Whether you are looking for your first rental, transitioning to independent living, or need help maintaining your current tenancy, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Features
End-to-end tenancy support.
From finding the right property to maintaining a successful tenancy, we walk beside you at every step of your housing journey.
Get supportProperty searching
We help you find rental properties that match your needs, budget, and preferred location. From private rentals and community housing to Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) arrangements, we explore every option available under the NDIS housing framework. Our team knows the local market across Melbourne and regional Victoria and can identify accessible properties that meet your specific physical and sensory requirements.
Tenancy applications
Our team assists with completing applications, gathering references, and presenting your best case to landlords and real estate agents. We help you prepare a compelling rental history summary and can advocate directly with property managers to address any concerns about NDIS tenancy supports or rental history gaps. Our goal is to position you as a reliable, well-supported tenant from the very first application.
Lease agreement support
We review lease agreements with you, explain your rights and responsibilities, and ensure you understand every clause before signing. We pay special attention to maintenance obligations, break-lease terms, notice periods, and any clauses that may affect your NDIS housing supports or support worker access to the property. Knowledge is power when signing a lease, and we make sure you are fully informed before you commit.
Landlord negotiation
We liaise with property managers and landlords on your behalf, negotiating terms, repairs, and accommodations to make your tenancy work. This includes requesting disability-related modifications such as grab rails, ramp access, or modified bathroom fixtures under the Disability Discrimination Act. Our experienced negotiators understand both tenant rights and landlord concerns, bridging the gap to create tenancy arrangements that work for everyone.
Property maintenance
When something breaks, we help coordinate repairs, communicate with landlords, and ensure your home stays safe and comfortable. We maintain a directory of trusted tradespeople experienced with NDIS participant homes and can manage the entire repair process from initial report to completion. Urgent repairs like heating failures or accessibility equipment breakdowns are prioritised so your home remains habitable and safe at all times.
Rent & subsidy navigation
We help you understand rent assistance options, NDIS housing contributions including SDA funding and in-kind support, and how to manage your tenancy finances sustainably. We provide clear guidance on Commonwealth Rent Assistance, Victorian Housing Register applications, and how your NDIS plan can be used to support your housing goals. Financial sustainability is the foundation of a successful long-term tenancy, and we ensure you have a realistic budget from day one.
