Introduction
   This directory has been compiled as part of the Queensland Hospital Discharge and
   Housing project.
   The purpose of the directory is to provide information to hospital discharge teams and their
   patients about housing providers who may have suitable housing options for discharging
   patients who are NDIS participants, but are having difficulties locating suitable housing.
   The providers in this directory have been briefed about the aims of the Queensland Hospital
   Discharge and Housing project and are aware that they may be approached with referrals
   of NDIS participants (or their support coordinators) seeking help with identifying potential
   housing options.
   The information provided in this directory has been supplied by each provider.
   The Queensland Hospital Discharge and Housing project is funded by the Queensland
   Government and will operate during 2020.

   Queensland Government support for the Queensland Hospital Discharge and Housing Project
   does not constitute an endorsement of providers. The Queensland Government encourages
   housing for people with disability (both mainstream housing and specialist disability
   accommodation) to align with the Housing Principles for Inclusive Communities.
   An up-to-date list of all Registered NDIS Providers can be found here.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA):
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding is provided through the NDIS to an eligible NDIS participant
to pay for the physical property (bricks and mortar) when a person is deemed to have an extreme functional
impairment and/or very high support needs and requires an SDA dwelling to enable them to live more
independently and receive the support they need.
If an NDIS participant “has SDA”, this should mean they have approved SDA funding in their NDIS plan. The NDIS
provides funding for SDA to participants through their individual NDIS plans. Participants can then select an SDA
dwelling and associated provider within the budget of the SDA amount in their plan.
The SDA payment from the NDIS is then paid to the provider and the NDIS participant living in the property
pays a rent contribution. The revenue that SDA housing providers receive is made up of a Reasonable Rent
Contribution from the tenant (capped at 25% of the Disability Support Pension, plus rent assistance or equivalent
for a person receiving a different source of income ~$8,550 pa) and the SDA payment from the NDIA.
SDA also refers to housing that has been specially designed to meet the needs of people who have been
deemed as having extreme functional impairment and/or very high support needs resulting from their disability.
SDA housing must be “enrolled” with the NDIS to be eligible for SDA payments.
SDA funding is designed to give NDIS participants choice and control of where they live, how they live and
with whom they live. Funding of other disability supports for an individual is separate to SDA funding for their
specialist housing needs. The SDA model of funding creates a user-driven market where individuals can make
decisions about the type of housing they will access with their SDA payment.
The SDA funding and market supply model is expected to deliver better and more person-centred housing
outcomes for people with very high and complex disability support needs.
When the NDIS is fully rolled out across Australia it is expected around 28,000 people will receive SDA funding
in their NDIS plans. This equates to approximately 6% of the participants in the NDIS.
It is estimated $700 million per annum will eventually be spent on SDA payments as part of the NDIS
The SDA policy was initially outlined in the ‘Specialist Disability Accommodation: Decision Paper on Pricing
and Payments’ released on 1 June 2016 and the more practical application of SDA is defined within the
NDIS SDA Rules that were first published in March 2017, with the latest version being SDA Rules 2020.
The current set of documents that describe requirements for SDA provision are found at the SDA Pricing
and Payments webpage:
   •   SDA Price Guide
   •   SDA Rules
   •   SDA Registration and Dwelling Enrolment

Overview information and publications about SDA are found on the NDIS SDA page for providers. It’s a good
idea to monitor content on this page as further new information about SDA can be expected to be added to
this page over time.

SDA Building Type:
An SDA dwelling must be enrolled under one of several specified Building Types, broadly:
   •   Apartment (maximum 2 residents)
   •   Villa/duplex/townhouse (maximum 3 residents)
   •   House (2 to 3 residents)
   •   Group home (4-5 residents)

SDA Design Categories:
An SDA dwelling must be enrolled under a Design Category, which specifies dwelling features. The SDA
Price Guide specifies the design requirements and features associated with each Design Category.
The Design Categories are:
   •   Basic (only applies to Existing SDA dwellings) – Basic design means a dwelling enrolled
       as Existing SDA which has no special accessibility or liveability design features.
   •   Improved Liveability – Improved Liveability design dwellings must be designed to LHA* Silver level
       and have improved liveability design features, such as lines of sight for people with sensory, intellectual
       or cognitive impairment.
   •   Fully Accessible – Fully Accessible dwellings must be designed to LHA Platinum level for people with
       significant physical impairment, featuring good wheelchair accessibility in the bathroom, kitchen and
       external areas.
   •   Robust – Robust dwellings must be designed to LHA Silver level, having good physical access features,
       but are also designed to be very resilient and safe, including retreat areas for safety of residents and
       support staff.
   •   High Physical Support – High Physical Support dwellings must be designed to LHA Platinum level, having
       a very high level of specialised design and physical access, such as structural provision for ceiling hoists in
       new builds.

Short Term Accommodation (STA):
STA is Short Term Accommodation and funds an NDIS participant for housing, supports, food, board, etc for
short periods of time, often referred to as respite. STA is generally funded for 14 days but can be extended if
approved by the NDIA.
For further useful information about STA, go to this page.

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)
MTA is Medium Term Accommodation and funds an NDIS participant for housing only; the ‘bricks and mortar’.
It is a type of funding support recently introduced by the NDIS and provides funding for interim housing while
an NDIS participant is waiting for longer term housing to be available (e.g. waiting for home modifications to be
completed or for their confirmed SDA housing to be ready). MTA is generally funded for 90 days but can be
extended if approved by the NDIA.
For further useful information about MTA, go to this page.

Supported Independent Living (SIL):
SIL is Supported Independent Living and funds an NDIS participant for support with and/or supervision
of personal care, and daily tasks to develop the skills of an individual to live as independently as possible.
These are the supports provided to a participant in their home, regardless of property ownership, and can
be in a shared or individual arrangement.

Social Housing - Public and Community Housing
Social housing includes both public housing and community housing and is for people on low incomes who can’t
get housing elsewhere. Rents are based on income and are set to be affordable and allow for other living costs.
Public housing in Queensland is managed by the Department of Housing and Public Works. Community housing
providers also manage social housing – it is then called community housing.
Regardless of who manages it, social housing means you pay an affordable rent and you have security of tenure
– which means you can stay as long as you want, if you have an ongoing housing need and follow the rules as a
tenant. But there can be a long wait for public and community housing, up to several years. And you don’t get
a choice of homes when you apply – a house, townhouse/villa or apartment may be offered. The offer will be
based on information you provided in your application.If you don’t like what is offered or it is unsuitable, you
might wait a long time for another offer.

Not-for-Profit (NFP)
Generally, a not-for-profit is an organisation that does not operate for the profit, personal gain or other benefit
of particular people (for example, its members, the people who run it or their friends or relatives). The definition
of not-for-profit applies both while the organisation is operating and if it closes down. For example, the Summer
Foundation is a NFP organisation.
