SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is NDIS funding for accessible housing with design features. SIL (Supported Independent Living) is funding for daily support services and carers. You can have both - SDA covers your home, SIL covers the support staff helping you live there. Our SDA homes in Sunshine can accommodate various SIL arrangements.
SDA approval typically takes 2-6 months. The process includes: getting an Occupational Therapist assessment, submitting an SDA funding request through your Support Coordinator, NDIA review of your extreme functional impairment, and plan amendment or review. We can help connect you with Support Coordinators experienced with SDA applications.
SDA houses are standalone disability accommodation properties offering maximum privacy, spacious living areas, and private outdoor spaces. Ideal for participants who prefer independent living with full accessibility features.
High Physical Support SDA includes comprehensive accessibility features such as ceiling hoists, automated doors, backup power, and assistive technology. Designed for participants with significant physical impairment requiring 24/7 support.
Our local team understands the Sunshine area and can help you find the perfect SDA accommodation that meets your specific needs and lifestyle preferences.
