What is SDA?

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing for people with disability who have very high support needs. These homes are designed to make daily life easier and safer.

SDA homes may include:

  • Wide doors and hallways
  • Wheelchair accessible bathrooms
  • Hoists or assistive equipment
  • Smart technology or automated doors
  • Safer and stronger building materials


Four types of SDA design

Improved Livability

Homes designed for people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive disability. May include better lighting, colour contrast, and easier layouts.

How do you get SDA?

SDA usually needs strong evidence and clear planning.


To get SDA in your NDIS plan, you usually need:

01

Evidence from health professionals (such as an Occupational Therapist)

02

A Home and Living assessment

03

Information about your support needs

04

A request to the NDIS during a plan meeting or review

The NDIS decides if SDA is reasonable and necessary.

  • What is SDA accommodation?

    SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. It includes accessible features that can make it easier and safer to live at home.

  • Who is SDA for?

    SDA is generally for a small group of NDIS participants who meet specific SDA eligibility and funding criteria, often linked to very high support needs.

  • How is SDA different from SIL?

    SDA is the home. SIL is the support inside the home.


    SDA funding relates to the housing design and “bricks and mortar”. SIL funding relates to daily living supports delivered in the home.

  • Can I live in SDA without SIL?

    Sometimes, yes. Some people have SDA funding but use different supports in the home, depending on their plan and needs. Others have both SDA and SIL.

  • What does SDA funding pay for?

    SDA funding supports the cost of specialist housing features. It is separate from day-to-day living costs and separate from in-home support hours.

  • What are the SDA design categories?

    There are four SDA design categories: Improved Liveability, Robust, Fully Accessible, and High Physical Support.

  • Are the properties on this page owned by Chosen Family?

    No. Chosen Family is not an SDA provider. The listings shown are from our SDA network partners.

  • If I like a property, what happens next?

    If you share which listing you’re interested in, we can connect you with the SDA provider or partner managing that vacancy and support you to understand the next steps.

  • Do you provide SIL in SDA homes?

    We provide SIL with 1:1 support only. If the home and your plan are the right fit, we can talk about how 1:1 SIL could work alongside SDA.
