Registered NDIS provider in Port Phillip

Privacy in shared housing
Built for rooming houses, boarding houses and shared homes
Port Phillip is one of Melbourne's most densely populated council areas, and a lot of that density is share housing. Alongside the apartments and terraces in St Kilda, Balaclava and Port Melbourne sit rooming houses and boarding houses, where several unrelated people share one roof, each with a room and a shared kitchen or bathroom. Plenty of NDIS participants here live in exactly that kind of housing, not a standalone house.
That changes how a visit has to work. A worker needs to know the house rules, greet housemates without explaining your business, and fit personal care or household tasks into a single room without turning the house into a talking point. We brief staff on this before the first visit, and what's discussed stays between you and us.
None of this is treated as unusual, and it shouldn't be. People end up in rooming houses and share homes for all sorts of reasons, cost, location, timing, and it has no bearing on the dignity of support you're entitled to. We focus on what you need help with, whether that's personal care, getting to Acland Street, or nursing care, and we deliver it quietly.
Local coverage
From Port Melbourne to St Kilda and the streets in between
Port Phillip runs along the bay from Port Melbourne, through Albert Park and Middle Park, into St Kilda, Balaclava and Elwood, with Ripponlea tucked in just behind Balaclava. It's a compact, tram-heavy part of Melbourne: the 96 runs down Fitzroy Street to St Kilda Beach, the 109 heads to Port Melbourne along Bay Street, and the Sandringham line runs through Balaclava and Ripponlea.
That density and good public transport work in your favour. Because so much of Port Phillip is packed close together, our workers can often cover more than one visit in an afternoon, which helps when you need a reliable time slot. It also means we're used to intercoms, shared driveways and rooming house managers, not just a front gate.
What we do
NDIS services we provide across Port Phillip
Here's how each of our four services works for someone living in a rooming house, boarding house or shared home in Port Phillip.
Assistance with personal activities in Port Phillip
Showering, dressing, medication prompts and other personal care happen in your room or your part of a shared home, timed around when the bathroom is free. Workers keep visits low-key and fit around your routine, in a rooming house in St Kilda or a flat in Port Melbourne.
Explore personal activitiesHousehold tasks in Port Phillip
Where kitchens and bathrooms are shared with housemates, we focus on what's actually yours: your room, your washing, your part of a shared home. We're mindful of house rules and other residents, and won't take over communal areas without checking first.
Explore household tasksSocial and community participation in Port Phillip
Getting out matters more when your living space is small, so support can mean a walk along the St Kilda foreshore, a trip to Carlisle Street or Bay Street, or getting to appointments across Port Phillip. It's time spent outside the room you sleep in.
Explore participation and communityNursing care in Port Phillip
Our registered nurses provide wound care, medication support, continence support and complex care planning in rooming houses and shared homes just as anywhere else, working around a single room or shared bathroom. Clinical care doesn't need a private ensuite to be done properly.

Setting up support in a Port Phillip rooming house or shared home

Tell us about your plan and your living situation
Call or send an enquiry and talk us through your NDIS plan, funding type and where you live, whether that's a rooming house in St Kilda, a flat in Elwood or a home in Balaclava.

We match you with the right worker
We factor in language, gender, cultural background and daily routine, so the worker who turns up is someone you're comfortable having in your room. For rooming houses, we also confirm building access.
- 3
A free, fixed-price quote
You get a fixed price in writing before anything starts, worked out from your plan and the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. There's no call-out fee, and the price doesn't change once quoted.

Support starts on a set day
Once your plan and funding are confirmed, we agree a genuine start date on that first call, usually within about a week. From there, support runs to a regular schedule you and your worker agree on.
Where we work
Suburbs we cover across Port Phillip
Suburbs shown in green below have their own dedicated page; the rest are still fully covered from this Port Phillip hub, just without a page of their own.
Discretion as standard
We work quietly, whatever your address looks like
Every worker has a current NDIS Worker Screening Check and police check, first aid and CPR, and works to the NDIS Code of Conduct. We match workers by language, gender, cultural background and daily routine, which matters in a suburb like St Kilda where housemates can come from a dozen backgrounds. If anything needs discussing formally, we use a professional interpreter, never a family member or a child.
We're a service-area provider working across Melbourne, not a business with a shopfront in Port Phillip, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we do have is workers comfortable turning up to a rooming house, checking in with a manager if needed, and getting on with personal care or a nursing visit without making a production of it. For someone in a shared home, that low-key reliability matters more than an office nobody visits.

Funding and cost
What NDIS support costs in Port Phillip
Pricing follows the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, so what you're quoted in Port Phillip is the same rate structure used anywhere else in Victoria, not a bayside premium. We give a free, fixed-price quote before anything is booked, with no call-out fee for a rooming house in St Kilda, a flat in Elwood or a house in Middle Park. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
We work with participants who are plan-managed, self-managed or NDIA-managed, where the item allows, and we'll ask which applies to you on the first call so invoicing is set up correctly. Whichever way your plan is managed, the process for booking support in Port Phillip stays the same.
Good to know
Port Phillip NDIS questions we are asked most
Is Ahsan Care a registered NDIS provider in Port Phillip?
Yes. Ahsan Care is a registered NDIS provider, registration number 4-L7JCZ6S, audited against the NDIS Practice Standards. We support participants across Port Phillip as a service-area provider, so support comes to your home rather than an office.
Which parts of Port Phillip does Ahsan Care cover?
We support participants across the City of Port Phillip, including St Kilda, Balaclava, Middle Park, Ripponlea and Elwood. If you're unsure whether your address is included, just ask when you call.
How soon can support start for someone living in Port Phillip?
Once we have your plan details and funding confirmed, support usually starts within about a week. We'll give you a real start date on the first call rather than a vague estimate.
I live in a rooming house or boarding house in St Kilda, can I still get one-on-one NDIS support?
Yes. Plenty of participants we support in Port Phillip live in rooming houses, boarding houses or share homes rather than a standalone house. Support happens in your room or part of the shared home, working around house rules.
If I live in a shared house in Port Phillip, will support workers tell my housemates or landlord why they're visiting?
No. What you're supported with is between you and us. Workers keep visits low-key, don't discuss your plan or diagnosis with other residents, and only speak with a rooming house manager about practical things like building access.
Can you help with household tasks in Port Phillip if I only have one room or share a kitchen?
Yes. Household task support is scoped to the space that's actually yours: a single room, part of a shared home, or a small flat in Elwood or Port Melbourne. We won't take over a shared kitchen or lounge without checking first.
