Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
What is SDA?
Supported Disability Accommodation (SDA) forms a crucial component of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), tailored to address the housing requirements of individuals with significant disabilities, necessitating specialized housing solutions to enhance their independence and overall well-being. SDA funding aims to enable access to suitable accommodations, offering diverse levels of support, accessibility, and adaptations based on individual needs.

Accessing Your Specialist Disability Accommodation
Accessing Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) involves a comprehensive process tailored to the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. To begin, individuals must be assessed for their eligibility under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). If deemed eligible, the NDIS will then evaluate whether the individual requires SDA as a part of their support plan. SDA aims to provide suitable housing options for those with extreme functional impairments or high support needs.
Once SDA eligibility is established, participants collaborate with their NDIS planner to determine the specific type of SDA that aligns with their requirements. There are various categories of SDA dwellings, ranging from group homes to apartments with modified features. The NDIS assists in finding appropriate accommodation providers or helping participants apply for funding to modify their existing homes. This process ensures that individuals with disabilities have access to housing solutions that cater to their distinct needs and improve their quality of life.
