Applications will be considered as they are received. 

There are many people living with disability (referred to as Participants by the NDIS) who would greatly benefit from in-home disability related supports, household assistance and the emotional support of a healthy and stable family environment. This may be as a full-time Host, with the Participant moving into your home and being included in your everyday family life, or as a Respite Host whereby the Participant may spend every second weekend with you/ your family, at your home.

If you are currently employed in the disability sector, becoming a Host or Respite Host to a Participant may present a conflict of interest. However, your live-in spouse or partner may be eligible based on the criteria below.

Requirements include (a) the Host/ Respite Host being over the age of 18 years; (b) every person over the age of 18 years residing in the Host’s/ Respite Host’s home for over 3 months duration holding a current and clear NDIS Worker Screening Check; and (c) every person over the age of 18 years residing in the Host’s/ Respite Host’s home for over 3 months duration being vaccinated, or scheduled to be vaccinated, against COVID-19.

Hosts and Respite Hosts will receive an agreed level of reimbursement from the Participant’s NDIS plan, with Hosts receiving an additional board and lodging payment to cover daily living costs.

If you are interested and would like to have a discussion around this, please email iloteam@identitywa.com.au. We would be very keen to hear about your level of interest, any relevant experience, your home environment, lifestyle and more.

Under the NDIS, a Co-resident is defined as one or more people who live in the Participant’s home and provide an agreed level of personal care and/or household assistance and companionship.

A Participant may have a main Co-resident, for example someone who supports them in their own home five days and nights a week. They may also have a Respite Co-resident who supports them in their own home over the weekend, or a rotating team of Co-residents.

Being sole traders, Co-Residents are required to have an ABN and be contracted to the Participants they support. Co-residents invoice and receive payment and/or reduced or subsidised rent, depending on the type and intensity of support provided.

Co-resident requirements include (a) being over 18 years of age; (b) holding a current and clear NDIS Worker Screening Check; and (c) being vaccinated, or scheduled to be vaccinated, against COVID-19.
