Specialist Disability Accommodation Assessments & Reporting

Helping you access and maintain Specialist Disability Accommodation.

At GC Health Therapy, we work with NDIS participants to complete the assessments and reports required to access and maintain Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Our role is to ensure you’re clinically supported in your application, advocacy and ongoing eligibility, so you can secure and remain in housing that’s truly right for your needs.

What is Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

Specialist Disability Accommodation is NDIS-funded housing designed for people with significant support needs. These homes are typically owned by private providers and built to specific design standards. 

There are different SDA levels and categories depending on the participant’s needs and goals. If eligible, a portion of your NDIS funding is allocated toward your accommodation costs. To access or maintain SDA, you’ll need evidence from a qualified Occupational Therapist, usually in the form of a Functional Capacity Assessment and detailed supporting report.

When you may need our SDA support

  • Applying for SDA as part of your NDIS plan
  • Renewing or reviewing your SDA eligibility
  • Seeking additional funding for accessibility modifications
  • Advocating for an upgrade to a more suitable SDA type or level

How we help with SDA Assessments

In-home functional assessment

We assess how your disability impacts your ability to live safely and independently and whether your current housing meets your needs.

Clinical report & recommendations

We produce a detailed, NDIS-aligned report that clearly justifies your need for Specialist Disability Accommodation, using both observation and standardised tools.

Collaboration with support teams

We work closely with your support coordinator, providers, and housing specialists to ensure all parties are aligned on the recommendations.

Ongoing advocacy & support

If needed, we continue to support you through the plan review process, including follow-up reports and evidence for secondary assessments or modifications.
