SDA Assessments That Set You Up for Success

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a powerful support, but gaining approval requires strong, detailed evidence. The NDIS process is rigorous—and the quality of your assessment can make all the difference.

We specialise in high-quality SDA assessments that go far beyond a generic report. Every assessment we complete is carefully tailored to meet NDIS criteria and build a strong case for eligibility, the right design category, and the housing type that best fits your long-term needs.

We take time to understand your day-to-day life—what’s working, what’s not, and what you need in a home to feel safe, supported, and independent. We write the report with you, ensuring your voice and experience are reflected throughout.

Unlike many rushed or vague assessments that risk delays or funding gaps, our reports are clear, evidence-based, and purpose-built to support a successful outcome.

And it’s not just about funding. A strong assessment lays the foundation for how your future supports will be delivered and what kind of environment you’ll live in. It’s a crucial step toward the right housing and a more sustainable future.

What if I am not ready to move yet?

That’s completely okay. Exploring SDA now can serve as a safety net—you can secure the right funding now and use it when the time is right. Having SDA in your plan doesn’t mean you need to move immediately. It gives you time to research, tour, and find the home that truly feels right.

Is it worthwhile to get an SDA assessment if I'm unsure about eligibility?

Absolutely. A thorough assessment not only identifies potential eligibility but often uncovers important support needs that might be overlooked. Even if SDA isn’t approved, the report can strengthen other parts of your plan—like home modifications, assistive technology, or personal care supports, or help identify other housing solutions.

How long does the SDA process take?

It varies, but from assessment to report handover, the process can take several months.

As with anything with the NDIS it can take a while for the assessment to be reviewed, however in urgent situations we are able to request a priority review.

Starting early gives you the best chance of a smooth pathway, particularly if your needs are changing or your current environment is no longer working well.

Does getting an SDA report mean I must move into a group home?

Not at all. In fact, SDA supports a range of options including private apartments, townhouses, or even stand-alone homes. Our assessment will help you explore what suits your lifestyle, support needs, and preferences best.

Can I still apply if I have informal supports like family at home?

Yes. SDA is about what you need—not just who’s around to help.

Even if you have family supporting you, that doesn’t mean your home is suitable long-term.

An SDA assessment can help plan ahead, especially if care needs are increasing or informal supports are changing.
