What Are The Different Levels of NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation
There are 4 separate types of Specialist Disability Accommodation that are funded by the NDIS. These 4 categories of SDA design, as set out in the SDA Rules (2020), include improved liveability, robust, fully accessible and high physical support. Once you have been approved for Specialist Disability Accommodation from the NDIS you will know what category you are eligible for.
Type 1: Improved Livability Housing SDA
Improved Liveability Specialised Disability Accommodation is designed for people living with disabilities that impact their sensory, intellectual or cognitive abilities. The accommodation includes features that assist in the daily lives of people with these disabilities.
Type 2: Robust Housing SDA
Robust housing Specialised Disability Accommodation is designed with impact-resistant materials to protect residents and their living environment. This form of Specialised Disability Accommodation is best suited for those living with complex behaviour disabilities where they may be a risk to themselves or others.
Type 3: Fully Accessible Housing SDA
Some disabilities can cause significant physical impairments, which can make living in ordinary housing virtually impossible. Fully accessible Specialised Disability Accommodation makes daily life easier with increased accessibility, adjustments to appliance heights, door and window automation and more.
Type 4: High Physical Support SDA
High physical support Specialised Disability Accommodation is designed for people with significant physical impairments as a result of their disability. It features the fully accessible housing design outlined above, as well as emergency power solutions, assistive technology and household communication technology.
