Short Term Accommodation

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the essential support you receive at home, to allow you to live independently. It applies to people with a disability who require access to 24/7 support. 

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a type of housing designed for people who have very high support needs and require specialist housing solutions like ceiling hoists, automatic doors and other major physical adjustments to their living space.

For people who want to apply for SIL or SDA, you will need to have approval from the NDIA to say you are eligible. If you don't have approval yet and would like to get started, give us a call on 1800 275 753 and we will guide you through the steps involved. 

Depending on what you need, NDIS categories related to housing are "Improved Living Arrangements", "Home Modifications", and "Assistance with Daily Life". This might include specialist housing solutions, equipment for your home, or assistance with household tasks.

For more information, speak to your NDIS planner, or call us on 1800 275 753.

We can provide assistance in your own home for as often as you like, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is called in-home support. You can find out more information here: cpl.org.au/disability-services/home-support

Respite care provides adults with disability with a safe and supportive place to stay for a short period. It can offer a change of environment, opportunities to build independence and a planned break for family members or carers.

Short-Term Accommodation, often called STA or respite, provides temporary accommodation and support away from your usual home. The support provided is tailored to your individual needs, preferences and goals.

Olsen House provides Short-Term Accommodation for adults with disability. Our team will talk with you, your family or carer, and your support network to understand your needs and determine whether the house is suitable for you.

Yes. Olsen House is fully accessible and has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sensory room. Before your stay, we can discuss your accessibility and support requirements with you.

Support is planned around each guest’s individual needs, routines and goals. Contact CPL to discuss the assistance you require and what can be provided during your stay.

Before your stay, the CPL team will let you know what to bring. This may include clothing, medication, personal items, mobility equipment and anything that helps you feel comfortable.

Short-Term Accommodation may be available through eligible NDIS funding. Because every plan and situation is different, speak with your support coordinator, plan manager or the CPL team about your circumstances.
