Who this support is for

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing designed for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Only a small share of NDIS participants are eligible, and SDA must be included in your plan. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, we can help you understand the process.

How we can help

  • Understanding SDA eligibility and the evidence the NDIA needs
  • Looking for a suitable SDA home in Melbourne’s north
  • Coordinating the move and settling into your new home
  • Supported Independent Living (SIL) and personal care in your SDA home

SDA design categories

SDA homes are built to one of four design categories, depending on your needs:

  • Improved Liveability: for people with sensory, intellectual or cognitive impairment
  • Fully Accessible: for people with significant physical impairment
  • Robust: for people who need a resilient home that reduces risk to themselves and others
  • High Physical Support: for people with very high physical support needs, often with assistive technology built in

How it’s funded

SDA is funded from Capital Supports – Specialist Disability Accommodation and covers the cost of the home itself. Your day-to-day support in the home, such as SIL, is funded separately from Core Supports. You also pay a reasonable rent contribution from your own income.

Areas we cover

We support participants across Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I’m eligible for SDA?
Eligibility depends on your functional impairment or support needs, and usually needs an occupational therapist’s assessment. Your support coordinator can help you apply.

What’s the difference between SDA and SIL?
SDA is the home. SIL is the support you receive inside it.

Can I choose where I live?
Yes. You choose your SDA home and your support provider separately.
