Onsite Shared Support Services
Responsive Shared Support Within Modern SDA Homes
Flexible & Person-Centred Onsite Shared Supports for SDA Participants
Steadway provides high-quality Onsite Shared Support Services (OSS) within Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, and surrounding regions.
Our onsite shared support model is designed to deliver flexible, responsive, and person-centred support for participants living within SDA environments, while promoting independence, safety, and quality of life. By combining experienced support teams with efficient staffing arrangements, we help participants receive the support they need within stable and welcoming disability accommodation settings.
As experienced SDA and SIL providers, we understand the importance of balancing participant independence with reliable onsite support. Our shared support model allows participants to access assistance when needed while maintaining choice, control, and privacy within their home environment.
What Are Onsite Shared Supports (OSS)?
Onsite Shared Supports (OSS) are a shared staffing support model delivered within SDA housing environments. This approach allows support workers to assist multiple participants living within the same SDA property or development while ensuring support remains responsive and accessible throughout the day and overnight.
- This model is commonly used within:
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes
- Supported Independent Living (SIL) environments
- Shared disability accommodation settings
- High-support SDA developments
- NDIS supported accommodation arrangements
Our onsite support services are tailored to the unique needs of each participant and can work alongside SIL funding, Core Supports, and other NDIS support arrangements.
How Our OSS Model Works
Our onsite shared support services are designed to create safe, efficient, and collaborative support environments within SDA homes.
Participants receive access to experienced support workers who are available onsite to assist with day-to-day support needs, routines, community participation, and overnight assistance where required.
Depending on participant goals and funding arrangements, our OSS model may include:
Shared Daily Support
Support workers provide assistance across multiple residents within the SDA environment, helping participants maintain routines, independence, and daily living activities.
Responsive Onsite Assistance
Having staff onsite allows participants to access support quickly when needed, improving safety, reassurance, and participant wellbeing.
Flexible Support Arrangements
Our onsite support services can work alongside Supported Independent Living (SIL), Core Supports, and other NDIS-funded services to create a tailored support model.
Overnight Support Options
We can also provide onsite overnight assistance and sleepover support for participants requiring overnight supervision, reassurance, or emergency response.
Benefits of Onsite Shared Supports
Our onsite shared support model offers several benefits for participants living within SDA homes and supported accommodation environments.
Greater Independence
Participants can maintain independence within their own disability accommodation while still having reliable support available when required.
Consistent Support Teams
We prioritise low agency usage and stable staffing arrangements to help participants build trust and familiarity with their support workers.
Efficient & Scalable Support
Shared staffing arrangements create a more efficient support model while maintaining responsive and high-quality care within the SDA environment.
Improved Safety & Reassurance
With support workers available onsite, participants and families can feel confident knowing assistance is accessible throughout the day and overnight.
Our teams work closely with participants, families, support coordinators, allied health professionals, and SDA housing providers to deliver integrated support solutions.
Specialist SDA & SIL Support Services
Steadway specialises in supporting participants living within modern SDA housing environments, including:
- High Physical Support SDA
- Fully Accessible SDA
- Improved Liveability SDA
Our experienced support workers assist participants living with a wide range of disabilities and complex support needs, including neurological conditions, physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, psychosocial disabilities, and acquired injuries.
As trusted providers of SIL support services and onsite support services, we focus on creating stable and supportive living environments where participants can feel safe, comfortable, and empowered.
