Accessible, Safe, Purpose-Built Homes for Complex Support Needs
Finding the right home is about more than accommodation. It’s about safety, independence, dignity, and long-term stability.
At Love Home Nursing, we provide high-quality Specialist Disability Accommodation designed to support your needs, enhance independence, and create a safe place you can truly call home.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is NDIS-funded housing for participants who require specially designed homes due to significant functional limitations.
SDA funding covers the physical dwelling itself, not the daily support delivered inside the home.
Approved SDA homes are designed to be:
SDA funding sits within the NDIS Capital Supports budget, meaning eligibility requires detailed clinical and functional evidence.
Not all NDIS participants qualify for Specialist Disability Accommodation.
The NDIS determines SDA eligibility based on functional assessments, allied health reports and long-term support requirements. Our Geelong-based Registered Nurses work alongside participants, occupational therapists and Barwon-region allied health providers to ensure this evidence reflects real, everyday needs; not just a diagnosis on paper.
Specialist Disability Accommodation homes are built according to four NDIS design categories, each addressing different levels of support needs.
Designed for participants with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairments, providing improved accessibility and safer living environments.
Homes designed for individuals with significant physical disabilities, including step-free access and adaptable layouts.
Durable housing designed for participants who may display complex behaviours, with reinforced design features.
The most advanced SDA design category, including:
Ceiling hoist provisions,
Backup power systems,
Emergency response systems,
Advanced assistive technology integration.
Selecting the correct design category ensures long-term safety, independence and compatible care. Our team can walk Geelong families through which category best matches a participant’s current NDIS plan and functional assessment.
For individuals with complex medical or mobility needs, the home environment directly impacts safety and wellbeing.
Purpose-built SDA housing can support:
Safe integration of mobility equipment
Our approach blends clinical expertise with compassion and dignity, so every Geelong participant feels cared for, respected and empowered at home.
At Love Home Nursing, our approach to SDA combines clinical expertise with a deep understanding of participant support needs. We work closely with participants, families, and allied health professionals across Geelong, Barwon Health and the wider Barwon region to ensure housing environments support both safety and long-term independence.
This clinical background allows us to understand how housing design, accessibility, and healthcare support must work together to deliver the best outcomes.
Our focus is simple: helping Geelong participants access safe, stable homes that support dignity, independence, and quality of life.
An occupational therapist or allied health professional evaluates the participant's functional needs and housing requirements.
Supporting reports confirm why specialised housing is necessary for safety and daily living.
All documentation is submitted to the NDIS for SDA funding review.
If approved, SDA funding is included within the participant's Capital Supports budget.

When housing and clinical support align, Geelong participants and families benefit from:
To apply for SDA, an NDIS participant must submit supporting evidence such as a functional capacity assessment and allied health reports explaining why specialised housing is required. The documentation is then reviewed by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to determine eligibility.
SDA homes in Geelong are built under four design categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust, and High Physical Support. The appropriate design category depends on the participant’s functional needs and NDIS funding approval.
Yes. Many SDA participants live with varying levels of independence depending on their support needs. Some may receive additional supports such as Supported Independent Living (SIL), while others may receive alternative support services.
Yes. Many Specialist Disability Accommodation homes are designed to integrate assistive technology such as ceiling hoists, automated doors, backup power systems, and mobility equipment to support participants with high physical needs.
Participants typically work with a local Support Coordinator, SDA provider, or allied health team to identify suitable properties. Housing availability depends on the participant’s approved SDA design category and the level of support required.
