Specialist Disability Accommodation

What is Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a type of NDIS funded housing designed for people living with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. These purpose-built homes offer enhanced accessibility and safety features to help participants live more independently.

SDA is more than just housing — it’s about empowering eligible NDIS participants to live with greater freedom, dignity and control. The level of SDA funding a participant receives is determined by the NDIA based on assessments from an Occupational Therapist and the participant's individual support needs

What Types of SDA Homes Can You Access?

We offer a range of SDA housing options to suit different lifestyles and support requirements:

• Apartments – Private, self-contained units within a larger building
• Duplexes / Villas / Townhouses – Semi-attached homes with shared walls
• Houses – Standalone properties with private gardens or courtyards
• Group Homes – Shared accommodation for 4–5 residents with round-the-clock support

All of our SDA properties are designed with comfort, accessibility, and community integration in mind.

SDA Accessibility Categories

Each SDA home is built to meet one or more of the following NDIS-recognised accessibility categories:

Improved Liveability

Designed for people with sensory, cognitive, or intellectual impairments, featuring safer layouts, lighting and visual contrasts.

Fully Accessible

Equipped with extensive physical accessibility features such as wide doorways, step-free entry and reinforced handrails.

Robust Housing

Built with durable, impact-resistant materials for individuals with complex behaviours that may involve damage to property.

High Physical Support

Provides advanced infrastructure including ceiling hoists, assistive tech, backup power, and automation systems to support high physical needs.

Who Can Access Our SDA Homes?

SDA housing is available to NDIS participants aged 18+ who meet the following criteria:

• Have a permanent disability with high or very high support needs

Many participants approved for SDA are also funded for Supported Independent Living (SIL) to receive 24/7 care services while living in their accommodation.
