Supported Independent Living (SIL):
SIL is providing support services to assist individuals to live independently regardless of whether it’s shared or their own independent living arrangement. SIL Services can include assistance with cooking, cleaning, personal care, medication management, budgeting and social interaction. The funding for SIL falls under core supports in your NDIS plan and is determined by your individual support requirements.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA):
SDA is providing specialised housing tailored to meet the unique support needs of individuals with disabilities. The building must have specific design features and modifications to cater to the participant’s individual needs such as wider doorways, stepless showers, safety windows, adjustable bench tops, infrastructure for a ceiling hoist or life support systems depending on the SDA category.
While SDA funding covers the physical brick and mortar building itself, should your requirements be above the standard SDA requirements the NDIS may fund additional modifications. You may also require additional NDIS funding for support services like daily living assistance, personal care, or specialist therapies. These are separate from SDA funding and need to be included in your individual NDIS plan.
Myxa is responsible for arranging building insurance for all our SDA properties. All participants that reside in Myxa properties are recommended to arrange contents insurance to cover the loss or damage of their personal possessions such as clothes, books, electrical equipment and cosmetics. Don’t forget to include cover for your specific treasures like cassettes of 80’s and 90’s rock bands, antiques and family heirlooms.
Myxa welcomes responsible pet ownership and considers pet applications on a case-by-case basis. Participants must demonstrate their ability to provide all essential pet care independently, without relying on a Disability Support Worker. This includes, but is not limited to, feeding, walking, grooming, and of course, providing a loving environment.
Additionally, to ensure a harmonious living environment, consent of all housemates within the supported living arrangement is required. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and respects the needs of both the participant and the pet.
Finally, all pets must comply with any body corporate by-laws that may exist in the residence.
Finding your ideal housemate is an in-depth process at Myxa. We prioritise compatibility and collaboration, matching you with individuals who share similar interests and personalities. This involves collaboration with your support coordinator to understand your needs and preferences. The final step is a key one! We arrange a meet-and-greet at the property, allowing you to get to know each other in a relaxed environment. This ensures a comfortable fit for everyone before any commitment is made.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is accommodation for people who require specialist housing solutions, including assisting with tailored support that caters for their extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.
