This report is about what we heard from people who work in the disability community about housing and living supports.

We heard that housing and living supports need to:

• be safer
• better meet the needs of people with disability.

This includes supported independent living (SIL).

SIL is when people with disability live in their own home but get support to do daily tasks.

For example, cooking and cleaning. 

This also includes specialist disability accommodation (SDA).

SDA is a type of housing that is designed for people with disability who need extra support.

This report also includes what we already learned from:

• people with disability

• government research.

For example, we learned about the need for new NDIS Practice Standards.

The NDIS Practice Standards:

• keep participants safe
• make sure NDIS providers do a good job.

Providers support people with disability by delivering a service.
