What we need to match you
The more we know, the better we can match you. Send what you know now; we can fill in the rest together.
- the area or suburbs you'd like to live in
- whether SDA is in your NDIS plan, being applied for, or not yet
- the SDA design category and building type in your plan, if you know them
- how many bedrooms you need, and whether you're happy to share a home
- the support you need at home, including any overnight support (SIL), and whether you need a home with an OOA room (on-site overnight assistance), where a support worker can stay overnight
- when you'd like to move
Your support coordinator, or the person who wrote your home and living report, can help with the details. Whether you call it SDA, disability housing or supported accommodation, tell us what you need and we'll match you.
What happens after you enquire
- We check current homes. We ask the SDA provider which homes are available that fit what you told us.
- We share suitable options privately. We go through them with you by phone or email, never in public.
- You visit. See the home and meet us before you decide anything.
- Your SIL roster. If you'd like us for your support, we draft your roster of care with you and your support coordinator (estimate SIL costs).
- You move in. Your team is ready on day one, and we check in with you during the first week.

Who owns these homes, and your choice
The homes we can tell you about are owned and managed by a registered NDIS SDA provider we work with. Psych Connect NDIS Support does not own or manage these homes.
We work with the provider so that, if you choose us, your support team can be ready when you move in. We'll tell you who the provider is before you apply.
Living in one of these homes does not depend on using Psych Connect. Your SDA agreement with the home's provider and any support agreement with us are separate.
You can choose any registered provider for Supported Independent Living (SIL) and your other supports. In a shared home, support hours are often shared between housemates, so tell us early if you'd like a different provider and we'll work through the options openly.
Psych Connect and the SDA providers we work with don't pay each other for referrals.
Your choice and control comes first: you decide whether to apply for a home, and who provides your support.
You must have a service agreement with your SDA provider; any SIL agreement with us is separate.
SDA design categories in plain English
Every SDA home is built to a design category, set out in the NDIS SDA Rules:
- Improved Liveability: a reasonable level of physical access, plus features for people with sensory, intellectual or cognitive impairment.
- Fully Accessible: a high level of physical access for people with significant physical impairment.
- Robust: a high level of physical access, built to be very resilient, so it needs fewer repairs and lowers the risk to residents and neighbours.
- High Physical Support: a high level of physical access for people with significant physical impairment who need very high levels of support.
The NDIA decides which category and building type match your needs. Read SDA design categories explained for building types and what each category can mean day to day.
Getting SDA into your plan
To be eligible for SDA, the NDIS rules say you need an extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, and you must meet the SDA needs requirement. The NDIA makes the decision, usually based on evidence about your needs and your current housing.
Your support coordinator or local area coordinator can help you prepare. We can explain the steps, but we never promise an approval. Since 19 October 2026, your full SDA amount shows in your plan once it's approved. Our guide to SIL, SDA and ILO explains how the supports fit together.
Our free SDA eligibility checklist sets out the rules and what to gather.
The NDIA needs to know when you move into a new SDA home. Our guide to reporting a change of circumstances explains how.
If you have SIL but not SDA
The homes we can tell you about are SDA homes, so you need SDA funding to live in one. If you have SIL in your plan but not SDA, we can still provide SIL where you live now or in a rented home. Tell us on the form and we'll talk it through.
