Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Specialist Disability Accommodation, known as SDA, is an NDIS-funded housing solution for participants who need purpose-built or highly modified homes due to extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. First Priority Care works with participants and support coordinators to help eligible participants access SDA housing across Queensland.
What our Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) include
- Improved Liveability: features that improve function for participants with sensory, intellectual or cognitive disability.
- Fully Accessible: features designed for participants with significant physical disability.
- Robust: durable, easy-to-maintain homes for participants whose behaviour may present risk of damage.
- High Physical Support: homes with significant structural and technology modifications for participants with very high physical support needs, including ceiling hoists, automated doors and emergency backup power.

How we deliver it
We work with eligible participants, families and support coordinators to identify suitable SDA properties in the participant's preferred location, coordinate the transition from current housing into SDA, deliver SIL supports within the SDA property (SDA and SIL are often provided together), and liaise with SDA developers and property managers on the participant's behalf.

NDIS funding
SDA is funding for the home, not the support. It covers the cost of specially built or modified accommodation designed to meet the needs of participants who cannot be safely or appropriately housed in standard properties. SDA homes are built to one of four design categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust or High Physical Support. SDA funding is separate from your Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding and from your other NDIS supports. To access SDA, you must have SDA included in your NDIS plan.
