Specialist Disability Accommodation

Specialist Disability Accommodation built for how you live

Purpose-built SDA homes designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

Overview

What is specialist disability accommodation?

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is NDIS funding for the home itself: housing designed or built to meet very high support needs. It's different from SIL, which funds the support you receive at home.

SDA homes are built to one of four design categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust and High Physical Support. Many residents also receive SIL from us in the same home, so housing and support work together.

How we do it differently

  • 01

    Housing and support together

    SDA homes with SIL delivered by the same team, so everything is coordinated.

  • 02

    Right design category

    We help match you with a home that fits your SDA funding and needs.

  • 03

    Help with the process

    We work with your support coordinator on SDA evidence and applications.

What's included
