Accommodation Support Funding
The focus of Accommodation Support Funding is to:
1. Support people with a disability to live in a home environment as
close as possible to that enjoyed by other community members; and
2. Enable the person with a disability and their family to have a choice
of support providers.
The Accommodation Support Program provides funding (as outlined below) when a person with a disability lives in accommodation situations such as:
1. Shared care or individual arrangements that aim to enable people
with a disability to live in the community in a home environment as
close as possible to that enjoyed by other community members;
2. Individualised accommodation options where the person lives in their family home
and support costs are more than the designated benchmark per annum ($30,000);
3. Foster care options where the child spends 50% or more time away from their family
