Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Designed for Your Unique Needs
What is SDA?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is the ‘bricks and mortar’ capital component of disability accommodation supports funded by the NDIS. It provides supported disability accommodation for individuals with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, ensuring safe and accessible living environments.
New build SDA accommodation is specifically designed and constructed to meet the unique support requirements of individuals with disabilities. Not all people with disabilities receive an SDA housing response, with only 6% of NDIS participants being approved for specialist disability accommodation in their plans. For those looking for SDA housing in Victoria, there are various SDA housing providers available to assist with tailored housing solutions.
When a person is eligible for SDA, the NDIA allocates funding for the NDIS property within their plan. This funding covers the cost of the home or building but does not include NDIS assistance with daily life or other in-home support services. Residents are typically responsible for paying rent and personal living costs. If you’re searching for NDIS houses for rent, it’s essential to work with trusted SDA providers in Melbourne to find suitable options.
Care Fast specializes in supported accommodation for people with disabilities, offering independent living options that cater to individual needs. As one of the leading SDA providers in Melbourne, we help participants and investors navigate NDIS property investment opportunities while ensuring high-quality living standards.
For those in need of disability accommodation in Melbourne, or seeking guidance on SDA housing providers, Care Fast is here to support you in finding the right solution.
SDA funding from the NDIS covers the cost of the home or apartment you will live in, specifically designed to cater to your high support needs.
SDA Eligibility
SDA is for people who have very high support needs and require a specially designed home that allows them to live as independently as possible. Typically, this involves high levels of person-to-person support. To begin the process of applying for SDA, you will need a home and living goal, along with a detailed functional assessment and application completed by your occupational therapist and allied health team.
For more detailed information, you can visit the NDIS Home and Living Supports Request Form page.
