Our Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) offers modern, accessible homes tailored for people with higher support needs, so you can live more independently in a safe, comfortable setting.

What Is Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is purpose‑built housing for people with higher support needs, with design features and support options that make everyday living safer, more accessible and more independent. At AB Nurses, we can help you access SDA options that feel like home, pairing quality, accessible accommodation with the right level of care and flexibility to match your NDIS plan and personal goals.
Who is SDA for?
SDA is generally suited to people with severe functional impairments who need specialist housing features to live as independently and safely as possible. It may be appropriate if you:
- Have significant physical disability and need home modifications for mobility and accessibility (for example, wide doorways, hoists or accessible bathrooms).
- Rely on assistive technology or environmental controls to manage day‑to‑day tasks and stay safe at home.
- Have complex health or disability‑related needs that require ongoing monitoring or support from trained staff.
- Need frequent or 24/7 support and benefit from living in a home that is purpose‑built for higher levels of care.
Our SDA Housing Options
Improved Lieability
With ILO, you can choose from different living options, such as living in your own place with support, sharing with others or living with a host arrangement that feels right for you. Your supports are tailored to what you need day to day, whether that is help with daily tasks, building routines or having a trusted companion in your home.
Fully Accessible
SDA designed for people with significant physical access needs, including features such as level entries, wider doorways, step‑free paths and accessible bathrooms to support safe mobility.
High Physical Support
Housing for people with more complex mobility or health needs, often including structural provisions for hoists, emergency back‑up power and access to 24/7 on‑site or nearby support.
Technology‑Enabled Homes
Some SDA properties incorporate smart home and assistive technologies, allowing you to control things like lighting, doors, heating and communication systems to increase safety and independence.
