Your SDA, Your Choice: How to Move, Upgrade and Find the Right Home for You

Are you or someone you love or support currently living in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) but feeling like it’s not quite right?

Maybe the home no longer suits your needs, or you’re living with people you don’t feel comfortable with, or maybe it just feels okay and you’re not aware of the other options available.

You Have Choice and Control in SDA Housing

Just because you’re already in SDA doesn’t mean you have to stay if it’s not working for you.

“It’s not awful… but it’s not right either.”

Too often, we speak to NDIS participants and families who feel stuck in an SDA arrangement that no longer fits their goals or lifestyle. Whether it’s the environment or location it’s important to know: you always have the right to explore other SDA options.

What Is Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

SDA is funded through the NDIS for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. It’s not just about housing, it’s about creating a safe, accessible, and empowering space tailored to your lifestyle.

SDA homes are designed to give participants:

A purpose-built home that meets their physical needs
More privacy and independence
Choice over where and how they live
Support that suits their daily routine

But sometimes, the SDA you’re in now no longer supports those goals. And that’s where we come in.

Yes, You Can Move to a Better SDA Home

If you’re feeling unhappy or just unsure if you’re in the right place, you don’t have to stay where you are.

Here’s how you can start making a change:

1. Speak With Your NDIS Support Coordinator

Let them know what’s not working. Whether it’s the living arrangements, location, or the home itself, you have the right to explore alternative SDA options that better fit your needs.

2. Use Our Free SDA Eligibility Tool

Your current NDIS plan might not reflect your actual needs anymore.

Our Free SDA Eligibility Tool helps you:

Assess whether you’re in the right SDA category
Check if you could be approved for more appropriate or higher-level funding
Get clarity on your next steps
Get an accurate eligibility assessment in less than 10mins

3. Explore New SDA Housing Options

There is brand-new SDA stock available across Australia, including:

Modern apartments in city hubs
Spacious villas and duplexes in quiet suburbs
Secure robust homes for higher support needs

Each home is designed with accessibility, safety, and comfort in mind.

4. Review and Update Your SDA Funding

You might be eligible for a different SDA design category or higher level of support funding.

We help you:

Understand your current SDA budget
Access new assessments and supporting reports
Advocate for the funding you need through your NDIS plan

You Deserve a Home That Fits You

Your quality of life matters. The right SDA home can improve your independence, daily comfort, and overall happiness.

If your current Specialist Disability Accommodation doesn’t give you:

A home that matches your personal preferences
A quiet, safe place you can truly relax
Support that respects your independence and routines
People you choose to live with, or the option to live alone

It’s time for a change.
