SDA Eligibility & Funding
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) application process involves several key steps to ensure you receive appropriate housing supports tailored to your needs.
Here’s a summary of how the process works:
Your NDIS plan is reviewed to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria for SDA. Eligibility is based on your functional impairment, housing needs, and whether SDA supports are deemed reasonable and necessary.
A detailed assessment is conducted by allied health professionals (such as occupational therapists) to evaluate your disability and support needs. This assessment helps determine the level and type of SDA required.
Supporting Documents: You need to gather comprehensive evidence to support your SDA application. This includes reports from healthcare professionals, functional assessments, and any relevant documentation that demonstrates your need for specialised housing.
SDA Housing Needs Assessment: This specific assessment outlines your housing requirements, such as the need for physical modifications or particular design features to support your independence.
SDA Request Form: You, with the help of your NDIS planner or support coordinator, complete and submits an SDA request form. This form includes details about your needs and the evidence gathered during the assessment phase.
NDIS Plan Update: If SDA is approved, your NDIS plan is updated to include funding for SDA. The level of SDA funding is determined based on your needs and the type of accommodation required (e.g., basic, improved liveability, fully accessible, robust, or high physical support).
NDIS Decision: The NDIS reviews the application and decides whether to approve SDA funding. If approved, the funding is allocated in your NDIS plan, specifying the level of support and the amount of funding for SDA.
Provider Selection: Once funding is approved, you can start looking for suitable SDA providers who offer accommodations that meet your needs.
Choosing an SDA Provider: You will work with your support coordinator or housing specialist to find and select an SDA provider that matches your funding and housing needs.
Move-In Process: After selecting a suitable SDA, you will move into your new accommodation. The SDA provider may offer additional support to ensure the transition is smooth and that the accommodation meets your needs.
Overall, the NDIS SDA application process is designed to ensure that people with significant disability-related housing needs receive the appropriate supports to live independently and safely. The process requires careful planning, gathering evidence, and coordination with healthcare professionals and NDIS planners.
