This area focuses on assisting NDIS members to thrive in a shared living setting, whether the arrangement is temporary or long-term. Participants will be aided and/or supervised while they go about their daily tasks at home, allowing them to live as freely and autonomously as possible. This registration group includes short-term lodging and assistance (such as respite care).

Shared living arrangements are ideal for NDIS members who do not enjoy living alone and prefer the company and companionship of their housemates. Shared living situations provide individuals with an excellent opportunity to improve their social skills by meeting and befriending new people, as well as learning how to help one another live independently.

Typically, the arrangement will include a living unit in which two or more people with similar requirements live together. In addition to receiving assistance from outside organizations, residents assist one another in completing everyday activities and sharing costs, forming long-lasting friendships in the process.
