𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐒𝐃𝐀) is designed for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. It refers to housing that is specifically built to meet complex accessibility and support requirements.

SDA is purpose-built accommodation that supports safety, independence, and the effective delivery of care.

Key things to know about SDA:
• Eligibility is assessed and approved by the NDIA
• SDA funding covers the cost of the specialised home, not daily supports
• Homes are built to specific SDA design standards
• SDA supports long-term, safe, and sustainable living

Understanding how SDA works helps participants, families, and carers make informed decisions about long-term living arrangements under the NDIS.

Discover our complete SDA guide to learn more about design categories, eligibility criteria, and how to access SDA under the NDIS👇

Disability touches the lives of many Australians, and not all disabilities are visible.

According to a report by the Australian Institute of Health & Welfare, one in six people in Australia lives with disability, with around 40% needing formal assistance, and about 90% of the 4.4 million Australians with disability live with an invisible disability - reminding us that support needs aren’t always obvious.

𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 are built around the belief that every person is unique. Whether it’s supported independent living, daily living skills development, behaviour support, complex care, or community participation, Kanda works with you to create tailored support plans that help you get where you want to be: with purpose, belonging and possibility.

A simple daily routine can bring comfort, create structure, and reduce everyday stress. 👌

Knowing what to expect can support independence and confidence; especially during times of change.

Even small rituals, like morning tea, a daily walk, or a favourite TV show, can help bring a sense of normality and wellbeing to each day.

Bushfire smoke is currently impacting air quality across many parts of Australia, including Victoria.
Poor air quality can affect everyone, but older people and those living with chronic health conditions are particularly vulnerable.

To help you during smoke events:

• Call 000 for breathing trouble or chest pain
• Watch for coughing or wheezing
• Keep medications ready
• Listen to local emergency radio stations
• Follow official health guidance on managing prolonged smoke exposure
• Stay indoors where possible
• Avoid unnecessary travel to affected areas
• Consider a P2 or N95 mask if outdoor travel is necessary

For non-emergencies, 1800 MEDICARE (1800 633 422) provides free, 24/7 health advice from registered nurses.

The safety and wellbeing of the people we support remains a priority. Taking early precautions and staying informed can help reduce health risks during smoke events.

Please take care and look out for one another.🫂 👬
