Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Everyone deserves a home that works for their needs. Hale Foundation provides specialist disability accommodation in Perth for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Our SDA homes are designed to be accessible, safe and comfortable, creating a living environment where you can feel settled, supported and at home.
What is Specialist Disability Accommodation?
Specialist disability accommodation, often shortened to SDA, is housing designed for a small group of NDIS participants with very high support needs.
These homes include specific design features that make daily life easier and safer, like improved accessibility and practical layouts that work well with assistive equipment. Specialist disability accommodation focuses on the physical home itself, while other supports are delivered separately, depending on your NDIS plan and eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Accessible housing may include features like wider doorways or step-free access, but SDA is more specialised. SDA homes are designed specifically for people with very high support needs and must meet strict NDIS design requirements. These homes support safety, accessibility and daily living in ways that standard accessible housing does not.
Specialist disability accommodation funding generally contributes to the cost of the housing itself, including the design features of the home. It doesn’t cover everyday living costs, such as rent, food, utilities or personal support. Exactly what is covered will depend on your individual NDIS plan and approval. Our team can help explain how SDA funding fits alongside your other NDIS supports.
Specialist disability accommodation is meant for a small number of NDIS participants who have extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Eligibility is assessed by the NDIS and depends on your individual circumstances and approved plan. Not everyone who receives NDIS funding will qualify for SDA, even if they require support in their daily life.
If your application for SDA is denied, it doesn’t mean you’re out of options for support. There may be other accommodation or support pathways that are better for your situation. We can help you explore the options available through the NDIS and explain what you may be eligible for.
