Home & Living Supports
At VHCC, Home & Living supports are more than accommodation — they are a structured and person-centred approach to supporting participants to live safely, independently, and with dignity in a place they can call home.
We deliver supports that are designed to build capacity, promote independence, and support participants to develop the skills required for everyday living, while ensuring their health, safety, and wellbeing are maintained.
Our supports are aligned with each participant’s NDIS plan and goals, with a strong focus on creating stable, consistent, and supportive home environments that enable long-term outcomes.
Our support staff work alongside participants to understand their individual needs, preferences, and routines, ensuring supports are purposeful, structured, and responsive.
These supports are currently offered across:
- New South Wales (NSW): Hunter Region, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounding areas
- Victoria (VIC): Box Hill, Ballarat, Shepparton and surrounding areas
Home & Living Support Types
VHCC provides a range of Home & Living support models to meet the diverse needs of participants, including:
- Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Ongoing support within a shared or individual living environment, designed to assist participants with daily living tasks while building independence and capacity over time. - Individualised Living Options (ILO)
Flexible and tailored living arrangements that support participants to live in a way that suits their preferences, relationships, and goals, with a focus on informal and formal supports working together. - Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
Temporary accommodation supports for participants who are transitioning to long-term housing solutions, ensuring continuity of care and stability during interim periods. - Short Term Accommodation (STA)
Short-term stays that provide participants with opportunities for respite, skill development, and community engagement in a supported environment.

Through Home & Living supports, VHCC assists participants to:
- Develop skills for daily living, including personal care, meal preparation, and household tasks

Our Approach
Our approach to Home & Living is grounded in person-centred practice and aligned with the NDIS Practice Standards, with a strong focus on capacity building and participant choice and control.
We work collaboratively with participants, families, guardians, and support networks to deliver supports that are:
- Focused on skill development and increasing independence in the home
- Delivered using active support practices to promote participation and autonomy
- Structured and consistent, supporting routine, stability, and predictability

- Responsive to complex support needs, including psychosocial and behavioural presentations

Our supports are designed to reduce reliance on supports over time, while ensuring participants feel safe, supported, and empowered within their home environment.
