High-Quality, Purpose-Built Housing for Greater Independence
At Adapt Family Health Solutions, we believe that your home should be a place of empowerment, not a barrier. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is specifically designed for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs who require specialized housing features to live safely and independently.
Our approach goes beyond “bricks and mortar.” We facilitate access to high-quality, modern homes that incorporate the latest assistive technology and physical design standards, ensuring that your living environment supports your long-term goals and daily wellbeing.
Understanding SDA Design Categories
We focus on matching participants to the specific SDA design category that aligns with their NDIS plan and functional requirements:
- Improved Liveability: Designed for people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairments. These homes include features like high-contrast doorways, clear lines of sight, and easy-to-navigate layouts.
- Fully Accessible: Specifically built for participants with significant physical functional impairment (e.g., wheelchair users). These dwellings feature automated doors, adjustable kitchen benchtops, and bathrooms designed for seated use.
- High Physical Support: For those requiring a very high level of specialized support. These homes include structural provisions for ceiling hoists, emergency power backup, and advanced assistive technology integration.
- Robust: Built for resilience and safety. These homes use high-impact materials and soundproofing to protect participants and staff, providing a secure environment for those with complex behavioral needs.
Integrated Care & Professional Support
Living in an SDA home is more than just having the right floor plan—it’s about the care delivered within it. As an NDIS-registered provider, Adapt Family Health Solutions offers a seamless link between your housing and your clinical needs:

- Positive Behaviour Support: We work alongside participants in Robust housing to implement strategies that foster stability, safety, and personal growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) refers to the specialized building or the “bricks and mortar” itself. SIL (Supported Independent Living) refers to the support services—the people who help you with cooking, cleaning, and personal care—delivered within that home.
SDA is typically funded for participants who cannot live in mainstream housing due to extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. The NDIS usually requires a comprehensive assessment from an Occupational Therapist (OT) to confirm eligibility.
The NDIS pays the “SDA payment” to the housing provider. Participants are responsible for a “Reasonable Rent Contribution,” usually capped at 25% of your Disability Support Pension plus any Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
We work with developers across Victoria and South Australia. We match your specific lifestyle needs—such as proximity to family or transport—with available vacancies in our South Morang, Shepparton, or Adelaide networks.
