DSA basically provides disabled people a safe, comfortable, and supportive place to live. It includes assistance with daily activities, personal care, and access to shared or individual living spaces, depending on your needs and NDIS plan.
From education, skill development, to living arrangements, and well-being, the NDIS can fund aspects of your life that require additional support to gain independence.
You are only eligible if you have an NDIS plan that includes Supported Independent Living (SIL) or Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding. Our team at Compass Care Group can help you understand your plan and guide you through the eligibility process.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) offers purpose-built housing designed for individuals with higher support needs.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides essential day-to-day assistance within both SDA and SIL homes, empowering individuals to live more independently while receiving the care they require.
In most cases, yes. The NDIA will also fund reasonable and necessary supports that are related or incidental to home modifications, which may include: assistance with the cost of moving to accessible premises.
In addition to the SDA, NDIS participants will be expected to make a reasonable rent contribution. This contribution is 25% of the Disability Support Pension, plus any Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
Short-term accommodation, including respite, is a type of funding for support and accommodation for a short time away from your usual place of residence. It covers the cost of your care in another place for up to 14 days at any given time.
