Questions about SIL & SDA
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL (Supported Independent Living) is the support: help with daily tasks and routines so you can live more independently. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is the home itself, built for people with very high support needs. You can get SIL in many kinds of home. SDA is a type of housing the NDIS funds for eligible participants.
Where are SIL / SDA homes listed?
The catalogue lists homes in NSW, VIC and QLD. It is a sample, not a live vacancy feed. Housing is not shown for South Australia or Tasmania. Call 1300 998 885 before anyone moves in.
How do I confirm a listed room is still available?
Read the date next to the room count. Homes whose details were read say they were checked on 29 Sept 2026. A home with no room count was listed, not checked, and says to ask. Call 1300 998 885 before you treat any count as current.

SIL and SDA, explained
SIL is the support
Supported Independent Living is help with daily life: personal care, meals, medication reminders, household jobs, getting to appointments, and building routines and skills. It lets a person live more independently, alone or with housemates.
SDA is the home
Specialist Disability Accommodation is the building itself: a home designed for people with very high support needs. You can get SIL in many kinds of home. SDA is a type of housing the NDIS funds for eligible participants.
SDA is the home. SIL is the help. They are separate supports in an NDIS plan.
The four SDA design categories
Every SDA home is built to one or more of these. The NDIA sets them.
Improved Liveability
For people with sensory, intellectual or cognitive disability. Clear layouts, good lighting, and contrast between surfaces.
Robust
For people with complex behaviours. Strong walls and fittings, less noise, and a quiet space to step away to.
Fully Accessible
For people with significant physical disability. Step-free, with wider doors and halls, and a kitchen and bathroom you can reach and use.
High Physical Support
For people with very high physical support needs. Step-free and wide like the home above, plus the structure for a ceiling hoist and backup power for essential equipment.
How it is paid for
Both are funded through the NDIS. The NDIA decides what goes in a participant's plan. We do not quote prices on this site.
