What Are NDIS Housing Options in Western Australia?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) gives people with disability more choice and control over where and how they live. Housing is a big part of that, and there are several different options designed to meet different needs.

At Elmur Community Services, we support participants by helping them understand their NDIS housing options in Western Australia and guiding them through the process. Whether it’s applying for SDA, finding a SIL arrangement, or exploring short-term solutions, we’re here to make things easier.

Types of NDIS Housing Options in WA

Here are the main housing supports available through the NDIS:

🟢 Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) – Homes designed for people with very high support needs, with accessibility features like wider doorways, modified bathrooms, and assistive technology.
🟢 Supported Independent Living (SIL) – Assistance with everyday activities such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care while living in a shared or individual home.
🟢 Individualised Living Options (ILO) – Flexible living setups that allow participants to decide who they live with, where they live, and how their supports are delivered.
