Improved Liveability Robust Fully Accessible High Physical Support

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to housing specifically designed to support individuals with extreme functional impairments or high support needs due to their disability.

SDA is a key component of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, aiming to provide suitable and accessible living arrangements for people with significant disabilities.

SDA properties are purpose-built to meet the unique needs of residents, incorporating features such as wheelchair accessibility, assistive technology, and specialized design elements that cater to specific disabilities.

Why SDA Matters

Importance of SDA

SDA provides essential housing solutions that enable individuals with disabilities to live independently and with dignity.

Without access to appropriate SDA housing, many people with high support needs would face significant challenges in finding safe and suitable living environments.

The tailored features of SDA homes enhance the quality of life for residents, allowing them to participate more fully in their communities.

Bridging the Gap

SDA Demand & Supply Gap

Despite the crucial role of SDA, there is a significant gap between the demand for SDA homes and the available supply.

Currently, there are approximately 28,000 active participants needing an SDA home, with only 8,300 dwellings available, and 55% of those are not fit for purpose.

This gap highlights the urgent need for more suitable SDA properties to ensure that all individuals with disabilities have access to appropriate accommodation.
