Provision of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) has improved under reforms announced in February by the Minister for Families and Social Services, Paul Fletcher, and the Assistant Minister for Social Services, Housing and Disability Services, Sarah Henderson.
The reforms include changes to the SDA Pricing and Payments Framework and the SDA Rules to provide greater surety to providers and investors, support more timely eligibility decisions, and to give participants more choice and control over living arrangements.
The NDIA has also published a new SDA Price Guide for the 2018-19 financial year.
More information on the changes can be found on the DSS website .
