Family Care Australia supports participants living in SDA to maximise independence and achieve the goals outlined in their NDIS plan. Our support focuses on improving quality of life through safe, accessible housing and meaningful participation in everyday life, including family, social, and community activities.

​

SDA homes are provided across four categories, depending on individual needs:

​

• Improved Liveability – Homes with reasonable physical access and design features to support people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairment, such as improved wayfinding and visual contrasts.

• Fully Accessible – Homes with a high level of physical access, including wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, kitchens, entrances, and outdoor areas.

• High Physical Support – Highly specialised homes with features such as ceiling hoists, assistive technology, emergency power solutions, and access to 24/7 support.

• Robust – Homes designed with enhanced safety features, including impact-resistant materials and retreat areas, to reduce risk and improve stability.

 

Eligibility Criteria

• Have an approved NDIS plan
