How to pay for SDA
NDIS funding information
Specialist disability accommodation works with a few different funded NDIS supports.
When the NDIS is deciding if SDA is right for you, it thinks about what other supports you need and how they will work together. It only funds SDA if it is a better option for your disability support needs than other supports alone.
You only need SDA if you need to live in a specialised home and you need very high levels of person-to-person support.
Things you will discuss:
- What supports you need in your home
- What your unique situation and needs are
- If you need modifications
- Any reports and assessments you provide
- If you need significant person-to-person supports
- Other home and living options that might work for you
- What value for money looks like for you.
Visit the specialist disability accommodation page on the NDIS website to learn more about SDA and the NDIS.
Board and lodging
The NDIS SDA support package does not include rent and boarding costs. You can pay for these costs with your Disability Support Pension, Commonwealth Rent Assistance, or other sources of income you may have.

FAQs
SDA is for people with disability who meet the NDIS eligibility criteria for specialist disability accommodation, or who want to self-fund their SDA. We can help you understand if SDA is right for you.
We provide SDA homes in Penrith, New South Wales. They are fully accessible, high physical support properties, and homes designed for shared living. It all depends on you, your support needs and how you want to live.
Supports are not included in SDA funding. SDA funding is for the home itself. We can organise the supports you need separately, for example supported independent living (SIL). However you want to live, we will make sure you feel supported.
How much SDA costs depends on your NDIS funding and support needs. We will give you a personalised quote and make it easy to understand any out-of-pocket contributions and how to use your plan to cover costs.
