DisabilityCo has two SIL vacancies in Melbourne: one at Royal Oak House in Cranbourne East and one at Beaver Street House in Box Hill South. Each vacancy is for a male participant joining a shared home with two existing male residents.
Finding the right Supported Independent Living arrangement involves more than choosing a bedroom. Your housemates, daily routines, support needs and connection to the local community all help shape whether a home feels right for you.
Here is an overview of both properties, the support arrangements and how to take the next step.
Royal Oak House: SIL accommodation in Cranbourne East
Royal Oak House is a four-bedroom home in Melbourne’s south-east, offering multiple shared living areas and a private backyard.

Home features
- Four bedrooms and two bathrooms

As part of exploring the home, we can discuss how you would get to appointments, activities and the places you enjoy. This includes considering your transport and accessibility needs.
Who would you live with?
Two male residents currently live at Beaver Street House. One bedroom is available for another male participant, subject to housemate compatibility, suitable funding and agreed support arrangements.
Our team can explain the household routines, available room and support arrangements, and help you decide whether to arrange a visit.
Support planned around each resident
Onsite shared supports at both homes are provided by The Disability Company, also known as DisabilityCo.
Support arrangements are developed around each resident’s needs, preferences, routines, goals, funding and safety requirements. During the enquiry process, we discuss the assistance you need and whether the proposed arrangements can meet those needs.
Residents are encouraged to provide feedback about their supports, staffing and household routines. This feedback informs ongoing support reviews.
Residents may also continue using their chosen providers for individually funded planned supports, where appropriate. We discuss how these services can work alongside shared household supports.

How we approach housemate matching
The right household match matters to both prospective and existing residents.
We take time to understand how each person likes to live, including:
- Interests and preferred activities
- Daily routines, including sleep and meal times
- Communication styles
- Support needs and preferences
- Preferences for privacy, social time and shared spaces
Prospective residents are supported to learn about the household and, where appropriate, meet and spend time with the people they may live with before making a decision.
Existing residents are also supported to share their views. The process gives everyone an opportunity to consider whether the arrangement could work well.
Could one of these homes suit you?
These vacancies may suit a male NDIS participant who would like to share a home with two other men in Cranbourne East or Box Hill South.
You may already have SIL funding or be exploring home and living options with your Support Coordinator and the NDIA. You are welcome to enquire while considering your options.
An enquiry does not commit you to moving. It is a chance to ask questions, discuss your preferences and understand what living in the home could involve.
Before a placement proceeds, we need to establish that the property, housemate match, funding and support arrangements are suitable.
Understanding SIL funding and living costs
Supported Independent Living funds disability-related assistance or supervision with daily tasks. It does not cover the house itself, rent, groceries or ordinary household bills.
When comparing SIL accommodation in Melbourne, consider both the support available and the everyday costs of living in the home.
Our team can discuss the proposed support arrangements, accommodation costs, household contributions and agreements. Your Support Coordinator or NDIA contact can help you understand your funding.
For more information, read the NDIA’s guide to home and living options.
