What is Specialist Disability Accomodation?

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to funding granted by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for accommodation.

SDA housing is specifically designed and built to support individuals with severe disabilities or high support needs.

These accommodations are equipped with various features tailored to the individual, such as wheelchair accessibility, sensory aids, specialised support technology and anything else a resident may need.

All of this is designed to enhance the quality of life and independence of residents.

There are four SDA Housing Categories

Improved Livability

These properties have features that make them more suitable and liveable for people with disabilities but do not require specialist design.

It focuses on physical access for people with cognitive, intellectual or sensory impairments.

Fully Accessible

This category is especially for people with physical disabilities.

These properties are designed with full accessibility in mind, including features like wheelchair ramps, wider doorways and accessible bathrooms.

Robust

These properties are built to withstand specific types of damage or wear and tear, making them suitable for individuals with challenging behaviors or complex support needs

High Support

These properties are designed for individuals with very high support needs, such as those requiring 24/7 assistance or specialised medical equipment.

Who is eligible for SDA housing?
