Accommodation Support
I’m looking for supported accommodation that fits my lifestyle and mobility requirements.

What is the NDIS?
The NDIS is here to help you live more freely, every day.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides government funding for Australians living with a permanent or significant disability. It is built around helping participants access the right supports, build practical skills, and work toward a more independent and connected life that reflects their own preferences.
The NDIS puts the control with you. You choose your provider, determine how support is structured, and set a schedule that fits the way you actually live.
Through the NDIS, you may be able to access:
- Help with daily living tasks and personal care
- Supported accommodation and independent living options
- Community participation and social activities
- Transport assistance
- Therapy and skill-building supports
Australian Instant Care is a registered NDIS provider based in Melbourne. We extend our services to Portarlington and the wider Bellarine Peninsula, working with participants to make genuine use of their NDIS funding through care that is consistent, compassionate, and built around their individual plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NDIS and how can it help me?
The NDIS is a federal government scheme that provides direct funding to Australians with a permanent or significant disability, giving you full control over your support. You choose who provides your care and how it is structured. Funding is split across Core, Capacity Building, and Capital categories to cover needs from everyday living through to long-term equipment and specialist housing.
Am I eligible for NDIS support?
You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident under 65 years of age. The NDIA assesses eligibility based on your disability and how it affects your day-to-day life. A Local Area Coordinator in the Geelong and Bellarine region can help you prepare and lodge your application.
What types of support can I access through my NDIS plan?
Your NDIS plan can cover a wide range of supports depending on your goals and circumstances. Funded categories include:
- Daily activities support — assistance with personal care, household tasks, and everyday routines
- Daily living skills development — building abilities in cooking, budgeting, communication, and independent living
- Therapy services — physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and other allied health supports
- Assistive technology — wheelchairs, hearing aids, communication devices, and other equipment
- Transportation support — helping you travel to places that are not otherwise accessible
- Community participation — sports, events, and social activities that keep you connected
- Home modifications — changes that improve safety and accessibility in your home
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) — purpose-built housing for those requiring high levels of support
- Support for families — including respite care so primary carers can take a necessary break
- Employment support — finding and maintaining work that suits your skills and interests
At Australian Instant Care, we focus on daily living support and community participation. We will help you understand what your plan makes possible and point you toward the right providers for anything outside our scope.
