SPECIALIST DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION (SDA)
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to a range of housing solutions tailored specifically for individuals with significant functional impairments or very high support needs. Its
primary aim is to streamline access to necessary supports. Typically, SDA arrangements involve shared living arrangements with a small cohort of individuals. Alternatively, depending on
individual requirements and circumstances, one may opt for independent living within SDA.
Funding for SDA encompasses the costs associated with the physical structure of the home or building. However, occupants are generally responsible for covering rent and other personal expenses. It’s important to clarify that SDA funding does not encompass the provision of services or support within the living environment.
