"I'm lost and looking for specialized disability housing "
Specialist disability accommodation (SDA) is a type of housing designed for people who have severe functional impairments or require extensive support. SDA dwellings include accessible features that allow residents to live more independently and allow other supports to be delivered more effectively and safely. Individual participants have autonomy over where they live, as opposed to a government agency dictating and deciding on provider applications.

QUICK LINKS
Funding levels will stay stable and will not be relied on big sums of money being pushed into the sector through grants or policy decisions; and Instead of being restricted to a small number of established providers who are familiar with the grant processes or established models of accommodation and support, individuals’ freedom of choice means that funding can flow to a wide range of providers who can offer a variety of products both in scale and innovative solutions. In other words, this means that there is more competition in this market due to individual/participant driven demand.
The SDA program
The SDA program has the potential to significantly alter the lives of Australians with disabilities. It is also a big opportunity for service providers who have been encouraged to construct better, more livable areas for people with disabilities than ever before by the government and the disability industry.

The fact that this market-driven strategy gives the disability housing industry more freedom and enables the introduction of unique and cutting-edge services should excite suppliers.
SDA homes category
SDA homes fall into a number of broad groups. The kind of category a home is assigned will affect how much financing a participant may claim and, consequently, how much a provider of SDAs can “charge.” If a dwelling is unable to fall into the following categories then it is not able to be enrolled in the program and receive SDA payments.
- New Build, Existing Stock, Legacy Stock
Four different types of buildings are further broken into categories:
- Apartments; Villas, Duplexes and Townhouses; Houses; and Group Homes.
The market for SDA is expanding very quickly, and as demand rises, so is the number of projects that are required. The Australian Government has admitted that there are some obstacles to persuading developers and service providers to participate in offering SDA. However, it appears that a deliberate and ongoing effort is being made to advance data collection and market knowledge in order to reassure investors and providers that SDA makes good commercial sense while also offering crucial housing for some of the most vulnerable members of the community. As always, our staff at OysterCare is ideally situated to help.

FAQS
The SDA Rules require all providers to be registered NDIS providers and for all dwellings to be enrolled with the NDIA. The SDA Rules outline dwelling enrolment requirements such as design categories, building types and other features that affect prices.
We aim to process dwelling enrolment applications within 28 days of receiving a complete and correct application.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to housing that has been specially designed for people who are unable to live in mainstream housing due to severe functional impairment or extremely high support needs.
SDA is housing that has been specially designed (or modified existing housing) for people with high intensity needs. In contrast, SIL refers to onsite supports and daily living services that enable people to live as independently as possible.
SDA is funded under the NDIS through individual participant plans. Under the NDIS, eligible participants receive funding in their plan that they can then use to approach the market to find an enrolled dwelling that meets their needs.
SDA is classified into four categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, High Physical Support, and Robust.
