Having a stable place to live is a foundation for everything else. Without secure housing, accessing supports, maintaining employment, managing health, and building connections all become harder. For NDIS participants, finding and maintaining a tenancy can involve extra challenges.
Aamoon Care provides tenancy support to help participants find suitable housing, establish a tenancy, and maintain it over time.
Searching for rental properties, understanding and completing applications, attending inspections, reading lease agreements, setting up utilities, understanding tenancy rights, communicating with landlords, managing rent payments, maintaining the property, handling maintenance requests, preparing for inspections, and dealing with disputes or notices.
The rental market is competitive. We help search for properties matching your access needs, budget, and location. We attend inspections with you, help prepare applications, and support you through securing a tenancy. We also help you understand your rights. Landlords cannot discriminate based on disability.
Paying rent on time, keeping the property maintained, reporting issues, and allowing access for inspections. For participants who find these obligations difficult, our workers can provide regular assistance with cleaning before inspections, budgeting, communicating with agents, or addressing maintenance problems.
Tenancy support can be funded under Core Supports for practical assistance, or under Capacity Building for developing independent living skills. Your coordinator can help work out which category applies.
We can help you understand the application process and support you in completing forms. We cannot influence waiting lists, but we can make sure your application is complete and accurate.
Contact us immediately. We can help you understand the notice, your rights under the Residential Tenancies Act, and your options. In some cases, issues can be resolved through communication. Otherwise, we can connect you with tenancy advocacy services.
No. NDIS funding does not cover rent payments. We can help you set up a budget, connect you with Rent Assistance, and explore affordable housing options. Our support is practical assistance with managing your tenancy.
