Specialist Disability Accommodation
Accessible homes, built around what you need.
Specialist Disability Accommodation, or SDA, is about the home — a house or apartment built or changed to suit people with very high support needs. Wider doors, hoists, level entries, and safe design. SDA pays for the home. The support workers who help you inside that home are funded separately, usually through Supported Independent Living.

A three-step rhythm
we live by.
Every engagement follows the same beat: understand you first, deliver next, then keep it honest as your goals evolve.

Understand
We look at your plan, your access needs, and where you want to live.

Match the home
We look for a home with the right design category, location and housemates, if you will have any.
- 03
Move in well
We help with the paperwork and the move, and we make sure your daily supports are lined up for day one.

Working with your SIL provider so your home and your support fit together
The things people
ask us.
-
What is the difference between SDA and SIL?
SDA is the home — the building itself and how it is built. SIL is the help you receive inside that home, such as support workers. They are different services with different funding. Many people have both, but you can have one without the other.
-
Who can get SDA?
Only a small number of participants. You usually need extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, and SDA must be written into your NDIS plan by the NDIA.
-
Do I pay rent in an SDA home?
Yes. SDA funding pays the housing provider, and you still pay a reasonable rent contribution from your own income, plus your everyday living costs. We explain your exact costs before you sign anything.
