Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that provides daily assistance to participants in their home. It is designed for people with higher support needs who require help or supervision throughout the day and often overnight. Rather than replacing independence, SIL focuses on creating the right balance of support and freedom, giving participants the confidence to live safely, make choices about their daily life, and work towards their long-term goals in a supportive home environment.
When participants have SIL in their NDIS plan, the type of support they receive is shaped around their needs and goals. It may involve personal care such as help with showering, dressing, or grooming, or support with preparing meals and keeping the home clean and comfortable. For many participants, SIL is also about learning and practising important skills that allow them to take more control of their daily life, such as cooking, following a routine, or managing tasks with greater independence. SIL participants might also receive support with taking medication correctly, attending medical appointments, or staying connected with family, friends, and the wider community. For people who require reassurance or care during the night, SIL also provides overnight assistance so that they can rest knowing that help is close at hand.
At West Moreton Care, we see SIL support as a partnership that allows you to live the way you want to while having the right help in place. Our team takes the time to understand your personal goals, routines, and preferences, so that the support you receive feels natural and respectful of your choices. We focus on building your confidence and encouraging independence at every step, while also making sure that you always feel safe and supported. Our support workers are trained, caring, and professional, but most importantly, they are people who listen. They make your daily life easier and help you achieve the lifestyle you want.
While SIL covers many types of personal support, it does not extend to general living costs such as rent, food, or utilities, nor does it replace medical or nursing services. Its purpose is to provide disability-related support in your home that helps you manage your day-to-day life more successfully. If your goal is to live more independently, Supported Independent Living could be the right option for you. Our team is here to guide you through the process, from exploring your home and living options to arranging supports that fit your lifestyle. We will work with you, your family, and your support network to create a plan that feels right for you and evolves as your needs and goals change.

Short Term Accommodation or Respite
Short Term Accommodation (STA), often called respite, is an NDIS-funded support that allows people with disabilities to stay away from their usual home for a short period of time. This might be for a few days, a weekend, or up to 14 days at once, depending on the participant’s plan and goals. It covers accommodation, personal care, meals, and activities, giving you everything they need during their stay. But beyond the basics, STA provides participants with opportunities to step into new experiences, make friends, build important life skills, and take a break from routine. For carers, it offers much-needed rest and peace of mind, knowing that their loved one is being cared for by a professional disability support team.
At West Moreton Care, we believe everyone deserves the chance to recharge, explore, and feel supported. That’s why our Short-Term Accommodation (STA), including respite, is designed to give our participants more than just a temporary place to stay. It’s an opportunity to live fully while receiving the right disability support. We design every STA stay around the participant’s needs and goals, so that they can make the most of the experience. Our approach to STA is flexible and participant-focused. Because STA funding comes from the participant’s NDIS Core budget, they can choose how to use it for a weekend away each month, a block of consecutive days, or occasional stays when the usual supports are not available. Whatever the participant decides, we work closely with them to ensure that their time with us is meaningful, enjoyable, and aligned with their personal goals.
Short Term Accommodation is only funded when it directly supports the person’s disability needs. This might include helping the participant maintain their functional abilities, increase their independence, or take part in activities that matter to them. However, STA won’t usually be funded if the family or informal supports can continue providing care for longer periods, or if the extra support isn’t essential for their future needs.
If you are looking for Short Term Accommodation that combines safety, flexibility, and opportunity, we are here to support you. When you want to take a break, try something new, or give your carers the time they need to recharge, our STA services will be there to make a positive difference in your life. Contact us today to discover how we can help you make the most of your NDIS plan and enjoy the benefits of a short stay that is truly focused on you.
Individualised Living Options
Individualised Living Options (ILO) is a unique type of home and living support under the NDIS that is designed around each person’s vision for their life. Instead of following a conventional disability support model, ILO gives people the chance to choose where they live, who they live with, and the right mix of supports that make their home feel truly their own. Living supports like ILO is essential for helping people with disabilities live with dignity, independence, and choice.
ILO support is very flexible and brings together the right mix of help at home and in the community for people with disabilities. It can include daily assistance, learning new skills, building confidence, and staying connected with family, friends, neighbours, and local groups. Some people prefer living with a host in the host’s home, others choose a housemate arrangement in their own place or a shared rental. The level of support is tailored to the participants needs and goals. ILO journey of an NDIS participant happens in two stages:
Stage 1 – Exploration & Design
In Stage 1, we sit with you as your service provider to understand where and how you want to live, the skills you would like to build, and the mix of informal and paid supports that will make day-to-day life easier. Together, we prepare a clear ILO Service Proposal that records your preferences, who will provide your disability support, how monitoring will happen, and the costs for your package. You remain actively involved, and we make sure the design also fits with any disability supports you use outside the home as well. When your Exploration & Design work is complete, the Service Proposal is submitted for assessment.
