About Ghulam

Ghulam is a 24-year-old man living with Intellectual Disability and Autism. He is predominantly non-verbal and communicates through body language, gestures, visual prompts, and assistive communication tools. He is a resilient young man who thrives in calm, predictable environments with consistent routines and familiar people.

Ghulam loves spending time outdoors – particularly visiting the beach, local parks, and going for walks along the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. He enjoys sensory-based activities including grass, sandpits, water play, swimming and beach visits. He also likes listening to music and watching AFL and soccer on television. Ghulam is expressive and genuine with his emotions, and will clearly show when he is happy, unsettled, or needs space.

Ghulam has lived successfully in a shared living arrangement previously and currently receives 24/7 SIL support.

Who This Home Is For

This vacancy would suit someone seeking a well-established supported home with consistent routines, clear structure, and a strong focus on safety, wellbeing, and quality of life. Ghulam would prefer to live with another male but may be open to sharing with a female. Ideally the housemate would be around a similar age and comfortable in a supported living environment.

A suitable housemate would:

Be comfortable living in a supported setting with staff present
Respect established routines and shared spaces
Be tolerant of support staff presence, including overnight
Prefer a quieter, structured home environment

Supported Living Options is a broad term for NDIS housing and accommodation arrangements where participants receive support to live more independently. This can include SDA homes, shared supported accommodation, 24/7 SIL arrangements, and intentional communities. My Supports works with participants to find the model that suits their goals, funding, and lifestyle.

Many of our supported living opportunities combine both, but they are funded separately under your NDIS plan.

	SDA	SIL
What it is	The home itself	The support inside the home
Full name	Specialist Disability Accommodation	Supported Independent Living
What it funds	Purpose-built or modified housing	Support workers, daily tasks, personal care, overnight support
Who decides eligibility	The NDIA, based on functional impairment	The NDIA, based on support needs
How it’s funded	Separate SDA budget in your NDIS plan	Separate SIL budget in your NDIS plan
Can you have both?	Yes – SDA and SIL are commonly combined	Yes – SIL can be used in SDA or other homes

Supported living options are designed for NDIS participants who have higher support needs and want to live more independently in the community. They suit people who are looking for a safe, stable home with the right level of support around them – whether that’s 24/7 active support or lighter drop-in arrangements.

Eligibility for SDA funding is determined by the NDIA as part of your NDIS plan. My Supports can work with you and your support coordinator to understand your current plan and explore what housing options may be available to you. If you’re not sure, get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.

Browse the current opportunities listed on this page and submit an enquiry for the home you’re interested in. Our team will contact you to discuss the home, the support arrangements, and whether it’s likely to be a good match. If none of the current listings suit, register your general interest and we’ll reach out as new opportunities become available.

Absolutely. My Supports encourages family and carer involvement at every stage. We believe that strong support networks around a participant contribute to better outcomes and a more positive living experience.
