Application Criteria
Application Criteria for 17 Rickards Avenue
To ensure this home and our support services are the perfect fit for your lifestyle and goals, here is a quick guide to our application criteria:
As this is a specialised space, applicants must have an active NDIS plan with approved 1:1 Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding.
Income & Living Expenses: Please keep in mind that SIL funding covers your support staff, not the physical property. Applicants will need a steady income (such as the Disability Support Pension) to comfortably cover a Reasonable Rent Contribution, along with personal day-to-day expenses like groceries and utilities.
Current LGA (Local Government Area): We warmly welcome applications from anywhere
