Livable housing is about creating a home that is adaptable to the changing needs of its occupants. Changing how we design homes (reducing steps, having more space in bathrooms and toilets, allowing for future adaptations like grab rails) so changes can easily be made to adapt the home to the occupants and their future need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to accommodation designed for people with significant functional impairments or high support needs. It provides housing solutions that enable individuals with disabilities to live more independently.

Eligibility for SDA is determined by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). People who require SDA must meet specific criteria related to their functional impairment, support needs, and their ability to live independently in alternative housing.

An SDA assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted to determine a dwellings suitability as SDA Accommodation. The assessment is conducted by a qualified SDA Assessor against the requirements of the SDA Design Standard.

SDA assessments are conducted by qualified assessors in two stages. They will assess the plans against the SDA Design Standard to ensure the building will achieve compliance. Once built they complete a Final-As-Built inspection to ensure the final build meets the standard. Once all the building elements have been inspected and passed the SDA certification documents are released.

SDA assessments must be conducted by a qualified SDA Assessor. Some assessors have a background in are Occupational Therapy and some have a background in Building Certification. It is highly recommended that you work with someone that has construction experience as this makes the building process much easier. A
building certifier with industry experience will have the knowledge and the power to provide solutions at a construction level. At All In Access, our qualified professionals have 25 years of experience in building certification and construction, making us experts in disability accommodation.

NDIS funded SDA Accommodation has to meet the requirements set out in the NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation Design Standard as well as the general standards of the building code. This is why it is worth working with an accredited SDA Assessor that has building certification experience. The team at All In Access have years of experience in NDIS housing design and service the Queensland region.

SDA consulting is essential for a builder or developer wishing to provide NDIS funded accommodation. The right SDA Consultant with relevant construction experience can save you time and money through the planning and construction phase. Getting the right advice at the outset can avoid costly rectification work and save construction time.

You can find SDA Design Standard Guidelines here and further information at the NDIS website. The guidelines provide detailed information on the design categories, design requirements, and other relevant considerations for SDA properties. If you need further assistance, chat to our friendly team.

This depends on the type of property you intend to build. You can send plans for a free initial review and costing to info@allinaccess.com.au
