What Makes an SDA Property Compliant?

SDA properties must meet strict design, accessibility, and safety requirements to become NDIS-approved. These standards ensure that homes are not only safe and functional but also empowering for those who live in them.

There are four design categories for SDA housing:

• Improved Liveability
• Fully Accessible
• High Physical Support
• Robust

Each category caters to different levels of need, with specific design guidelines — from wide hallways and reinforced walls to ceiling hoists and smart home technology.

To gain SDA certification, properties must be built by registered providers and comply with the NDIS SDA Design Standard, which includes both construction and fit-out requirements.

At SDA Rentals, we list only fully certified homes that meet these high standards, giving participants peace of mind and ensuring investors meet regulatory obligations.
