Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Wollongong

Looking into SDA for yourself or someone you love? We’re glad you’re here. We’re the team at BB Disability & Mental Health Services, a registered NDIS provider based in Dapto. Our leaders are senior social workers and mental health professionals, so the people supporting you understand both the physical and mental health sides of disability, including psychosocial disability.

SDA is NDIS funding for the home itself, a home built or set up for people with very high support needs. It’s separate from your everyday care funding. We help Wollongong participants move into our homes at Horsley, from checking if you’re eligible right through to the day you get your keys. This is home for us too, so we know the area well. We listen first, take our time, and the decision is always yours.

What SDA Actually Means for You

What SDA Actually Means for You

SDA pays for the home itself, not the everyday care you receive inside it. That part stays separate in your plan. Think wider doorways, reinforced walls that can hold a ceiling hoist, and space for an overnight support worker if you need one close by.

Not everyone qualifies, and that’s simply how SDA works. It’s for people with very high physical support needs, where standard housing isn’t safe or workable. There are four official categories, from Improved Liveability through to High Physical Support for the most complex needs, and both our homes are built with wide hallways, accessible bathrooms, and layouts shaped around the person living there. Have a look at our current SDA vacancies to see what that looks like in practice.

What is SDA and who is it for in Wollongong?

SDA is NDIS funded housing for people with very high support needs or extreme functional impairment. For Wollongong participants, that housing currently sits at Moss Vale and Horsley, though we support the whole process from here.

It covers the building and its accessibility features, sitting in your NDIS plan as its own category, separate from support funding like SIL, which most Wollongong SDA participants also have running alongside it.

Always. We’d rather you walk through the home, meet people, and ask every question you’ve got than sign up to something you haven’t seen. A visit to Moss Vale or Horsley can be arranged whenever suits you.

Completely normal, not everyone qualifies. We can talk through other options, like Support Coordination in Wollongong, to see what actually suits your plan.

It varies. Supply across the Illawarra is limited, so timing depends on what’s available at the time. We keep you posted the whole way through, whichever stage you’re at.
