Frequently Asked Questions

Who qualifies for Specialist Disability Accommodation?

You must be an NDIS participant and meet the strict eligibility criteria to qualify for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). The NDIS also assesses how the disability impacts daily life before approving the funding. The rules are very strict since it’s meant to provide housing for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

How to get SDA funding for NDIS?

To get SDA funding through the NDIS, you’ll need supporting assessments from health professionals. The reports must show why SDA is necessary for your safety and independence. Your support coordinator or planner can help submit evidence so NDIS SDA can be added to your plan.

What is the difference between SDA and SIL?

Both SDA and SIL are accommodation options for NDIS participants. SDA provides housing facilities to individuals with specialist housing needs. On the contrary, SIL (Supported Independent Living) is a support for people with disabilities who want to live as independently as possible. It covers the cost of support workers who help with cooking, personal care, and other daily tasks.

What are the different types of SDA?

There are four categories under NDIS SDA: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, High Physical Support, and Robust. Each type suits different levels of mobility as well as behavioural needs to make daily living safer and easier.

Can I live alone in SDA housing?

Yes, you can live alone in SDA housing if you have the funding. Some NDIS SDA homes are designed for single occupancy, while others are shared. Your choice depends on your plan, support needs, and the type of housing available.

How long does it take to move into SDA housing?

The timeline to shift into SDA housing varies, depending on availability, location, and support requirements. After the Specialist Disability Accommodation funding is approved, finding the right property can take weeks or sometimes months. If you need any help, Auslife Care can guide you through every step till you find a suitable living facility. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
