We want to get it right the first time 

When you’re finding a new home, one of the most important things is making sure you feel happy and comfortable with the people you live with.

That’s why we take the time to understand what you want in a home and give you a chance to meet with potential housemates to see if you ‘click’.

We look at things like location, accessibility features, and staffing and support needs to help you find a place that works for you on every level.

How does Aruma’s housemate matching work?

1. Let’s talk:
Start with a friendly conversation with a local Aruma housing expert to discuss your needs and preferences.

3. Tell Us About You:
Let’s prepare a profile to help us understand and share your likes, dislikes, and support needs.

2. Safeguarding checks:
We’ll review your needs and NDIS funding details together to ensure everything aligns.

4. Finding Your Match:
We’ll share profiles (without names) to find thoughtful and compatible housemates for you.

5. Meet and Greet
Everyone can get together a few times and see if you click.

6. We roll out the welcome mat for your new home!
Let’s plan your move, and provide ongoing support to help you feel at home.

Frequently asked questions

Finding the right home can take anywhere from six weeks to 12 months and beyond. Ideally, we don’t want to keep anyone waiting. Most participants will have their home within a few months when possible.

Housemate Matching takes time because we want to get it right for participants, first go. We’ll examine participant profiles thoroughly to find a place that meets their needs. Moving into a new home is a stressful experience at the best of times, and we want to make this transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

This is one of the most important – and different – things about Housemate Matching. If there’s a situation where we can’t find a good match with an existing home, we can look to create a new one! Obviously, this takes more time, but the results are worth it.
