Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a type of housing funded by the NDIS for participants with very high support needs or severe physical disabilities. These homes are specially built to make everyday life safer, easier, and more comfortable.
SDA homes can include important accessibility and support features such as:
The NDIS funds the specialist building and maintenance cost of these homes, including enrolled accessibility features. SDA is only available to a small group of participants with the highest housing needs.
To be considered for SDA funding in your NDIS plan, participants usually need to show that standard or modified housing cannot safely meet their support requirements and that SDA will improve long-term wellbeing, safety, and independence.
You may qualify if you have very high support needs connected to your disability and require specialised housing support.
Regular or lightly modified housing must be shown as unable to safely meet your daily support requirements.
SDA should demonstrate better outcomes for daily living, safety, quality of life, and long-term stability.
The NDIA assesses whether SDA is a reasonable and necessary support for your longer-term wellbeing and housing needs.
The process usually begins with a Home and Living Supports Request submitted to the NDIA. Your Local Area Coordinator or Support Coordinator can assist with the application process.
Not all SDA homes are the same. The NDIS has four SDA design categories, each built for different disability-related needs and levels of support.
Designed for participants with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive needs. These homes can include improved lighting, low-glare finishes, and simpler layouts that are easier to understand and navigate.
Built for people with physical disabilities, including wheelchair users. Features may include wide hallways, step-free entry, accessible bathrooms, and adjustable benches.
For participants who need a high level of daily physical support. These homes may include ceiling hoists, backup power, emergency call systems, and support worker space.
Built with strong, durable materials for participants whose behaviour may sometimes cause damage to standard housing. These homes are calmer, safer, and easier to maintain.
Healcare’s SDA properties are selected and designed with accessibility, safety, privacy, and everyday independence in mind, helping participants live in homes that genuinely support their goals.
SDA funding covers the specialist housing component of an enrolled SDA property, including:
