NDIS Housing Provider in Magra, Tasmania
Care Assure operates two High Physical Support Specialist Disability Accommodation homes in Magra, Tasmania. Ceiling hoists, backup power, and 24-hour support with registered nurse oversight on every care plan.
NDIS Housing in Magra
Care Assure operates two Specialist Disability Accommodation homes in Magra, a rural locality in Tasmania's Derwent Valley. Both are High Physical Support properties, built for participants with the highest physical support needs.
Magra sits in the Derwent Valley with road access to Greater Hobart and its health services. For participants who want an accessible home in a quieter rural setting without losing access to Hobart's specialists, allied health, and community services, it is a practical option that few providers offer.
High Physical Support SDA in Magra
High Physical Support is the highest specification SDA design category. It is funded for participants with extreme functional impairment who need specialist equipment and infrastructure built into the home rather than added afterwards.
Care Assure's Magra properties include:
- Ceiling hoists throughout: Fitted through the bedroom, bathroom, and living areas for safe transfers without manual handling.
- Backup power: For participants who rely on life-sustaining equipment. In a rural location, this is not a convenience feature.
- Automated doors: Supporting independent movement through the home.
- Assistive technology infrastructure: Wiring and structural provision for the equipment HPS participants rely on daily.
- Full wheelchair accessibility: Doorways, bathrooms, and circulation space designed for powered wheelchair use.
HPS is the design category in highest demand across Tasmania and the one with the tightest supply. Care Assure's Tasmanian portfolio is concentrated in HPS for that reason.

SDA and Daily Support From One Provider
SDA funds the home. It does not fund the people who support you. Those are two separate NDIS budget lines, and many participants end up with a housing provider and a separate support provider who have never met.
Care Assure provides both. Our support workers deliver daily assistance in our Magra homes, and a registered nurse writes and reviews each resident's care plan before they move in. When your needs change, the nurse who updates your plan works for the same organisation as the team delivering your support.
In a state with only four registered SDA providers in Hobart, this integration is worth asking other providers about before you decide.
Living in Magra and the Derwent Valley
Magra is a small rural locality north-west of Hobart, in the Derwent Valley municipality. New Norfolk is the nearest town, with a supermarket, medical centre, and pharmacy. Greater Hobart, Royal Hobart Hospital, and the state's specialist services are reachable by road.
The setting suits participants who want space, quiet, and an accessible home rather than an inner-suburban location. It suits you less well if you rely on frequent public transport, because services in the Derwent Valley are limited compared with Glenorchy or Moonah. We will be direct about this when you enquire, because it is the kind of thing that matters more after you move in than before.
How to Enquire About Magra
Confirm your NDIS plan includes High Physical Support SDA funding and verify your approved category with your support coordinator.
Call (08) 7071 9276 to discuss your support needs, approved funding, and current Magra property availability.
Arrange a visit with your family or support coordinator to tour the home, meet our team, and view the available facilities.
Our registered nurse prepares your care plan and coordinates a smooth transition with your providers before move-in day.
Who Our Magra Homes Suit
Our Magra properties are High Physical Support SDA. They are likely to suit you if:
- You have SDA funding in your NDIS plan under the High Physical Support design category
- You use a powered wheelchair and require hoist transfers
- You rely on equipment that needs reliable power
- You want an accessible rural setting with road access to Hobart's health services
- You need SDA housing and daily support from a single provider
If you do not have SDA funding yet, or you are unsure which design category applies to you, call us before you apply. We can tell you whether Magra is a realistic option for your situation, and we would rather have that conversation early than after you have waited months for an approval that does not match the housing available.

Why Choose Care Assure for NDIS Housing in Magra?
Tasmania has very few registered SDA providers, and fewer still operating High Physical Support homes outside central Hobart. Here is what participants, families, and support coordinators get with Care Assure in Magra.
- One of only four SDA providers in Hobart: Provider choice in Tasmania is genuinely limited. We take that responsibility seriously and encourage early contact, even before your SDA funding is confirmed.

- High Physical Support specialists: Both Magra homes are HPS, the design category in highest demand and shortest supply across Tasmania. Ceiling hoists, backup power, automated doors, and full wheelchair accessibility built in, not retrofitted.
![icon]()
- SDA and daily support from one provider: SDA funds the home, not the people who support you in it. Care Assure provides both, so there is no coordination gap between your housing provider and your support team.
![icon]()
- Registered nurse oversight: A registered nurse writes and reviews every resident's care plan before move-in, and updates it when your needs change. This is not standard across Tasmanian providers.
![icon]()
- Backup power in a rural location: For participants relying on life-sustaining equipment, power reliability in the Derwent Valley is a practical consideration, not a specification on a brochure.

- Fifteen homes across Tasmania: If Magra is not the right fit, we operate across Greater Hobart and the Launceston region. One conversation covers all our available options

- Transparent vacancies: Real properties with real addresses on our properties page, not a generic waiting list with no timeframe

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Does Care Assure operate NDIS housing in Magra?
Yes. Care Assure operates two High Physical Support Specialist Disability Accommodation homes in Magra, in Tasmania's Derwent Valley. Both include ceiling hoists, backup power, automated doors, and full wheelchair accessibility, with 24-hour support and registered nurse oversight of the care plan.
- What SDA design category are the Magra homes?
High Physical Support. This is the highest specification SDA category, funded for participants with extreme functional impairment who need specialist equipment built into the home. You will need an HPS approved in your NDIS plan to live in these properties.
- Does Care Assure provide respite care in Magra?
No. Care Assure's Tasmanian respite care is delivered in our Supported Independent Living homes in Greater Hobart: Glenorchy, Kingston, and Moonah. The Magra properties are Specialist Disability Accommodation for permanent residents and do not take respite bookings.
- How far is Magra from Hobart?
Magra is in the Derwent Valley, north-west of Hobart, with road access to Greater Hobart and Royal Hobart Hospital. New Norfolk is the nearest town for everyday services, including a medical centre and pharmacy. Public transport in the Derwent Valley is limited, which is worth factoring into your decision if you do not have access to a vehicle or transport support.
- Is daily support included in the Magra homes?
SDA funds the home, not the support workers. Daily support is funded separately through SIL or your Core Supports budget. Care Assure provides both, so your housing and your daily support come from one provider with one registered nurse overseeing your care plan.
- Are there vacancies at Magra?
Vacancy changes. Our properties page lists current availability across all Tasmanian homes. Given how few SDA providers operate in Tasmania, we encourage participants and support coordinators to contact us early, even before SDA funding is confirmed, so we can discuss realistic timelines. Call (08) 7071 9276.
