What is NDIS

The NDIS takes a lifetime approach, investing in people with disability at an early stage to improve their outcomes later in life. The NDIS can provide all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is SDA?

    Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to accommodation for people who require specialist housing solutions, including assisting with delivery of supports that cater for their extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

  • How do I know if I am eligible for SDA Funding?

    To access SDA funding, you will need to have SDA included in your NDIS plan. If you need it and its not there, you can seek help from you Support Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator or NDIS planner.

  • What is Short Term/Respite Accommodation?

    Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is funding for support and accommodation for a short time away from your usual home. It covers the cost of your care in another place for up to 14 days at a time.

  • What is Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)

  • What will it cost me?
