SDA is purpose built housing for people with extreme functional impairments or very high support needs: homes designed with accessibility in mind.
Think ramps, wider doorways, and features that make daily life safer and more independent. SDA funding sits within your NDIS plan and covers the property itself, separate from your support funding.
EDC doesn't own SDA properties, but we've built strong relationships with SDA providers and housing companies right across Australia. Our role is to help you find a home that genuinely works for you, and then deliver expert support once you're in it.
SDA is NDIS funding for housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA funding pays for the home itself, not the support you receive inside it.
There are four: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust and High Physical Support. Each has different design features, from better layouts and lighting through to wider doorways, ceiling hoist provision and emergency power.
SDA is for NDIS participants who meet specific SDA eligibility criteria. The NDIA decides based on evidence of your functional impairment and support needs, usually provided through occupational therapy and other allied health reports.
SDA is the specialised home. Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the day to day support provided in it. Many people living in SDA also receive SIL, and we can arrange both.
