Specialist Disability Accommodation
What is Specialist Disability
Accommodation (SDA)?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to accommodation that may be funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants who have an extreme functional impairment or very high supports needs. Put simply, SDA is the design and development of a participant’s physical environment i.e. a home, that can meet their needs and the delivery of support that caters for their needs. SDA does not include the support services associated with a participant, but instead the homes in which they are delivered.
NDIS sought to create an objective to ensure that all persons with disability have the same rights as any other member of Australian society. Specialist Disability Accommodation funding was established support persons with disability that will enhance independence, social participation and exercise control and choice in matters that affect their life i.e. the house in which they reside.
