Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Purpose-Built Homes for Purpose-Driven Lives
At The Desired Life Limited, we believe that your home should empower your independence—not limit it. That’s why we provide access to Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), designed for people with significant functional impairments or very high support needs.
Our SDA homes are tailored to meet the individual needs of our residents—helping them live safely, comfortably, and as independently as possible while having access to the daily support they require.
What is SDA?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to specially designed housing for NDIS participants who need:
● Custom-built features for safety and accessibility
● Space and layout to accommodate support staff
● Durable materials and assistive technology to meet high physical or behavioural support needs
These homes are funded under the NDIS for eligible participants and are built to enable greater independence and quality of life.
What Does an SDA Home Look Like?
Every SDA property is different, but they all share a common goal: to meet the specific needs of the individual who lives there. Depending on the tenant, an SDA home might include:
● Modified kitchens and bathrooms for ease of access
● Widened doorways and hallways for wheelchairs
● Stronger walls and fittings for those with complex behaviours
● Sensor lighting, emergency call systems, and assistive technology
● Space for on-site support staff or overnight assistance
Whether shared or individual, every SDA home supported by The Desired Life is thoughtfully designed to foster independence and dignity.

- Need specialised housing that standard homes or group living cannot meet
- Require ongoing support and access to care providers either on-site or nearby
