Frequently asked questions
What is SDA accommodation?
SDA accommodation is Specialist Disability Accommodation — purpose-built or modified housing funded by the NDIS for participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.
Who qualifies for SDA accommodation?
You need SDA funding in your NDIS plan. This requires evidence of extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, alongside a housing plan showing SDA is the most appropriate response.
Is SDA accommodation the same as SIL?
No. SDA covers the dwelling; SIL (Supported Independent Living) covers the support delivered inside it. Many participants have both, funded and arranged separately.
