Working Together to Support NDIS Participants
For professionals committed to ethical, person-centred outcomes — here’s how Cherish can walk with you. At Cherish SDA Homes, our work is grounded in lived experience and community values.
Having grown up alongside disability within our own family, we understand the need for homes that go beyond compliance — homes that offer safety, dignity, and genuine empowerment.
This page is dedicated to the incredible NDIS professionals who make that vision possible. Whether you’re coordinating supports, delivering daily care, advocating through therapy, or helping someone take their first step on the NDIS journey — we see your impact, and we’re here to walk alongside you.
Support Coordinators
We understand that Support Coordinators wear many hats — advocate, navigator, communicator, and sometimes, lifeline.
Your role in a participant’s journey is deeply personal. It requires trust, clarity, and reliable partnerships. That’s why we work alongside you — not just around you.
We’re here to make your job easier, not harder.
- Clear communication and prompt updates
- Respectful and transparent participant matching
- Homes that are safe, compliant, and truly feel like home
- Values-led support at every step of the housing process
Whether you’re planning ahead, navigating a time-sensitive vacancy, or simply exploring what’s possible — we’ll walk alongside you, not ahead of you.
Cherish isn’t just a provider. We’re your ethical SDA partner — here to support the people you support.
Local Area Coordinators (LACs)
As one of the first touchpoints in a participant’s NDIS journey, we know the value Local Area Coordinators bring — you build trust, help clarify plans, and empower participants with choices.
At Cherish SDA Homes, we support that mission by offering housing options that are not only SDA-compliant, but truly people-first.
We’re not just here to fill a vacancy — we’re here to support better lives.
- Warm, respectful communication with participants and families
- Ethical housing matches aligned with individual needs and goals
- A collaborative spirit that welcomes shared problem-solving
- Clear next steps, honest expectations, and no pressure
If you’re working with a participant who may require SDA housing — now or in the future — we’re always happy to talk, explore options, or simply offer guidance.
Cherish is built on trust, empathy, and a commitment to walking alongside the people you support.
SIL Providers
We know the responsibility SIL providers carry every day — creating structure, safety, and consistency in the lives of people with complex needs. The work you do goes far beyond rosters and ratios. It’s about building trust, responding to challenges in real time, and holding space for human dignity.
At Cherish SDA Homes, we see you — and we’re committed to making your work easier by providing homes that support your teams, your participants, and your shared outcomes.
- Quality-built, SDA-enrolled homes that meet compliance and comfort
- Collaborative tenancy planning and ethical participant matching
- Open communication and alignment on routines, supports, and transitions
- A partner mindset — not just a landlord
We know that when housing and support are aligned, everyone wins — especially the participant.
If you’re seeking a housing partner who understands what it means to work together, we’d love to connect and explore how we can support your delivery of care.
At Cherish, we’re building homes that work with your support — not against it.
Occupational Therapists
As an OT, you don’t just assess eligibility — you advocate for dignity, function, and the right environment for independence.
At Cherish SDA Homes, we deeply value the role you play in shaping participants’ housing pathways. We understand that the right home isn’t just about access — it’s about capacity-building, safety, and supporting life goals.
Our approach is aligned with yours: thoughtful, tailored, and always participant-first.
- SDA-compliant homes designed with real-world functionality in mind
- Collaboration on participant needs, documentation, and transition support
- Open to working with your reports and recommendations early in the process
- Respect for the time, insight, and advocacy you bring to every participant
We welcome the chance to work with you in matching the right home to the right goals — because long-term success starts with getting the foundation right.
Cherish is here to turn functional insight into real-world outcomes — with homes that support the work you do.
Plan Managers
As a Plan Manager, you’re often the invisible engine behind smooth supports — translating NDIS plans into real-world impact while helping participants stay informed, empowered, and in control.
At Cherish SDA Homes, we respect the vital role you play in ensuring funding is used meaningfully and responsibly. While SDA funding is paid directly to providers through the NDIA, we know you’re still a key ally in helping participants understand their budgets and options.
We make it easier for you — and them — by:
- Offering clear housing documentation and tenancy agreements
- Providing participant-first communication at every step
- Keeping housing conversations transparent and aligned with plan goals
- Being available to clarify anything that supports confidence and trust
We see Plan Managers as allies — and we’re here to partner with professionalism and respect.
