FAQs

What is Specialist Disability Accommodation?

NDIS-funded Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is for individuals with very high support requirements or severe functional impairments. These homes are either modified or purpose-built. They encompass elements geared for accessibility like ramps, ceiling hoists and wide doorways to make everyday life easier for residents and their caregivers.

What’s included in the Specialist Disability Accommodation?

SDA funding covers the cost of the physical building, which has been modified or purpose-built according to these four levels of need:

Improved Liveability
Robust
Fully Accessible
High Physical Comfort

This is distinct from Supported Independent Living (SIL), which refers to the provision of personalised services that are offered within these homes.

What are the benefits of living in an SDA home?

An SDA offers residents homes with the physical infrastructure, such as sturdy construction, ramps and extra-wide doorways, to accommodate various levels of functional impairment. Also, specialised trained staff are available to provide day-to-day services, focusing on promoting independence, connection and quality of life.

How does NDIS funding work for Specialist Disability accommodation?

NDIS funding for SDA covers the physical home, rather than the everyday costs of living. NDIS pays the Specialist Disability Accommodation provider directly, who is responsible for constructing and maintaining the accessible dwelling. A potential resident’s NDIS plan should include SDA funding, and they also need to meet eligibility criteria. Residents still need to contribute to rent and day-to-day expenses such as food and utilities.

How can I change my SDA provider if I’m unhappy with my current accommodation?

To swap your current Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA) provider to another one, you need to end your present service agreement by writing a formal letter, letting your current provider know about the change. Once organised, you’ll also need to include your new provider in your updated NDIS plan.

How do I get support with daily living and my personal goals in an SDA home?

The combination of SDA and SIL funding allows people with disability to receive exactly the level of care that they need. This assistance with daily tasks such as personal care, domestic duties and social activities helps residents to live a more independent life that supports their self-confidence, self-management and contributes to their overall personal growth.
