Request an Assessment →What is an SDA Assessment?
An SDA assessment reviews a residential development against the accessibility and design requirements applicable to Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) housing under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The assessment helps project teams understand how housing designs can better support people with disability by identifying accessibility considerations, design opportunities, and practical strategies that contribute to functional and well-designed SDA housing outcomes.
An SDA assessment may identify:
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) design considerations
- Accessibility and functional housing requirements
- Areas requiring further access consulting advice
- Potential barriers affecting resident independence
- Design opportunities that improve usability and flexibility
- Matters affecting project delivery and approvals
- Strategies that support better long-term housing outcomes
