Housing Options
At CPL, our primary focus is on providing expert, personalised support for people with disability. We collaborate with private investors, government organisations, and other entities to offer a diverse range of rental property options. This collaborative approach ensures our clients have greater choice and control over their living arrangements and the providers they choose to deliver their support services.
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
SIL is tailored for individuals who require 24/7 support. Our highly trained CPL staff offer a broad range of services, including complex physical care. We work closely with our clients to help them build their capacity and maximise their independence in areas such as personal care, household decision-making, and daily domestic tasks. Additionally, we support clients in achieving their personal goals and outcomes.
Our SIL services are available across Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
Short Term Accommodation (STA)
STA provides funding for temporary support and accommodation away from your usual home, for up to 14 days at a time. This includes personal care, accommodation, food, and agreed-upon activities.
STA funding can also be used for respite, offering a break for both you and your carers. This opportunity allows you to try new experiences, make new friends, develop new skills, and help maintain your current living situation by giving your informal supports a break.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
SDA offers housing options for people with very high needs. These properties are designed to be more accessible, promoting greater independence and allowing for safer, more effective delivery of support.
SDA properties may include features such as ceiling hoists in bedrooms and bathrooms, home automation, emergency power backup, and assistive technology. Residents in SDA properties are responsible for their rent and other living expenses, such as groceries and utilities.
Funding options
There are a range of funding options available to support you to reach your independent living goals. The NDIA determines the funding you receive for your supports, including eligibility for SIL and SDA.
They also set the funding for equipment, assistive technology, community access, home modifications, and other services.
CPL can help you understand and maximise the flexibility of your plan funding, ensuring it aligns with your individual needs and goals. We do not take a "one size fits all" approach and encourage you to contact us to explore the broader possibilities your funding may offer.
