Click <\/span>here<\/span><\/span><\/a> for further information<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you are assessed as requiring SDA, the funding will be included in your NDIS plan to cover any disability related housing costs that are above the ordinary costs of housing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

SDA funding covers the cost of the home or building you live in. You may still need to pay rent or other personal costs to live in an SDA home. It also does not include the services or support you may receive in that home.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
