The National disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a scheme of the Australian Government that funds costs associated with disability. The Scheme was legislated in 2013 and is now in full operation and is being rolled out by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), is a Commonwealth Government body responsible for the national roll out of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) on behalf of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Specialist Disability Accommodation – SDA – is housing that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of people who have very high support needs resulting from their disability. The NDIA budget is committed at $700 million per annum, for 20 years, of an NDIS annual budget of $20 Billion, and is to be spent creating and maintaining Housing for 28,000 participants with the highest needs.

The NDIA estimates that of the 28,000 participants that will have housing funding, around 12,000 participants do not have an appropriate home.

These may include people living at home with aging careers, or young persons in residential aged care facilities (RACF).

To meet this demand, the NDIA has estimated that between 500 and 900 new properties will need to be  constructed each year for the next 10 years.

To assist in the roll out and construction of the government funded SDA program, SDA providers have been approved by the NDIA as registered accommodation providers. (ALFAA is a registered NDIS SDA.)

The Supported Independent Living Providers (SIL) work with qualified NDIS clients in collaboration with the SDA.

The SDA secure the approvals and deliver the dwelling certified for use. The SIL provide the on-going care services for the participants in their new homes on a 24/7 basis.

Generally, the SIL providers are “not for profit” organizations and as such do not have the necessary financial resources to “purpose build” Special Disability Accommodation.

ALFAA Management Pty Ltd has formed strategic alliances with several established SIL providers in order to deliver SDA dwellings.

The proposed SDA dwellings have been pre-approved by an NDIS approved SDA certifier, and by NDIS registered SIL providers

Each home is purpose built on a community needs basis, i.e. Each home is tailor built for clients that
have been identified by the SIL provider and the SDA whom will occupy the home when completed.
