SDA pricing and payments

Some NDIS participants receive funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).

SDA has accessible features to help residents live more independently and have better access to the supports in their home. 

NDIS provides funding through a participant’s plan and the participant, often with additional support such as a support coordinator, then finds and applies for the SDA option that best suits their needs.

SDA funding in participant plans is used for housing, not services or supports.
