FAQs
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a range of specially designed homes for people with disability who have very high support needs. Also known as Specialist Disability Housing or NDIS housing, the homes are designed with many accessible features tailored to your needs, allowing you to live more independently and have supports delivered more efficiently.
Interested in NDIS Housing? Perth residents must meet a range of requirements to be eligible for Specialist Disability Accommodation. These include having an extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, meeting the specialist disability accommodation needs requirement, and meeting the NDIS funding criteria.
We have SDA housing options available all over the Perth metro area. Be sure to check the ‘Available Homes’ section on our website to see what’s on offer near you. All our developments offer wheelchair accessible accommodation.
Before you can move into Specialist Disability Accommodation, you need to have the relevant funding in place. We cross all the t’s and dot the i’s to make sure you’re the right fit for the right house.
Shift’s Specialist Disability Accommodation adheres to the latest NDIS Design Standards (2019), which include Improved Liveability (IL), Fully Accessible (FA) and High Physical Support (HPS). You can learn more about the NDIS Design Standards at ndis.org.au
