In Brisbane, there are two primary types of support under the NDIS for people living with disabilities, and the distinction between them is consistent nationwide:
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is designed to cater to participants with significant functional impairments or very high support needs. This support encompasses housing that is either custom-built or modified to ensure it meets the specific requirements of its occupants. The funding for SDA specifically targets the costs associated with the housing infrastructure itself, without extending to cover in-person support services.
Supported Independent Living (SIL), on the other hand, is focused on providing assistance or supervision with day-to-day tasks, enabling NDIS participants to live as autonomously as possible in their own homes. The funding for SIL is primarily intended for the services delivered by disability support workers on a personal basis. Unlike SDA, SIL emphasises the support needed by participants for their daily living, rather than characteristics of the accommodation where they reside.
