Your Life, Your Way with Specialist Disability Accommodation

What is Specialist Disability Accommodation?

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing funded by the NDIS, designed to meet the unique needs of people with high and complex support requirements.

Think of it was more than just bricks and mortar – it’s about creating a home that works for you. With purpose-built, accessible features, SDA homes help maximise your independence and make daily life easier, so you can focus on living your best life.

These thoughtfully designed spaces are tailored with accessibility and liveability in mind, reducing the need for extra help from support workers or informal caregivers. It’s about giving you the tools and environment you need to thrive.

While SDA funding covers the physical home, your in home & community care support is funded separately. This service supports you with daily tasks at home and staying active in your community.

What makes SDA different?

SDA homes are held to strict NDIS design standards, ensuring every home is safe, accessible, and tailored to suit your needs. These standards make a real difference in enabling your independence and quality of life.

Depending on your funding and support needs, there are four SDA design categories:

• Improved Liveability
• Robust
• Fully Accessible
• High Physical Support

MS Queensland specialises in high physical support, single occupancy apartments, designed to foster your independence and comfort.

I now have my own independence and freedom; I can do things for myself. Life is so much easier – the accessible bathroom and non-slip surfaces. I can now do my own washing and cook. I have put a BBQ in the courtyard to cook when people come over, and I am adding in a planter box to grow herbs. I will enjoy doing gardening with my nephews when they visit – Josh, Toowoomba SDA Customer
