What is specialist disability accommodation (SDA)?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a type of housing funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for individuals with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA homes are designed to support the delivery of specialized care and to cater to the specific requirements of residents, providing a more accessible and supportive living environment. These accommodations often feature customized designs, assistive technologies, and enhanced physical accessibility to help residents live as independently as possible. The aim of SDA is to offer safe, comfortable, and appropriate housing options that enable people with disabilities to receive the necessary support while promoting their independence and quality of life.
