Understanding SDA Funding

Finding the right home is a challenge for everyone, but for those with disabilities, it can be even tougher. Thankfully, Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding to help eligible participants live more independently. But how do you know if you qualify and what steps do you need to take?

The Path to Your Perfect Place

Here's a breakdown of the process to get SDA Funding:

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility.  First, speak to your NDIS Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to discuss your needs and see if SDA funding might be a good fit.

Step 2: Needs Assessment.  The NDIS will assess your situation to determine the level of support you require and the specific features your ideal home would need.

Step 3: Funding Allocation.  Based on the assessment, the NDIS will allocate funding in your plan for a specific SDA design category (think features like wider doorways or assistive technology).
