Do you know the difference between Fully Accessible (FA) vs High Physical Support (HPS) in NDIS SDA Accommodation?

In this highlight from Outreach, we explore the key differences in design features between Fully Accessible and High Physical Support homes.

While a Fully Accessible home is built mainly for individuals using a manual wheelchair, High Physical Support takes accessibility to the next level for power wheelchair users and complex physical care needs. HPS homes include essential features like ceiling hoists, temperature control for every room, and emergency backup power supplies so essential equipment like wheelchairs and ventilators keep running even during a blackout.

🎧 Watch the clip and help spread the word: Who in your network needs to understand these SDA design differences?

NDIS SDA Accommodation: Keeping family together with Appendix H

In this highlight from Outreach, Vivien Williams (National Business Development Manager at SDA Living Australia) busts a common myth about Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), that moving into an SDA home means you have to live with other participants, but you don't!

Through funding options like Appendix H, NDIS participants can live in a purpose-built SDA home while staying together with their family. By working closely with property owners, it's possible to find arrangements where participants get to live with their loved ones, go back to work, and enjoy an accessible space designed just for them.

🎧 Watch the clip and help spread the word: Who in your network needs to know about this SDA housing option?

Empowering independence through smart technology in NDIS SDA Accommodation

In this highlight from Outreach, we explore how integrated smart home technology like voice-activated Alexa systems is revolutionising Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).

From turning on lights to opening blinds with a simple voice command, smart home technology gives NDIS participants control over their everyday space. While it won't work for everyone, for many people it means needing less help from support workers for basic tasks, giving them back independence, freedom, and control in their own home.

Building connections that matter at the CARE Melton Expo! 🌟
A huge thank you to everyone who dropped by the I-Help Disability Services stall at Cobblebank Stadium today!
It was a fantastic turnout and a privilege to connect directly with participants, families, and fellow NDIS professionals. We had great discussions around our Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes and Core Supports, exploring how we can continue to empower individuals to live independently and stay connected to their community.
A special highlight was connecting with Mayor Melton City Council, Cr Lara Carli.
Thank you to the Melton City Council team for putting together such a well-organised event.

12/10/2026

National Carers Week (11–17 October) is our chance to celebrate and say thank you to the more than 3 million Australians who give unpaid care to a family member or friend.

Under this year’s theme, “Care for a carer: Making carers visible,” we want to shine a light on the incredible family members, friends, and advocates who support individuals living with disabilities every single day. Caring for someone with a disability involves a unique blend of physical, emotional, and navigational dedication, often behind closed doors. Ensuring our carers are supported means ensuring participants thrive too.

Here are a few meaningful ways you can stand by a disability carer today:
• Check-in regularly: A quick phone call or message to ask how they are doing matters.
• Offer a break: Assist with respite by stepping in so they can take a breather or run personal errands.
• Acknowledge and appreciate: Validate the tireless effort, advocacy, and love they pour into their role.
• Initiate support: Don't wait for them to ask, offer specific help like dropping off a meal or helping with transport.
• Encourage self-care: Remind them that taking time for themselves isn't selfish, it's necessary.

With warmer weather on the way, emergency preparedness is more critical than ever. In this Outreach highlight, Tim Marchinton from CFA Victoria explains the importance of putting people in the "front seat" of their safety, encouraging everyone to pack a ready-to-go bag with essential medications, phone chargers, and a battery radio for emergency broadcasts, while ensuring the VicEmergency app is active for early warnings.

For NDIS participants and aged care participants, having a pre-packed "Go Bag" stocked with extra prescription medications, specialised equipment, and printed care plans ensures that support workers and emergency services can respond seamlessly without delaying evacuation when catastrophic conditions hit.

Preparing early makes all the difference. Reviewing your emergency plan ahead of the summer heat helps set up every individual and support network for the best possible outcome.
