NDIS Information Disclaimer

Last updated: 5 June 2026

About the information on this website

We provide general information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and related topics to help people understand their housing options and decide whether they would like to speak with our team.

We aim to keep this information clear, practical and up to date. However, it is general information only.It is not legal, financial, clinical, tenancy, support-coordination or NDIS plan-management advice. It does not take into account a person’s individual circumstances.

About Homeward

Homeward provides Specialist Disability Accommodation and related property services.

Access Living Australia Pty Ltd trading as Homeward is a registered NDIS provider.
ABN: 44 631 831 564

Homeward is not the National Disability Insurance Agency, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission or an Australian Government agency. We do not make decisions about:

  • access to the NDIS

  • a person’s NDIS plan

  • the supports included in a plan

  • SDA eligibility

  • SDA funding levels

  • changes to a person’s funding

  • the approval of a particular home for a particular person.

These decisions are made by the relevant NDIS decision-maker.

What SDA means

Specialist Disability Accommodation is housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

SDA homes may include accessible features that help make everyday life easier and allow supports to be delivered more safely or effectively.

SDA funding relates to the accommodation itself. It does not cover daily support inside the home, ordinary rent or everyday household expenses.

SDA design categories

The NDIS SDA Design Standard includes four design categories:

  • Improved Liveability

  • Fully Accessible

  • Robust

  • High Physical Support.

A property may be designed with the requirements of one or more categories in mind. A dwelling must still complete the applicable enrolment process before it can be treated as an enrolled SDA dwelling.Where a Homeward property is still being built, assessed or enrolled, we will say so clearly.

Eligibility and funding

SDA is not included in every NDIS plan.A person may need to meet specific requirements before SDA funding is included in their plan. The right SDA option will also depend on the person’s circumstances, funding, preferences and support requirements.

Information on this website does not mean that a person:

  • is eligible for the NDIS

  • is eligible for SDA funding

  • will receive a particular funding amount

  • will be approved for a particular SDA category

  • will be approved to live in a particular property

  • can move into a home immediately.

Submitting an enquiry, referral or expression of interest does not guarantee accommodation, funding approval or a particular outcome.

SDA and daily supports are different things

SDA relates to the home itself.Daily supports provided in the home, which may include Supported Independent Living (SIL) or other support arrangements, are separate.

Homeward may work with SIL providers, support coordinators, allied health professionals and other members of a person’s support team where appropriate. However, a person’s choice of accommodation should not limit their choice and control over other NDIS supports.

Where another organisation provides daily support in a Homeward property, that organisation is responsible for its own services.

Property information

We take reasonable care when describing our homes.

However, availability, completion dates, finishes, features and property details may change. Images, renders and floor plans may be indicative only.

Please speak with our team before relying on a property detail that is important to your decision.

A conversation with us is a good place to start. It is not a substitute for checking the details that apply to your circumstances.

External information

The NDIS and SDA rules, pricing arrangements and guidance may change over time.

For current information about the NDIS, SDA eligibility and funding, refer to information published by the NDIA or speak with an appropriate adviser.
