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.
