Blacktown, NSW 2148

About the home

This newly built home in Blacktown is designed for people with Fully Accessible (FA) and High Physical Support (HPS) SDA funding under the NDIS. AccessAccom has partnered with Achieve Australia to deliver a modern living environment where people can live independently while receiving the physical assistance they require.

The site includes a shared two-bedroom home and two neighbouring one-person villas. Each dwelling has been designed to support mobility, daily care and assistive technology needs, while still offering a calm, residential setting.

Homes are organised so people can maintain their own routines while still living as part of a small community. Bedrooms and bathrooms support accessible equipment and transfers, while shared living areas provide comfortable spaces for everyday living and visits with family or friends.

Life at Blacktown

Blacktown offers access to a wide range of everyday services and community facilities. Westpoint Shopping Centre provides retail, dining and essential services nearby, while Blacktown railway station connects directly to the wider Sydney network for work, study, appointments and family visits.

Local community spaces make it easy to stay active and connected.

Max Webber Library hosts community programs and accessible spaces, while Blacktown Hospital is nearby for emergency and specialist care.

Living here allows people to maintain routines, stay connected with their community and access local services while enjoying a stable home environment.

Support model

Support is coordinated according to each person’s NDIS plan and is organised across the neighbouring homes rather than within each house individually.

The model includes:

• A shared combination of active and inactive overnight support across the site

• Clinical oversight from a Registered Nurse

• Personal care times such as morning routines planned in agreement and reviewed regularly

• Additional direct supports arranged according to each person’s NDIS funding

Before someone moves in, staff work with them to understand their routines, health needs and personal preferences. Equipment, clinical oversight and appointments are planned in advance so support fits around daily life rather than disrupting it.

Compatibility between housemates is considered carefully, including communication styles, routines and overnight support needs, to support a comfortable shared living environment.

The home is intended for people with high physical support needs primarily related to mobility and daily care, such as spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, progressive neurological conditions, acquired brain injury, spina bifida or stroke.

The accommodation and support model is not designed for situations where behaviours of concern are incompatible with shared living, or where most people are assessed below High Physical Support under the NDIS.

The guys at Dundas enjoy a beautiful setting with nice gardens and vegetable patches, which they love to maintain. They are about to plant the garden for winter, and can’t wait to see what grows in the cooler months. The home features two lounge rooms, allowing everyone to socialise together or enjoy some quiet time separately.
