Assistance with Accommodation and Tenancy Obligations
Accommodation and tenancy assistance in Adelaide
Finding a home is hard. Keeping it shouldn't be.
Accommodation and tenancy assistance is National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding to help you find a place to live and keep it — applications and inspections, understanding what your lease requires, dealing with the agent, and sorting problems before they become a notice. Complete Choice provides it across Adelaide, within 100km of the CBD.
It's the support that keeps a tenancy from falling over.
How do we help you find a place?
Searching listings and working out what’s realistic. Preparing an application that presents you well. Coming to inspections with you. Reading the lease with you before you sign, so you know what you’re committing to. Organising bond, connections, and the practical parts of moving in.
How do we help you keep your tenancy?
We help you keep your tenancy by explaining what your lease requires, dealing with the agent or landlord alongside you, keeping rent, bills and repairs on track, and acting early when something goes wrong. Breach notices and threatened eviction are far easier to fix early, so bring anything worrying to us before the response date.
Your obligations, in plain language — including the parts people miss.
Dealing with the agent or landlord. Reporting repairs properly and chasing them. Preparing for inspections. Being in the room for conversations you’d rather not have alone.
Staying on top of it. Rent and bills on time; the property kept to the standard the lease requires; neighbour issues handled before they grow.
When something goes wrong. Breach notices and threatened eviction are far easier to fix early. If you’ve received something in writing that worries you, bring it to us before the response date, not after.
What doesn’t tenancy assistance cover?
We don’t provide the housing under this support, and we’re not a real estate agent — we work alongside your landlord or agent, not in place of them. We’re not a legal service either; where a dispute needs formal representation, we’ll help you reach the right place.

Questions people ask
What does NDIS tenancy assistance cover?
NDIS accommodation and tenancy assistance covers help to find a home and help to keep it: searching and applying, coming to inspections, explaining your lease in plain language, dealing with the agent or landlord, and sorting problems before they become a formal notice. It doesn't pay your rent, it doesn't provide the housing, and it isn't legal representation.
Which NDIS funding pays for tenancy assistance?
Capacity Building Supports, under Improved Living Arrangements. Under the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 it's claimed as Assistance with Accommodation and Tenancy Obligations. If it isn't in your plan, your Support Coordinator or your my NDIS contact can explain how to ask for it, and we can help you work out what to ask for.
Can you help me find a rental?
Yes. We help you search listings and work out what's realistic, prepare an application that presents you well, come to inspections with you, and read the lease with you before you sign. We can also help organise bond, connections and the practical parts of moving in. We don't provide the housing ourselves under this support.
Can the NDIS help me find housing?
Yes, in some ways. The NDIS says it may fund supports that help you find and maintain suitable housing, such as accommodation and tenancy assistance. It doesn't pay your rent, bills or day-to-day living costs. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), for people with very high support needs, funds the housing itself. Talk to your my NDIS contact about which home and living supports suit you.
Can you help with a breach notice?
Yes, and sooner is far better. Bring the notice to us before the response date, not after. We'll help you understand what it says, what the landlord or agent is asking for, and how to respond. We're not a legal service, so where the dispute needs legal representation, we'll help you find it.
Do you provide the housing?
Not under this support. Tenancy assistance helps you find and keep a home you rent from a landlord or agent. We work alongside them, not in place of them, and we're not a real estate agent. If you're looking for a home with support workers there around the clock, that's Supported Independent Living (SIL).
Can I get tenancy assistance alongside other NDIS supports?
Yes. Tenancy assistance sits beside personal care, household tasks and community participation without affecting them. It's funded from Capacity Building Supports, while those everyday supports are usually funded from Core Supports. Ask us how they fit together in your plan, and we'll go through it with you.
