Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a specialised form of housing designed to cater to individuals with extreme functional impairment or high support needs. It goes beyond traditional housing, offering modified living spaces and features that accommodate specific disabilities. These accommodations may include assistive technologies, wheelchair accessibility, or design elements tailored to the needs of the residents. SDA enables individuals to live more independently. It allows them to navigate their living spaces comfortably, perform daily tasks, and pursue personal goals without constant reliance on external assistance. Having a home that caters to their specific needs grants individuals a sense of control over their environment, fostering autonomy and self- sufficiency.
NDIS service providers can strive to place SDA homes in communities that are designed to be inclusive. This allows individuals with disabilities to interact and engage with neighbours and participate in community events, breaking social barriers. By providing spaces where individuals feel comfortable and included, SDA housing contributes to reducing the social isolation often experienced by people with disabilities. Specialist Disability Accommodation funding covers the expenses related to the residence or structure where the participant resides. However, typically, the participant will still be responsible for paying rent or additional personal expenses associated with living in SDA. This funding does not include the services or assistance participant may receive within their place of residence.
