WHAT IS SDA? • Supported Disability Accommodation (SDA) • Purpose-built homes for high support needs • Focus on safety, accessibility, and independence • Funded separately via NDIS SDA funding • Not about daily care – it’s about the home • Often paired with SIL support
WHAT IS SIL? • Supported Independent Living (SIL) • Daily support services (e.g. cooking, cleaning, personal care) • Promotes independent living • Can be delivered in: • SDA homes • Private rentals • Family homes • Funded through NDIS SIL funding
HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER • Most SDA residents also receive SIL support • SDA = where you live • SIL = how you're supported in that home • Working together to support independence & quality of life
FINAL THOUGHTS • Choosing the right option depends on support needs and housing goals. • Always consult your NDIS planner or provider. • Supported disability accommodation is about more than a house—it's the foundation for better living.
