NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Melbourne South East, Darwin and the NT Regions

The Right Home Can Change Everything

Finding the right place to live is about more than four walls; it’s about safety, access, comfort, and dignity. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing specially designed for people who need high levels of physical or behavioural support.


At Your Life Your Choice Care Services, we partner with trusted SDA providers to help you find a home that suits your needs and coordinate your support every step of the way.


We know that navigating SDA funding and eligibility can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to simplify the process, advocate for your preferences, and ensure you’re never left to figure it out alone.

What is SDA?

SDA homes are built with accessibility, safety, and comfort in mind. They can include:

Reinforced walls, hoists, or other safety features

An icon of a door with a handle.

Step-free entries and wide doorways

An icon of a house with a chimney.

Shared or single-resident layouts

Locations close to community, family, or services

Depending on your level of need and NDIS plan, you might live in a shared home, apartment, villa, or standalone house.

If you’re unsure about your eligibility, we’re here to help you explore your options and talk with your support coordinator or planner.

Frequently Asked Questions

SDA

  • Do I have to share a home with others?

    No. Depending on your plan and preference, you might be eligible for single-occupancy SDA or apartments with on-site support.

  • Will I lose my current support if I move into SDA?

    Not at all. SIL and other supports can continue as part of your transition, and we’ll help coordinate everything.

  • I’m not sure if I qualify. What should I do?

    Reach out to us. We’ll guide you through the process and help you speak with the NDIS or your support coordinator.
