Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)

NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Perth

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a type of housing funded by the NDIS for participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA homes are designed with specialised features to ensure safety, accessibility, and independence.

Unlike standard housing, SDA properties include purpose-built modifications such as wider doorways, ceiling hoists, reinforced walls, or fully accessible bathrooms, making them suitable for people who need significant physical assistance.

At 7Days Care WA, we partner with the NDIS to connect participants to SDA housing that promotes choice, dignity, and independence in a supportive community environment.

Accessible home design – wider hallways, ramps, step-free bathrooms.
High physical support – ceiling hoists, reinforced walls, backup power supply for medical equipment.
Improved liveability – sensory-friendly layouts and smart technology for people with cognitive or sensory needs.
