Frequently Asked Questions

Abilities Housing Services is a registered NDIS provider that provides Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). We provide high quality, safe and supported accommodation for people with disabilities. We are committed to working with our customers to individualize their support needs and enable them to live as independently as possible.

We currently have Disability housing options in Dubbo, Orange, Wagga Wagga and Bathurst.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing designed to meet the needs of people with high support needs arising from their disability. SDA can include features such as a personal care area, a communal kitchen and living area, or other features that would support a person to live as independently as possible.

You will need to cover the cost of your lodging, which is called ‘rent’, as well as your living expenses. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will fund a reasonable amount towards the cost of your SDA, based on your individual needs and circumstances. For more information about how rent is calculated, check out the SDA Operational Guidelines.

You need to have an assessment of your housing needs and confirm that you meet the SDA criteria as set out in the NDIS SDA Guidelines. You can ask your LAC or Support Coordinator to organise this for you, or you can contact a registered NDIS provider who can assess your housing needs.