Stage 2 – Supports
Once approved, we implement what was designed. As your ILO service provider, we coordinate your supports end-to-end, make sure roles and expectations are clear, and keep your arrangement working smoothly over time. We stay involved throughout your ILO journey by checking in regularly, solving problems early, and adjusting supports as your disability support needs or goals change.
ILO suits people who want choice and control over where and with whom they live, and who benefit from a personalised mix of supports rather than a rostered model. ILO funds supports, not the property itself. It doesn’t cover rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, or payments to informal supports. If you are considering home and living support options, our team can help you compare different choice of supports available under NDIS and design an approach that fits your goals as well as NDIS funding rules.

Assistance with Daily Living
Assistance with Daily Life is a core support category under the NDIS designed to make everyday living easier and more manageable for people with disabilities. This type of support focuses on helping with personal and household tasks that may be difficult to complete alone, ensuring participants can maintain independence and dignity in daily routines. Daily life support can take many forms depending on individual needs. It may include help with getting ready in the morning, preparing meals, or keeping the home clean and safe. It may also involve supervision or assistance with personal care, mobility, or community access. The purpose of this support is not to take away independence, but to provide the right level of help so that everyday tasks are less of a challenge.
Professional and trained support workers deliver Assistance with Daily Life. They approach their work with respect and compassion, ensuring participants feel valued and supported. This type of care goes beyond simply completing task. It is about building confidence, enabling participation in daily life, and creating opportunities for individuals to focus on their goals, hobbies, and community involvement. With the right level of assistance, participants often experience greater self-reliance and improved quality of life.
The inclusion of Assistance with Daily Life funding in an NDIS plan depends on whether it is considered a reasonable and necessary support. This decision is made based on the participant’s needs, goals, and living situation. Preparing well for an NDIS planning meeting can make a significant difference in ensuring the right supports are included. Assistance with Daily Life is ultimately about making day-to-day living more manageable, reducing barriers, and supporting greater independence for people with disabilities.
One of the advantages of the NDIS Core Supports budget, which includes Assistance with Daily Life, is that the funding is generally flexible. This means that money can often be moved around between different Core Supports categories, such as daily activities, transport, consumables, or community participation, depending on what you need most at a given time. For example, if you require more support with personal care or household tasks, you may be able to use a portion of your budget that was originally allocated to another Core category. This flexibility ensures that your funding truly works for you, adapting to your changing needs and giving you greater choice and control over how you live your everyday life.
At West Moreton Care, we recognise that no two participants are the same. That’s why we offer flexible and tailored core support plans, designed to grow with you as your needs change. Reach out to us today if you want to access professional and reliable assistance with your everyday life!
NDIS Community Participation
Social and community participation means getting involved in activities that you enjoy, alongside others in your community. It can look different for everyone. For some, it might mean joining a sports team, attending a pottery class, volunteering, going to movies with a friend, or even catching up at a local café. For others, it could be exploring new hobbies, joining social clubs, or attending community events. Participation looks different for everyone, but the purpose is to feel included, create connections, and strengthen one’s sense of belonging.
Core Supports vs Capacity Building Supports
NDIS Community Participation can be funded in two ways, depending on your plan:
- Core Supports (Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation): Helps you access activities right now. For example, a support worker may assist you to attend a concert, visit the library, or join a group activity.
- Capacity Building Supports (Increased Social and Community Participation): Focuses on building independence for the future. This could include learning to use public transport, developing social skills, joining mentoring programs, or trying new activities that align with your goals.
Both funding types work together to ensure you not only access opportunities today but also build the skills to participate more independently in the future.

NDIS Community Nursing Care
Community nursing care is one of the key types of disability-related health support funded by the NDIS. It provides skilled nursing services at home or in the community, delivered by registered nurses. This may involve direct care or training and supervising NDIS support workers and family members to safely care for people with disabilities. NDIS Community Nursing Care is a disability-related health support as it is not about treating illnesses or general medical conditions, but about helping people manage the health impacts that arise directly from their disability.
Standard and High Intensity Supports
Community nursing care is provided at two levels: standard supports and high intensity supports. Standard supports are for day-to-day health needs that do not require specialist intervention. High intensity supports are for complex health tasks, identified by NDIS Practice Standards, such as complex bowel care, enteral feeding, severe dysphagia management, tracheostomy care, urinary catheter care, ventilator management, subcutaneous injections, and complex wound management.
