FAQs
Have questions about our services?
We got you covered
To be eligible for specialist disability accommodation you must be an NDIS participant with a permanent disability who has very high support needs that require specialist disability accommodation. In deciding whether you are eligible, the NDIA uses these initial broad criteria, which it applies to all funding support applications.
The SDA support must:
- assist a participant to reach their goals and aspirations
- facilitate the participant’s social and economic participation
- represent value for money, relative to benefits achieved and costs of alternative supports
- be good practice and is likely to be beneficial to the participant
- consider what’s reasonable for parents, carers, informal networks and the community to provide
- be most appropriately funded through the NDIS.
The NDIA will ultimately determine if you are eligible based on your specific application.
Specialist Disability Accommodation services have collaborated with the team at Vera Living to create a fantastic online tool to help you access your SDA eligibility.
This tool walks you through a series of questions to get an insight into your individual circumstances, including whether you would be likely to be eligible for SDA.
The tool can be accessed via their website - www.sdaservices.com.au/eligibility-tool
To be eligible for SIL NDIS funding you must be an NDIS participant with a permanent disability and need high levels of support from people throughout the day, every day, with daily tasks such as personal care and meal preparation.
You may be eligible for SIL NDIS funding but not SDA funding.
To get Specialist Disability Accommodation funding you must be an NDIS participant and apply to the NDIA to have it included under Capital Supports in your NDIS plan.
SDA is usually assessed for inclusion at existing plan reviews. You submit a change of circumstances application. The application process is extensive and you need to be thorough and address every assessment criteria.
You don’t need to have identified a particular house, apartment or group home to test for SDA eligibility. You can get SDA in a plan to be able to use in the future. This is particularly important if the health of the person with the disability, or their parents or carers, starts to deteriorate.
Here are five steps to getting SDA funding into your NDIS plan.
- Get funding and support to explore housing options – a Support Provider and Allied Health worker can be invaluable
- Develop a housing goal
- Develop a life vision
- Assess SDA eligibility
- Submit the SDA summary and evidence (SDA Housing Plan) to the NDIA.
The maximum rent contribution you can be charged is 25% of your disability support pension plus 100% of any Commonwealth Rental Assistance you receive. This will usually be significantly less than market rent. The balance of the rent is provided via the NDIS from your Specialist Disability Accommodation housing funding in your plan.
Are all living costs included in my rent?
No. Your rent doesn’t cover your in-home support (Supported Independent Living) costs for people to provide you with care and support. It also does not cover daily living costs, such as groceries and utility bills.
NDIS participants pay to live in specialist disability accommodation rentals. This includes paying rent and for SIL NDIS services and other living costs.
Taxpayers subsidise the cost of SDA via NDIS payments to the person with a disability.
Rent is paid out of SDA funding in a person’s NDIS plan. They may be required to make a “reasonable rent contribution” but this is capped at 25% of their disability support pension, plus any Commonwealth Rental Assistance they receive.
SIL costs are paid out of separate funding pool in a person’s plan.
In line with the important NDIS principles of choice and control, SDA payments are paid to the person with a disability under Capital Supports in their NDIS plan.
Applying for Specialist Disability Accommodation can take time because you need the NDIA to approve SDA in your NDIS plan. The application is extensive and you may have to wait until your annual plan review for the application to be considered.
You don’t have to have a specific SDA dwelling in mind to see if you are eligible. You can get SDA in a plan to use in the future.
Start thinking about SDA and getting assessed for eligibility if
- you are moving, or want to move out of your parents’ home
- your current housing is putting you or your carers at risk
- you are living with aging parents
- you are living in a group home and want to or need to leave
- you are stuck in hospital with no access to appropriate housing
- you are living in residential aged care.
- It can take up to 12 months to get SDA into an NDIS Plan so you should start early.
