Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've answered the most common ones below.

A shared living arrangement is where two or more NDIS participants live together in a home and share support workers. Each resident has their own individual support plan and funding, but staff costs are shared, making it an efficient and socially connected way to receive daily living support.

Shared living is a type of SIL. SIL refers to the funding and support model, while shared living describes the housing arrangement. In a shared living home, multiple participants live together with shared on-site support staff available throughout the day and night.

We do our best to match participants with compatible housemates based on personality, interests, lifestyle, cultural background, and support needs. Your comfort and wellbeing in the home is always our priority.

Yes. Every participant in a NewAura shared living home has their own private bedroom. Common areas such as the kitchen, living room, and outdoor spaces are shared among residents.

Most shared living homes in Sydney accommodate two to four participants. The size of the household depends on the property and the support needs of the residents.

Absolutely. Your room is your own personal space and you are encouraged to make it feel like home with your own furniture, decorations, and belongings.
