How to Apply For SDA – SPG Special Accommodation Accessible SDA Housing for Empowered Living

To ensure a smooth transition into your new home, start the SDA eligibility process at least 6–8 months in advance.

Begin by reviewing your NDIS funding against the criteria outlined in the NDIS access form.
Make sure your NDIS plan includes a housing goal.
Complete and submit the Home and Living Supports request form on the NDIS website for NDIA review.
You may need to provide additional documentation, such as reports from an Occupational Therapist or Allied Health Practitioner, to support your application.
If eligible, you’ll be notified of your approved funding category.

For guidance on exploring your housing options, reach out to a Liverty Housing Engagement Specialist.

If additional evidence is needed, you may be asked to provide further details about your home and living requirements.

At this stage, you will work with your Occupational Therapist and/or clinical specialist(s) to assess your housing needs and submit a functional housing assessment report that aligns with NDIS SDA guidelines.
