Frequently Asked Questions About SDA in Dandenong
Common questions from participants, families and support coordinators about Supported Disability Accommodation.
What is the difference between SDA and SIL?
SDA (Supported Disability Accommodation) covers the cost of the specialist housing itself. SIL (Supported Independent Living) covers the cost of the support workers inside that home. Many participants receive both SDA and SIL funding together, and Caring Hearts provides both services.
How do I get SDA funding in my NDIS plan?
SDA funding is approved through the NDIS planning process. You need supporting evidence from an occupational therapist and/or allied health professionals. Your support coordinator can assist with this, and our team can also guide you through the process.
Can I choose which SDA property I live in?
Yes. Within your approved SDA design category and location, you have a say in which property you move into. Caring Hearts will work with you and your family to find the best match based on available vacancies in Dandenong and south-east Melbourne.

When a vacancy becomes available, we match participants based on their approved NDIS design category, support needs compatibility, location preference and availability. Contact us to register your interest and be placed on our waitlist.
