Access 2 Place Housing

Today marks the start of this year’s National Reconciliation Week.

At Access 2 Place, we acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land, waters and communities across Australia.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and recognise the ongoing strength, culture and contribution of First Nations peoples.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself. It takes all of us.

This National Reconciliation Week, we are All In.

Come and say hello to the Access 2 Place team and find out more about housing options for people living with disability across South Australia.

A significant step towards stronger safeguards, clearer accountability, and improved quality for participants receiving high-risk supports.

Mandatory registration for supported independent living (SIL) and platform providers will start on 1 July 2026.

This change will strengthen oversight and ensure providers are accountable for meeting quality and safety standards. Registered providers must pass audits, suitability assessments, and comply with strict worker screening and incident reporting requirements.

This announcement follows extensive consultation and aligns with recommendations from the NDIS Review, Disability Royal Commission, NDIS Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce, and the NDIS Commission’s Own Motion Inquiries.

We will share guidance on transition arrangements in early 2026, giving providers time to prepare while maintaining continuity of support.
