Top Tips for Moving into a New NDIS Home 

Moving into a new home can be both exciting and overwhelming, and for participants transitioning into supported NDIS accommodation, the process comes with its own unique considerations. Whether you are moving into a shared living arrangement such as Supported Independent Living (SIL) or other NDIS-funded housing, careful planning can make the experience smooth, stress-free, and positive.  

Here are some practical tips to guide you through your next move. 

Start planning early and use a checklist 

One of the most important steps when moving into NDIS accommodation is to plan ahead. Early preparation gives you enough time to arrange necessary support, organise personal belongings, and communicate with your providers. Creating a timeline and using an NDIS housing move checklist ensures nothing is overlooked. 

Your checklist might include: 

• Confirming your moving date and notifying your current provider 

• Arranging packing materials and transport 

• Updating your address for mail, services, and utilities 

• Meeting with your new SIL coordinator or support team 

• Setting up your room and shared spaces in your new home 

A structured plan helps reduce stress and keeps your move organised from start to finish. 

Communicate with your support team 

Moving into an NDIS home usually involves several people, including support coordinators, SIL providers, and family members. Keeping clear communication channels with your team is crucial. Let them know your preferences, routines, and any special requirements, such as dietary needs or mobility aids. 

Your support team can help you personalise your new space, provide guidance during the move, and ensure your transition is as smooth as possible. 

Declutter, organise, and personalise 

Before moving, take the time to sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. Label boxes clearly to make unpacking easier, especially in shared areas. Once in your new home, bring familiar items that give you comfort, like photos or your favourite bedding. Even small touches can make a big difference in helping your space feel more like home. 

Practical organisation also matters. Consider how you will manage daily routines like laundry, meal prep, and personal storage. Keeping essential items handy during the first few days can help you feel more in control and independent.
