Supported Accommodations
Additional Information
Supported Accommodation:
Supported accommodation is separated into two different parts:
- Specialised housing such as shared supported accommodation or community residential units, known as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and
- Supported services, knows as Supported Independent Living (SIL).
SIL providers are different to SDA providers. This separation will assist to improve choice and control for participants by allowing for a change of one support or accommodation provider without necessarily changing another.
Participants who do not have SDA in their plan may still be able to access SIL supports if they have private accommodation such as living at home with their families, living alone or sharing with others.
What is Specialist Disability Accommodation?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to accommodation for people who require specialist housing solutions, including to assist with the delivery of supports that cater for their extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

Housing Options:
There are different housing options and support services available to suit people's different needs. People often move from one part of the program to another as their needs change or as more opportunities open up to them.
