What Is Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

SDA refers to Specialist Disability Accommodation service, specifically designed under the NDIS scheme to support participants with high support needs and functional impairments. It enables participants to live with dignity and comfort in well-designed, fully equipped, and modified homes to continue living safely. SDA assists individuals with mobility, day-to-day activities in a safe environment to provide a premium quality of life.

Specialist Disability Accommodation is not a usual NDIS housing support, but participants with severe disabilities can benefit from SDA housing. Individuals who can not live in conventional homes can request SDA support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme guidelines.

Who Is Eligible for SDA Funding?

SDA funding is not provided for all NDIS participants. The eligible candidates must fulfil the criteria:

  • An approved NDIS plan with SDA support
  • Participants declared with extreme disability and high support needs
  • Meet NDIS Housing and Living criteria
    If you want to get SDA support and the process. Don’t worry, With Care Support has got you covered. To get started with your SDA application, ensure you meet SDA eligibility criteria. The approval of your SDA application depends on your physical and mental health assessments, the support provider and the NDIS planner.
