The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a game changer in the way it focuses on ensuring support for people with a disability, their family and carers, is targeted to their needs and allows them to choose their service provider.

Appropriate housing is, of course, key for many people with a disability and there are excellent opportunities for community housing organisations to move into this space with Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) being one of the possible funded supports for those with extreme functional impairment or very high needs.

More than 460,000 Australians with disability are expected to enter the NDIS in the future, with 6 per cent of those having complex needs that will require specialist accommodation.

If SDA is funded under a participant’s plan, they will be able to choose their own accommodation provider. (The SDA funding only covers the property, with any other support costs being assessed and funded separately.)

The SDA provider is responsible for providing the required home modifications and assistive technologies, including updating that might be needed in the future.
