What is Supported Accommodation?
Supported accommodation covers three distinct NDIS supports: Short Term Accommodation (STA) for temporary respite care, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) for accessible housing for people with high support needs, and Supported Independent Living (SIL) for shared living with support ranging from a few hours a day to 24/7.
Purpose-built housing
SDA provides accessible design: wider doorways, ramps, modified bathrooms.
Independence at your pace
SIL support scales from a few hours daily up to round-the-clock.
