Housing Match starts with the person — not the vacancy
A sustainable housing placement depends on far more than whether a bedroom is empty. Housing Match helps you consider the factors that determine whether a house will still be the right home in six months, a year and beyond:
Support needs
Matching support ratios, overnight models and staffing hours to the participant’s needs.
Location preferences
Proximity to family, friends, work, day programs, community activities and health services.
Accessibility
Wheelchair access, ceiling hoists, roll-in showers, adjustable benchtops and grab rails.
Household compatibility
Gender, age, lifestyle, communication style and behaviour support considerations.
Lifestyle and preferences
Quiet or social household, pets, smoking preferences, interests and hobbies.
Support arrangements
Consistent support workers, rostering and person-centred active support.
