The NDIS provides five different types of Specialist Disability Accommodation, to suit different needs.  Offering different types of housing allows people and their families to plan for the future, and get the support they need without losing their connections to the community. 

The different building categories for SDA homes are:

• Improved Liveability – this type of housing has features that make it easier for people with disabilities to live comfortably. It may include things like accessible entrances, grab bars in the bathroom, and adjustable kitchen counters that are easier to use.
• Fully Accessible: These homes are designed for people who use wheelchairs or have physical challenges. They have wide doors, spacious rooms, wheelchair-friendly bathrooms, and continuous pathways throughout the house. The kitchen surfaces are also lowered for easier access, and the hallways are spacious.
• Robust Housing – this type of housing is built to be strong and secure, suitable for people with challenging behaviours or high-risk needs. The walls are reinforced, doors are secure, and the flooring is resistant. It may also have durable furniture, controlled access, alarm systems, sensory features, and calming spaces to provide a safe and stable environment.
• High Physical Support – this housing is for people with significant functional impairments who require a lot of assistance and specialised equipment. It may include features such as ceiling hoists, adjustable beds, specialised equipment, communication technology, and space for on-site support staff to ensure their needs are met.

How is SDA different from SIL?

If you’re new to the NDIS, you may have heard the terms Supported Independent Living and Specialist Disability Accommodation, and wondered what they mean. SIL and SDA both assist people living with disability, but differently. Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides the support services you need to live independently, while Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) provides special housing for those who have a level of support needs.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides services that help you do things in everyday life, such as assistance with personal care (e.g. showering and getting dressed), help with cooking and housework chores, transport, and skills for daily living. Many NDIS participants access SIL while living in a group home or shared accommodation, SIL funding is flexible and can be used in different types of living situations, based on what best meets your needs.  This means that you can access SIL while living at home with your family, living on your own, or in a group home.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is funding that covers the cost of living in a home that designed to meet your support needs. It is intended for people who require a high level of care, and provides special features that enable independence and safety. An SDA may include features such as wheelchair-friendly doorways, ramps, benchtops at appropriate levels, specialised equipment, robust building materials, or assistive technology. SDA funding does not cover supports that you already receive through the NDIS, and is specifically for housing. You can’t use SDA funding to pay for things like rent, utilities, discretionary items, or holidays.
