Pricing for specialist disability accommodation, also referred to as SDA, is the latest item set to be reviewed by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Announced by the Minister for the NDIS, Bill Shorten, on 22 August 2022, the review “will evaluate the impact of current NDIS, prices on supply and demand. Set new SDA prices will guide market investment to areas that will most benefit people with disabilities that need SDA housing over the next five years.”

Specialist disability accommodation funding Redlands

Specialist disability accommodation provides participants with housing designed to meet their specific needs. For participants with extreme functional impairment, and/or very high support needs, the NDIS provides funding for housing that meets your specific needs.

There are four types of SDA funding provided through the NDIS, this includes:

  • Improved liveability – these dwellings are built for people who have intellectual, cognitive, and sensory impairments.
  • Robust – this includes resilient housing, which is designed for people who exhibit behaviours which could place them or the people that support them at risk.
  • Fully accessible – this level of housing incorporates a high level of physical support for people with a significant functional impairment.
  • High physical support category – similar to the requirements in the Fully Accessible Design category, this category of housing also includes additions such as structural provisions for ceiling hoists and clear opening width doors to all rooms.

Am I eligible for specialist disability accommodation funding?

According to the NDIS, participants eligible for SDA must:

  • Have an extreme functional impairment or very high support needs
  • Meet the specialist disability accommodation needs requirement and funding criteria.
