SDA(Specialist Disability Accommodation)
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a range of housing designed for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA has accessible features to help residents live more independently and have better access to supports in their home.
Our goal is to provide NDIS participants with high physical support needs the opportunity live in beautiful architecturally-designed and finished residences that they are proud to call home.
Our aim is to provide homes throughout a variety of suburban and city locations, all around Australia , close to amenities, services and entertainment, to enable the participants to maximise independent lifestyles and inclusion in the community.
Our Homes are designed to support the accommodation needs of NDIS participants with high physical support needs (and their carers). Our Homes meet the Specialist Disability Accommodation certification for High Physical Support; as well as Liveable Housing Australia’s Platinum design level certification.
What is Specialist Disability Accommodation?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a range of purpose-built housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. These homes are thoughtfully designed with accessible features, assistive technologies, and tailored layouts that support greater independence and comfort.
SDA provides more than just a place to live. It creates a safe, supportive environment where residents can thrive. By enabling better access and mobility, SDA also makes it easier for support workers, carers, and allied health professionals to deliver services effectively and safely within the home.
At Rosmed, we’re committed to helping individuals find the right SDA option that suits their needs, preferences, and goals for independent living.
SDA Design Standard
All newly built Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) must meet the SDA Design Standard, which outlines the essential features and quality benchmarks to ensure homes are safe, accessible, and suited to individual support needs.
In addition to the SDA Design Standard, all SDA accommodations must also comply with the Australian National Construction Code, along with relevant state or territory building codes, standards, and local planning regulations.
These combined requirements help ensure that you have access to safe, high-quality, and well-maintained housing that is tailored to support your independence and wellbeing.
There are four categories of SDA design, each catering to different levels of support and accessibility:

Improved Liveability
Designed for people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairments.

Fully Accessible
Suitable for people with significant physical impairments, with extensive mobility features.

High Physical Support
Includes additional features such as ceiling hoists, emergency power backup, and assistive technology for those with the highest level of physical support needs.
