Community Access FAQs
What funding options are available?
Supported Independent Living services are funded for eligible people by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The NDIS does not cover the cost of rent, utilities, meals and transport. This is paid to Solid Holistic Care as residential fees for the running costs of the home and is most often paid out of your Disability Support Pension. The only additional costs you will have are medical costs and personal spending money.
How many people could I be living with?
Our shared homes range in size so the number of people living in each home varies. We work to ensure you are comfortable in your new environment and that your fellow housemates are close to your age and ideally share some of your interests.
Are your locations close to public transport?
Yes, all of our shared accommodation is close to public transport, shops, medical facilities, chemists and other conveniences.
Do you provide culturally sensitive or multilingual support?
Yes — we’re proud to say “we speak your language.” Our team supports people from diverse cultures, languages, and faith backgrounds.
Where are yor homes located?
We have a number of shared homes located across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Port Stephens.
What types of modifications do your homes have?
All of our homes include thoughtful modifications designed to support comfort, safety, and independence. These may include accessible entryways, ramps, handrails, and other tailored features to suit individual mobility or sensory needs. We make sure each space feels supportive, practical, and welcoming.
