My SDA: your guide to Specialist Disability Accommodation
“My SDA” is about two things: the Specialist Disability Accommodation home that suits you, and the SDA funding in your NDIS plan that helps pay for it. This page explains what SDA is, how to tell if it is in your plan, the four design categories, and how to find your SDA home in South Australia.
Find My SDA lists 52 SDA homes, with 124 current vacancies. We are a licensed agency (RLA 344702) and a registered NDIS SDA provider, so you deal with one team from your first enquiry to moving in.
What is SDA?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing designed for people with an extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA homes are built to the NDIS SDA Design Standard, with features like step-free access, wider doorways, accessible bathrooms and, in some homes, ceiling hoists or on-site overnight support rooms.
SDA pays for the home itself. The day-to-day support you receive in the home is funded separately, often as Supported Independent Living (SIL). Knowing the difference helps you understand exactly what “my SDA” covers.
Is SDA in my NDIS plan?
SDA appears as its own line item in your NDIS plan. If it is funded, your plan usually names a design category, and sometimes a building type and location. If you are unsure, your support coordinator or NDIS planner can confirm it.
If you don't have SDA funding yet but think you may be eligible, you can raise it at your next plan review with supporting evidence from your health team. Our FAQs cover eligibility in more detail.
The four SDA design categories
Your plan is usually funded for one design category. Explore homes in each one:

How do I know if I have SDA in my NDIS plan?
SDA is a separate line item in your NDIS plan. If it is funded, your plan will name a design category and often a building type and location.
