How SDA Funding Works Under the NDIS?
SDA funding is included in the NDIS plan only after a participant has been assessed and approved based on strict eligibility criteria. The funding pays the SDA provider (like Able House) directly not the participant.
Key Points:
- The participant contributes a small amount.
- SDA funding covers the cost of the housing infrastructure.
- It works alongside other NDIS supports, such as Supported Independent Living (SIL).
SDA does not pay for support workers or daily care just the home itself.

SDA vs SIL: What’s the Difference?
It is common to confuse Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) with Supported Independent Living (SIL). Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | SDA | SIL |
| Covers | Housing costs | Support services |
| Funded For | People with extreme impairments or high support needs | Those who need help with daily tasks |
| Provider | Able House (SDA provider) | Separate support service provider |
Both may work together but they are funded and delivered separately.
SDA Is About Choice, Not Just Compliance
At Able House, we believe SDA represents more than housing. It is a social commitment one that says people with disability deserve the same right to choose where and how they live.
We build homes that honour that choice with respect, dignity and beauty in every brick.
