    Understand Your Needs

    Everyone’s situation is unique. We’ll spend time learning about you—your ideal home, preferred areas, and the type of support you’re looking for—so we fully understand what matters most.

  • A white desk with a silver laptop, a stack of papers clipped with a black binder clip, a printed weekly calendar, and a white ruler.

    Arrange Funding

    We’ll collaborate with you, your family, or your Support Coordinator to offer general guidance on navigating the funding process for both housing and support services.

  • Modern kitchen with stainless steel refrigerator, microwave, oven, black tile backsplash, white cabinets, and a white countertop island with two black stools.

    Discover the Best Fit

    After your funding is secured, we’ll search our wide range of properties across Sydney, New South Wales. Using what we’ve learned about your needs, we’ll identify the options that suit you best.

    If nothing is available straight away, that’s okay. We’ll add you to our waiting list and keep you updated as soon as a suitable home becomes available.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for Supported Independent Living (SIL) in Sydney, helping eligible participants live more independently. This support gives people access to assistance from a support worker at times that best suit their lifestyle and needs. Services can range from occasional daily drop-in visits to round-the-clock in-home support, covering everything from general supervision to building new life skills.

    At CoDesign Car, we offer Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Assisted Living within a shared group-home setting across Sydney.

    Our SIL and Assisted Living supports include:

    • Help with personal care activities such as showering, dressing, and toileting

    • Assistance with everyday household tasks, including shopping, cooking, laundry, and cleaning

    • Overnight support, whether active or sleepover

  • If you’re beginning to explore new home and living options—or your current living situation has recently changed—you may need to complete a Home and Living Supporting Evidence Form. This form, which can be lodged up to 100 days before your plan ends, outlines your housing goals, current circumstances, personal strengths, and the type of support you continue to require.

    Alongside this, a Roster of Care is also prepared. This document, informed by reports from an Allied Health Professional and your Support Coordinator, details the level of assistance you need. It explains how your disability affects areas such as mobility, self-care, and cognitive functioning, and helps determine the most appropriate housing setup for your needs. An Occupational Therapist usually completes this assessment, which is often funded through the Improved Daily Living category of your NDIS plan.

    Once everything has been submitted, the NDIS reviews the information to decide on the most suitable funding arrangement to support your goals and help you stay connected with your community. When a potential housing option becomes available, your Support Coordinator will then prepare a Housing Solutions Report to confirm your suitability for supported living.

    If you’re thinking about applying for SIL and don’t know where to begin, the CoDesign Care team is here to guide you through the process.

  • You can also access our accommodation through individually funded support packages such as icare, workers compensation, and insurance-based core supports. These services can be funded in a variety of ways—agency-managed, self-managed, or a mix of both—depending on what works best for you.
