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 The Basin 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.
