Purpose-Built Homes for Independent Living
At Auswide Care, we believe that your home should be your sanctuary—a place that is safe, accessible, and suited to your lifestyle. Standard housing often fails to meet the needs of people with extreme functional impairment or high support needs. That is where Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) comes in.
SDA refers to the “bricks and mortar”—the physical building itself. These SDA houses are designed with specialist features like wide doorways, ceiling hoists, and robust materials to make daily life easier and safer.
If you are looking for SDA Housing Gold Coast vacancies, we can help connect you with the right property. Whether you need a fully accessible apartment in Southport or a robust villa in Robina, our goal is to help you find a long-term home where you can thrive.
SDA Design Categories We Support
Not all SDA homes are the same. We assist participants in finding properties across all four NDIS design categories.
Design Categories
-
High Physical Support SDA: Homes designed for people with significant physical impairments. Features include ceiling hoists, backup power supplies, and home automation (smart doors/lights).
-
Fully Accessible: Properties designed for people with significant physical limitations, featuring complete wheelchair accessibility in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.
-
Robust Housing: Built with resilient materials to reduce the risk of damage and ensure safety for you and your support workers.
-
Improved Liveability: Homes designed for people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairments, featuring easy-to-see navigation and durable finishes.
Finding Your Home
-
Vacancy Matching: We work with NDIS SDA providers to find vacancies that match your specific funding and location preferences.
-
SDA & SIL Combo: We can package your housing (SDA) with our Supported Independent Living (SIL) team to provide the 24/7 care you need inside the home.
We connect you with SDA homes designed for accessibility, safety, and your specific lifestyle.
Why Choose Auswide Care
Why Choose Us for SDA Housing Gold Coast?
Finding the right specialist home can be complex. We make the process simple, transparent, and person-centred.
Funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation
SDA funding is separate from your other NDIS supports. It is paid directly to the SDA provider to cover the cost of the building.
Who is eligible?
SDA is for participants with “extreme functional impairment” or “very high support needs.” Only a small percentage of NDIS participants are eligible for this funding.
Reasonable Rent Contribution (RRC)
Even though the NDIS pays for the building, you will still need to pay rent. This is called the “Reasonable Rent Contribution,” which is usually 25% of your Disability Support Pension plus 100% of your Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
NDIS Pricing
We strictly follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements . We ensure that the rent and board charged are fair and compliant with NDIS guidelines.
FAQs about SDA Housing
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SDA is the house (the building). Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the support (the people/carers). You might have funding for both, but they are paid separately.
Can I live with my partner or family in SDA?
Yes, in many cases, you can live with a partner or children in an SDA home. However, your family members will not be funded by the NDIS; they may need to pay rent to the housing provider.
Do I have to pay for electricity and water?
Yes. Just like a normal rental, you are usually responsible for your own utilities (electricity, internet, water usage) and groceries.
What if I need High Physical Support SDA?
We can connect you with properties specifically built for High Physical Support, including provisions for ceiling hoists and assistive technology.
Can I bring my own furniture?
Yes. While the common areas (lounge, dining) are often furnished by the provider, your bedroom is your private space to furnish as you wish.
