Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Hervey Bay

Finding Specialist Disability Accommodation in Hervey Bay

Specialist Disability Accommodation is purpose-built or specially modified housing for people with very high support needs. SDA pays for the property itself; the day-to-day assistance delivered in it is funded separately, usually as supported independent living. Keeping those two apart makes conversations with providers far clearer.

Eligibility for SDA is determined through the NDIS planning process and set out in a participant's plan, including the design category that applies. This page cannot confirm eligibility, funding or a design category — that comes from your plan and the assessments behind it.

SDA stock on the Fraser Coast is limited and changes over time. We do not list properties and do not state that anything is currently available in Hervey Bay. What we can do is take a clear description of what is needed and use it to identify providers worth contacting.

What to Include in Your SDA Housing Request

The more precisely you can describe the housing and the support, the more useful the search:

• The SDA design category in the participant's plan, if one has been approved.
• The daily and overnight support required, and who currently provides it.
• Whether a shared arrangement or a self-contained dwelling is preferred.
• Specific accessibility requirements — hoists, doorway widths, bathroom layout, assistive technology.
• The preferred area, including whether nearby Fraser Coast towns would be considered.
• The timeframe involved, and who else is helping with the move.