If you need high intensity supports, your nurse will train and supervise your NDIS support workers to carry out these tasks safely, with the right level of oversight. This is called delegation and supervision of care. It means your support team can assist with complex health management once they are trained, assessed as competent, and supervised by a registered nurse. When tasks are delegated, the nurse remains responsible for your care. They will create a health assessment, prepare or update your care plan, train your support workers, and provide ongoing supervision. This ensures that your support team always has the skills and knowledge to meet your needs safely.
Why Choose West Moreton?
You may be eligible for community nursing care if your disability means you need help to manage a health condition related to it and the support is considered reasonable and necessary under the NDIS. Depending on your needs, this care may be provided directly by a nurse or delegated to trained support staff under supervision. West Moreton has a professional team including registered nurses who specialises in both standard and high-intensity disability supports. We create personalised care plans that focus on your health, independence, and quality of life. By working closely with you, your family, and your support coordinator, we make sure your care is safe, consistent, and professional.
Together, nursing, disability care, and disability-related health supports form the foundation of a strong support system. Reach out to us today to manage your health needs with dignity and confidence through professional nursing support in the comfort of your home.
Assist-Life Stage and Transition
Life is full of change, but for people with disabilities, transitions between different stages of life can feel overwhelming without the right support. Assist-Life Stage and Transition services are designed to make those changes easier, less stressful, and more positive. This NDIS-funded support helps you manage challenges, plan effectively, and build the confidence needed to embrace new opportunities.
Assist-Life Stage and Transition is funded under the Capacity Building budget of your NDIS plan, which focuses on strengthening long-term skills and independence. This category is designed to ensure that people with disabilities receive the right support to manage change and prepare for the future with confidence. Funding can be used for a variety of disability services, including mentoring and peer support, skill-building activities, and connections with community or mainstream services that broaden your opportunities. For example, you might work with a mentor to set personal goals, receive guidance on budgeting, or be supported in joining social and community groups. These disability supports provide immediate assistance during times of transition, while also giving you lasting strategies to grow more independent over time.
Transitions can take many different forms, and as your NDIS service provider, West Moreton Care is here to help you manage them with confidence. You may be preparing to move out of your family home into a place of your own, and need guidance on tenancy responsibilities and independent living skills. You might be starting a new job or changing careers, and want help with job preparation, applications, and adjusting to a new workplace. Some participants come to us when they are beginning further education, entering retirement, or adapting to personal challenges such as illness or bereavement. Others seek support to build stronger social networks, join community activities, or develop budgeting and daily planning skills. Whatever the stage, our focus is on making the journey smoother and ensuring you feel capable every step of the way.
We provide a personalised, professional service that puts you at the centre of every decision. Our team brings both expertise and empathy, creating an environment where you feel supported and respected. We pride ourselves on transparency, fair pricing, and flexible service delivery that suits your lifestyle. With us, you not only receive assistance for today’s challenges but also gain tools and strategies that help you approach future life changes with confidence. At West Moreton Care, we see every life stage as an opportunity for growth. Our goal is to ensure you feel prepared, supported, and confident at each step of the journey.

Assistance with Transport
Getting to appointments, work, study, or community activities is an important part of daily life. For many people with disabilities, transport can be a major barrier to independence. NDIS Assistance with Transport makes it easier to get where you need to go safely and confidently. At West Moreton Care, we provide reliable and supportive assistance with transport services that help participants stay connected with their community and achieve their goals.
The NDIS recognises that transport is essential for independence and provides two main ways of support. The first is Transport Funding, also called Participant Transport. This funding is included in a plan if a participant cannot use public transport without significant difficulty due to disability. It helps cover essential trips to workplaces, training, therapy, or social activities using private options such as taxis, rideshare, or other transport services. As a disability service provider, [Your Organisation] assists participants in understanding their transport budget and making practical decisions on how to use it, whether the plan is self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed.
The second is Activity-Based Transport. This applies when travel occurs as part of a support session. For example, a support worker may drive a participant to the shops, a community event, or between appointments. In such cases, the worker’s time spent supporting and transporting the participant is included in the session, and reasonable non-labour costs such as tolls, parking, or per-kilometre charges may be added, always with prior agreement from the participant. Not all travel-related costs are included in NDIS funding. Public transport fares when travelling independently are not covered, nor are infrastructure expenses such as roads, stations, or general travel unrelated to disability supports. If a transport option is not funded, West Moreton provides clear advice and suggests practical alternatives so participants continue to have access to suitable disability support.
As a registered NDIS service provider, we ensure transport arrangements are clear and transparent. Participants are informed about what is covered by the plan, what falls under Activity-Based Transport, and any additional costs that may apply. These details are outlined in a service agreement to avoid unexpected charges. Invoices are provided with clear separation between support time and agreed transport costs. Guidance is also available for participants or plan managers on how transport claims are processed in the NDIS myplace portal.
