Specialist Disability Accommodation is a range of housing options designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. This could mean they need to live in a specially designed house.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is NDIS funding that supports people with very high and complex support needs in accessing specialist housing.
These homes are specifically designed with the accessible features you require to live more independently. Depending on your funding and support needs, you can live independently in your own home or share with others.
Through Oyster care’s person-centred active support approach, we support your choices and ensure that assistance is available when needed for daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and personal care within your supported home.

Once you have the required reports from the OT and GP or Psychologist, you can get in touch with Oyster Care over the phone or in person so we can assess your suitability and develop a plan for your SDA. Once we have a tentative offer of housing, the Support Coordination Housing Solutions Report is prepared and all the documentation and supporting evidence is sent to the NDIS. Maple will also submit an SDA quote and a Roster of Care to the NDIS.
It is then up to the SDA team to assess all evidence and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the SDA funding; this can take between a few weeks and several months to process.
Support Independent Living is the support, assistance, or supervision a person living with disabilities receives to build their skills for daily tasks, enabling them to live more independently.
On the other hand, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is for people living with a disability that causes high-level functional impairment or highly complex needs that require specialist housing alternatives. A person living in an SDA housing option can also have SIL services.
Find out what vacancies we have in our accommodation options that are suitable for you by getting in touch with us online, by phone, or in person. We’d love to sit down with you and outline a plan to achieve your goals.
There are many factors that the NDIS considers before deciding on your available funding for SDA. The support service needs to be reasonable and necessary to help you achieve your goals, purpose, and aspirations.
The funding of SDA assistance is for participants who have high-level functional impairments or high support needs. You can be eligible if, upon assessment, it is deemed the most appropriate level of support among the available options. Arrange a planning meeting with us and we can talk through what supports you need in and around the home and determine whether this is a support you will benefit from.
Oyster Care Foundation’s success is fueled by strong partnerships with organisations and community groups. These collaborations are essential in delivering impactful programs, workshops, and advocacy initiatives to regional areas, a key priority for us.
We believe in more than just providing disability services. We are passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their goals and live life to the fullest. Our dedicated team goes beyond simply meeting your needs.
