, such as personal care, cooking assistance, and overnight support. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) refers to the physical housing itself, designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. A participant can receive SDA funding for the dwelling and SIL funding for the support delivered inside it, though these are assessed and funded separately.
Can I choose who I live with in a SIL home?
You have the right to be involved in decisions about your living arrangements, including who you share a home with. Providers are required to consider compatibility when placing participants in shared supported living. If a living arrangement is not suitable, you can raise this with your provider, support coordinator, or the NDIS Commission.
How do I get SIL funding in my NDIS plan?
SIL funding is not automatically included in an NDIS plan. You need to provide evidence of your support needs, typically through a SIL quote prepared by a registered SIL provider, along with supporting assessments from allied health professionals. A support coordinator can help you gather this evidence and present it to the NDIA.
What is Short Term Accommodation used for?
Short Term Accommodation covers temporary supported accommodation for up to 14 days at a time. It is commonly used for respite (giving carers and participants a break), emergency accommodation, trialling supported living arrangements, or bridging periods between longer-term placements. STA funding is included in NDIS Core Supports.
Can I use accommodation support funding if I live with family?
SIL funding is generally intended for participants who do not live with family carers. If you live with family, your NDIS plan is more likely to include in-home support through Core Supports rather than SIL. That said, some families use Short Term Accommodation to access periodic respite. Speak with your LAC or support coordinator to understand what best fits your situation.
What should I ask an accommodation support provider before committing?
Ask about staff qualifications, staff-to-participant ratios, how they handle after-hours and emergency situations, what their vacancy process looks like, how they manage compatibility between residents, and their complaints process. Also confirm they hold current NDIS registration and understand your specific support needs.
