NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded initiative aimed at supporting Australians with disabilities. A key area of assistance provided by the NDIS is housing, allowing eligible participants to receive funding for specialized accommodations tailored to their needs.
Unfortunately, there is a significant shortage of suitable housing options for NDIS participants, a challenge resulting from years of underinvestment and a lack of focus on this sector. Consequently, many individuals face long waiting lists and are living in unstable or inappropriate conditions, particularly those with complex needs who require accessible features like wheelchair ramps and necessary modifications to support their independence.
OYOB is leveraging its experience in built-form developments to enter this critical market. The company is committed to creating fully supported NDIS Approved Homes that prioritize comfort, independence, and safety.
OYOB’s approach to NDIS housing development is guided by the following principles:
Independence
- Ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities, incorporating features such as wheelchair ramps, wider doorways, and accessible bathrooms and kitchens.
- Integrating safety measures throughout the homes, including fire safety features, emergency exits, and security systems.
Dignity
- Promoting independence through thoughtful design that includes private entrances, communal spaces, and proximity to community amenities.
- Utilizing high-quality fittings and finishes, functionally designed kitchens and bathrooms, and private outdoor spaces with significant amenity.
Vibrancy
- Designing spaces to optimize views and warmth, using appropriate materials, textures, and colors.
- Ensuring close proximity to external amenities, including shops, parks, and other facilities.
OYOB places great emphasis on integrating its NDIS housing developments into the broader community, selecting locations that enhance social inclusion, independence, and access to essential services.
