Eden Housing · SDA eligibility guide

Could SDA be worth exploring?

Use this plain-language reflection guide to organise questions for your my NDIS contact and treating professionals. It is not an official eligibility decision.

Self-reflection checklist

Questions to discuss—not a score

Select any statements that describe the current situation. Your answers stay on this page and are not sent or saved.

No checklist can confirm SDA eligibility. The NDIA considers each person’s circumstances, evidence, other options and the NDIS funding criteria.





If several statements are relevant, use them as discussion prompts with your my NDIS contact, support coordinator and treating professionals. You can also review the official NDIS home and living request steps.

Describe the problem

Record current housing barriers, risks, informal supports and the impact on daily life.

Clarify the goal

Explain where and how the person wants to live, and what a suitable home would make possible.

Explore alternatives

Consider other home and living supports and document why they may not meet disability-related needs.

Gather evidence

Ask relevant treating professionals to provide recent, specific and functional evidence.

What strong housing evidence connects

Useful evidence connects functional impact, the current environment, required supports and the outcome being requested.

Functional impact

What the person can and cannot do because of disability, including mobility, self-care, communication and self-management.

Housing barriers

Specific features, risks or circumstances in the current home that make daily life or support delivery difficult.

Support frequency

What support, aid, modification or supervision is required, when it is required and how often.

Options and outcomes

What other options were considered, why they do not meet the need, and what suitable housing would achieve.
