Frequently asked questions
What is Supported Accommodation in Melbourne?
Supported Accommodation in Melbourne may include local service options, assessment pathways, and support planning connected to a person's goals, needs, funding, and eligibility.
How can Supported Accommodation be funded?
Supported accommodation options may involve NDIS, housing providers, private funding, or other eligibility-based arrangements depending on the accommodation model.
Am I eligible for NDIS funding?
If you're an Australian resident living with a disability, you may qualify for funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). To be eligible, you need to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident between the ages of seven and 64, and have a significant permanent disability that affects various aspects of your life.
Is the NDIS means tested?
No, your assets are not considered when determining eligibility for NDIS funding. Also, receiving NDIS support doesn't affect other forms of income support like the Disability Support Pension or Carer Allowance.
How will my funding be managed?
You have three options for managing your NDIS funding: agency managed, plan managed, and self-managed. Karista can also connect you to Plan Managers.
Can I change providers if I'm not happy?
Yes, you can switch providers if you're not satisfied. Different providers have different notice periods, so be sure to check your service agreement. Inform your current provider of your decision, and they'll guide you through the process.
Can you lose NDIS funding?
Once your current NDIS plan ends, your funding stops. Any remaining funds don't carry over to your new plan. During each plan review, you'll receive a new plan outlining supports and funds for the next period.
What doesn't the NDIS cover?
NDIS funding doesn't cover typical daily expenses like train fares, rent, groceries, phone bills, or entertainment tickets.
