Recommended Action Plan
You indicated that there is currently no professional report recommending SDA or specialist housing. A key next step is to work with an Occupational Therapist who has experience in functional capacity assessments and understands the SDA criteria of the NDIS.
The OT assessment should clearly explain the person’s functional impairment, support needs, housing risks, environmental requirements, and whether SDA or single occupancy SDA may be required.

Navigating Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to understand the SDA eligibility criteria and application process. Our SDA Eligibility Checker is designed to help participants, families, carers, and support coordinators better understand whether SDA housing support may be suitable for their needs.
This online SDA eligibility assessment tool provides a simple way to explore your potential eligibility for Specialist Disability Accommodation funding under the NDIS. By answering a series of questions about your support needs, mobility, living situation, and daily challenges, you can gain a clearer understanding of your SDA funding eligibility and possible housing pathways.
What Is SDA Eligibility?

SDA eligibility refers to whether an NDIS participant meets the SDA eligibility requirements set by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). SDA funding is designed for participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs who require specialised housing solutions to improve their independence, safety, and quality of life.
SDA housing may include features such as:
- Improved physical accessibility
- High physical support designs
- Robust housing solutions
- Fully accessible living environments
- Assistive technology integration
Understanding the SDA housing criteria early can help participants prepare for future housing transitions and access the right supports sooner.




Who Qualifies for SDA?
Many people ask:
- Who qualifies for SDA?
- How to qualify for SDA funding?
- What are the SDA funding criteria?
While eligibility is assessed individually by the NDIA, participants may be considered for Specialist Disability Accommodation funding if they:
- Require significant daily support
- Have complex mobility or accessibility needs
- Need specialised housing to safely complete everyday activities
- Would benefit from long-term housing solutions that reduce support reliance or improve independence
Our Specialist Disability Accommodation checker is not a formal NDIA decision tool, but it can help identify whether you may benefit from a more detailed SDA needs assessment or SDA funding assessment.