Safe and reliable transport is about more than reaching a destination. For people with disabilities, transport assistance is linked to freedom, choice, and control. Access to this support means participating in education, employment, healthcare, and community life with greater confidence. Assistance with Transport ensures that people with disabilities can pursue opportunities, maintain social connections, and live with increased independence. As a disability service provider, our goal is to provide disability services that remove barriers to mobility and create opportunities for greater independence. Reach out to us today to know more!
Therapeutic Supports
Therapeutic supports can be life-changing for people with disabilities. They make everyday activities more manageable, build confidence, and create opportunities for greater independence. A person who once struggled with basic tasks can learn skills to complete them more easily. Someone with mobility challenges can gain strength and safety to move around at home and in the community. A participant with communication difficulties can develop the ability to express themselves clearly and connect with others. These improvements reduce reliance on others, increase independence, and lead to stronger participation in family, work, and community life. Small gains in therapy grow into long-term changes that bring lasting confidence and quality of life.
Therapeutic supports in NDIS plan are usually funded under the Capacity Building budget. They are grouped into three key funding categories:
- Improved Daily Living
This category supports therapies that make everyday tasks easier and help you live more independently. For example, an occupational therapist can teach strategies for dressing, cooking, or managing personal care. Speech therapy can also improve communication so you can express yourself clearly at school, work, or in the community.
- Improved Health and Wellbeing
This area focuses on therapies that improve your overall health and fitness in ways directly related to your disability. A dietitian might design a meal plan to support healthy weight or manage special dietary needs, while an exercise physiologist can create a safe program to build mobility, strength, and balance. These therapies help you stay active and healthy long-term.
- Improved Relationships
This funding builds social and emotional skills to strengthen connections with others. Behaviour support can help develop positive strategies to manage daily challenges, while social skills programs can support children with developmental delay to interact confidently with peers. People with psychosocial disability can also benefit from therapies that promotes resilience and stronger community participation.
If you have NDIS funding for therapeutic supports in your NDIS plan, you can access services of qualified professionals from West Moreton Care. You can begin with an initial consultation, where we listen carefully to your needs and assess your strengths and challenges. Based on this, we design a therapy plan that includes achievable goals and practical strategies for daily life. Support may include regular therapy sessions, home-based activities, or community-based engagement. We work closely with you, your family, your support coordinator, and your plan manager to ensure your therapy is not only effective but also aligned with your long-term goals. As a registered NDIS service provider, our pricing is transparent and in line with NDIS price limits, so you know exactly what to expect and can focus on making the most of your funding. Reach out to us today!
NDIS Group and Centre Based Activities
Social participation is an important part of life. NDIS Group and Centre Based Activities provide safe, structured, and supportive environments where people with disabilities can build confidence, develop new skills, and connect with others. It is a support funded by the NDIS to encourage social interaction, skill development, and greater community participation. These activities may take place in a group setting within a centre or in the wider community, depending on your preferences and goals. Sessions are led by experienced support workers who ensure that every participant feels included, supported, and engaged.
Taking part in group activities gives you so much more than just a fun day out. It is about learning how to work with others, building everyday life skills, and discovering what you are capable of. You might find yourself cooking a meal for the first time, learning to budget your pocket money, or creating something special in an art class. You will also enjoy outings, games, and social events that make every week exciting. Most importantly, you will build confidence in yourself while making lasting friendships.
Group and centre-based activities are a great choice for people with disabilities who want to meet new people, build confidence in social situations, and develop practical life skills in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. These activities are also a good option for those interested in exploring hobbies, discovering new interests, or becoming part of a safe and supportive environment. Regardless of age or ability, group and centre-based activities can be tailored to the needs and goals of participants, making them flexible, meaningful, and inclusive for everyone involved.
At West Moreton Care, we provide a wide range of disability support through group and centre-based activities that are both enjoyable and meaningful. As a trusted disability service provider, we create programs that encourage creativity, learning, and social connection. Participants can enjoy arts and crafts sessions, cooking classes, and music and dance activities that bring fun and energy into their day. Our disability services also include structured skill-building workshops, literacy and numeracy programs, and life skills development that focus on greater independence and long-term growth. Every activity is carefully planned to suit the goals and abilities of participants, ensuring that each person feels included and supported. We believe NDIS Group and Centre Based Activities are opportunities to belong, to laugh, to learn, and to grow. As a disability service provider committed to inclusion and accessibility, we are here to help people with disabilities build confidence, make memories, and enjoy every stage of their journey. Reach out to us today to know more!
