At our Supported Independent Living Homes, we will
Provide a safe and supportive home environment: Our spacious, purpose-built homes give you the option to socialise with other residents or have some ‘me-time’ to enjoy your privacy.Give you a voice in the household: As a resident, you have a say in all household decisions, activities and routines.
Support you to live independently: You can live on your own terms and still have the support to build the skills that will help you live as independently as possible.
Involve you in fun social activities: We have regular movie nights, BBQs, arts and crafts sessions, sports and daily walks, as well as day trips to explore nearby national parks or Sydney’s beautiful beaches!
Work closely with you to achieve your goals: Do you want to learn how to cook? Use public transport? Find employment? We will ask you about the things you want to achieve and help you reach these goals.
What kind of supports can I receive in my Supported Independent Living home?
Afea Care Services will tailor a support plan that will equip you with the skills you need to live independently in your home. Our experienced Carers will help you with daily tasks such as:
- Personal care
- Transportation
- Household chores
- Daily skills training
- Shopping assistance

How much does Supported Independent Living Cost?
Afea may charge up to 50% of the Disability Support Pension for household expenses including food and utilities. Rent will be up to 25% of the Disability Support Pension in addition to any Commonwealth Rent Assistance funding. You may be required to make a reasonable contribution on top of your funding to cover household costs, based on your individual needs and usage.
The daily supports are delivered as per the approved NDIS Roster of Care and are fully funded by the NDIA in line with your NDIS Plan. The approved funding amount will depend on your individual needs and goals. These will be determined by you and an Afea Accommodation Manager, who will create a Roster of Care to be submitted to the NDIA for approval.
