William Grey Jennifer Henry2024-06-11 In my own experience I believe that Enliven Housing has no equal. All of my contact with Enliven Housing, in my search for SDA, was helpful, positive and professional. My move into SDA was very easy and entirely fantabulous, and I can't recommend Enliven Housing enough! For me, rating Enliven Housing as a 5 star company is entirely justified, and I am delighted to recommend them to you 🙂 Stuart A Hurst2024-06-11 I have had the privilege of knowing the Enliven team for quite some time now. I first met Faye and Tino when Enliven Housing was still in its early stages, with only two completed buildings and another still being constructed, known as 'The Wave', where I currently reside. It is truly amazing to witness how Enliven Housing has grown and thrived since then. Their unwavering commitment to their clients, individuals with disabilities like myself, and their dedication to providing us with top-notch Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) service, which I find commendable and I highly recommended. The Enliven Housing team is undoubtedly, one of the best SDA providers in Australia today, setting an example of excellence in SDA living. Cheers Stuart A Hurst The Wave, Rockdale.

SDA Housing FAQs
What type of housing does Enliven offer?
Enliven Housing provides luxury apartment-style living within a vibrant village setting. Our apartments include both one and two-bedroom units that are integrated into multi-unit developments. This means that the SDA units are located on different floors and in various areas of the building, potentially making your neighbors a diverse mix of individuals from the community.
What are the specification differences between the SDA design categories?
Improved Liveability | Designed for people who have sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairment. These properties are designed to not only make it easy to manoeuvre through the property, but the doorways, handles, and switches are all clearly visible to allow for seamless access. |
Fully Accessible | Designed for people with significant physical impairment. Wheelchair users will benefit from this design category as there are no steps in a Fully Accessible home. The doorways are wide, and the bathroom and kitchen are made to be used by people either in a seated or standing position. |
High Physical Support | This type of SDA home has all the amenities of a Fully Accessible SDA with additional features including provision for hoist if required and a backup UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for important equipment when there is a power outage. Provisioning for AT in this category is more extensive, and you will be able to apply to have voice or remote-controlled doors, lights, and heating. specifically designed to ensure those with significant physical impairments and critical needs can access it effortlessly. |
What is the difference between SDA and SIL?
Your SDA funding helps cover the cost of the actual property where you live, like the building itself. Your SIL or ILO (Individual Living Options) funding is for the support you get from people.
You can get these services on their own or at the same time. You don’t need to live in an SDA housing to get SIL support.
Check our SDA Housing Guide for more insights.
Why is my housing provider separated from my personal support provider?
The separation of these two functions offers you the freedom to choose where you want to live and who provides the support for your daily living needs. If you have concerns related to either your housing provider or your support provider, rest assured that raising these concerns will not impact the delivery of the other support.
Enliven Housing specialises in housing and tenancy services exclusively, not personal support. We collaborate closely with our tenants and their chosen support providers to ensure the achievement of stable housing, effective support arrangements, and an improved quality of life.
 Our tenancy model at Enliven Housing entails tenants becoming members of a Cooperative, and actively engaging with the Onsite Support Provider.
I'm over 65, can I still be eligible to live in an SDA apartment?
Yes, you can still be eligible to live in an SDA apartment if you are an NDIS participant with SDA funding in your plan. However, if you are over 65 and not currently an NDIS participant, you cannot become one after reaching this age. NDIS eligibility is determined before the age of 65, and new participants cannot join beyond this age.
