Disability accommodation
Find a great place to come home to.
What is accommodation?
Accommodation is the name for our range of cosy and comfortable home and living options.
Living independently means something different for everyone. Tell us what it looks like for you, and we will help make it happen.
For some people that means a lift to the shops, a social event or a night out with friends in one of our cars.
For others it is having a support person close by, day or night, to share the serious stuff and some laughs along the way.
From finding a home that feels great to come home to, to sorting the daily stuff, Afford is here to make life easier – and a lot more enjoyable.

We offer supported independent living (SIL), specialist disability accommodation (SDA), short term accommodation (STA) (also called respite), medium term accommodation (MTA) (also called transitional housing) and individualised living options (ILO).
SIL stands for supported independent living. SIL is an NDIS support package where you live with other people with disability or on your own. SIL can include support for daily tasks like cooking, cleaning and personal care.
SDA stands for specialist disability accommodation. SDA is for people who need to live in a specialised home with very high levels of support.
Anyone aged over 18 who is living with disability can apply. You can be funded through the NDIS or pay for your supports yourself. We have lots of experience and can help you understand which accommodation option is right for you.
Which type of disability accommodation is right for you will depend on whether you have an NDIS plan and what’s included, or whether you want to pay for your supports yourself. We can make it easy for you to understand your options and what is right for you.
Yes. We regularly update our accommodation vacancies online here. You can also get in touch directly to learn about homes near you.
We know that who you live with matters, so we will chat with you and match you with housemates to have fun with.
Supports can include help with daily living, medication management, connecting with your local community, cooking, going out and about in one of our cars, and person-to-person support whenever you need it.
How much it costs will depend on your funding and needs. Most people use their NDIS plan to cover support expenses. We will talk about any out-of-pocket costs with you first.
It’s important to know that the NDIS SIL support package does not include rent and boarding costs. You can pay for these costs with your Disability Support Pension, Commonwealth Rent Assistance, or other sources of income you may have.
Yes, absolutely. We love to work with your families, carers or support coordinators.
