NDIS SDA in Sydney

NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation in Sydney (known as SDA) is a range of disability housing options designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

SDA homes have accessible features that help residents live more independently, such as ceiling hoists, bathroom rails, ramps, accessible doorways, or specially designed kitchens. They also allow supports to be delivered safely and more efficiently.

Home Caring provides contemporary SDA housing in Sydney. Our affordable housing combines accessibility with style, so residents can be fully supported while living in an appealing home that they’re proud of.

Our SDA accommodation in Sydney suburbs cover the following housing design categories:

• Improved Liveability – features include safe and continuous accessways for people with physical impairments, physical access provision, accessible bathrooms and kitchens, special lighting and sensory features, improved wayfinding.
• Robust – resilient homes with robust construction that reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others, featuring secure doors and windows, and enough space to support people with complex behaviours.
• Fully Accessible – homes with a high level of physical access features for daily tasks and personal tasks such as eating, showering and toileting, cooking, and assistive technology to aid independence.
• High Physical Support – a home with special features that support people with very high support needs, such as a ceiling hoist and home modifications.

How do I qualify for NDIS SDA in Sydney?

If you have high support needs or functional impairment, you may qualify for SDA funding through the NDIS. Your Support Coordinator – working with an occupational therapist – should be able to explain how SDA works, if you meet the eligibility criteria, and help you find long-term housing providers that meet your needs.

NDIS Supported Independent Living in Sydney

Supported Independent Living in Sydney is a type of disability support that helps you live more independently in your own home, while giving you different opportunities to develop daily living skills. This looks different for each participant, but it could be help or supervision with daily tasks, like cleaning or laundry, cooking meals, personal care, or going to social activities.

Under the NDIS, Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a suitable option if you have higher support needs, and require some level of help at home all the time – even seven days a week, or overnight support. You can get SIL while living with other NDIS participants, but also if you live on your own.

It also includes funding for a support coordinator, who will help you find a provider and ensure you get the supports you need. Supported Independent Living funding can’t be used for things like rent or other day-to-day expenses like groceries.

Home Caring provides compassionate SIL NDIS in Sydney from experienced support workers. We deliver all our services with dedication and attention to detail, making you feel safe and supported.

We also take a collaborative approach with our clients, so you’ll always be able to make informed decisions about your support – or be part of household decisions if you’re living with other NDIS participants. Our support is:

Flexible – we’ll provide supports at an ideal time and day that suits you, rather than making you fit into our schedule.
Empowering – we have a ‘can do’ attitude and help you do things for yourself with plenty of encouragement and support, promoting independent lives.
Local – we provide NDIS SIL in Sydney suburbs from support workers who are local to the area, and are able to connect you with community activities and services.

We’ll involve you in all decisions, including rosters with housemates, household chores, and routines for daily activities. Our homes have plenty of space to make friends, learn independent living skills and take part in activities, but enough privacy for time out.

If you’re looking for quality NDIS short term accommodation providers in Sydney, Home Caring is here to help.

Short Term Accommodation is funding for a temporary housing solution, away from your usual home, for up to 14 days at a time. This alternative dwelling includes respite so your usual carer can take a break for holidays, work commitments, or appointments. It can also give you an opportunity to try new things and gain independent living skills in a different space, or have a break from your usual living environment.

Medium term accommodation is access to housing for people to live in for up to 90 days. It is available for NDIS participants who need somewhere to stay before moving into their long-term home, because their disability supports aren’t ready yet. Medium term accommodation provides a supportive environment where you can live safely and independently, while receiving all the supports in your plan.
