What is specialist disability accommodation?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing designed or modified specifically for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA is not support services — it's the physical building itself. SDA properties are purpose-built or significantly modified to meet accessibility standards across categories including Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust, and High Physical Support.
🏠 NDIS Specialist disability accommodation rates (2025–26)
SDA pricing is complex and varies significantly based on building type, design category, location, and number of residents. The NDIA publishes a separate SDA Pricing Arrangements document. Payments go directly to the SDA provider (landlord), not to the participant. SDA funding covers the cost of the property; your daily support is funded separately under Core supports.
