Engagement and Transition
From the moment you reach out to Enliven Housing, you’ll be looked after by an SDA specialist who will personally kick-start your journey and guide you through a transition to your new SDA apartment, so you can live your best life.
When you contact Enliven Housing
Tell us about your situation
Speak to our friendly experts and get an understanding about your SDA eligibility, how our Community Coop operates and whether apartment living is the right fit for you. If you're ready to take the next step, we'll guide you through a straightforward application process.
Assessing your suitability
We'll get to know you and ask for an application and some documents to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of your needs. Our expert panel carefully reviews your application and develops an internal report that guides our decision-making process.
We'll make you an offer
After careful consideration, we'll present you with one of two outcomes. You will either receive an offer for your home with us or, alternatively, if we believe there might be a better fit elsewhere, we'll recommend providers who align more closely with your requirements.
Our Appeals Program
At Enliven Housing, we believe everyone has the right to live independently if that’s their goal and it can be done safely. We understand that SDA, especially single occupancy, is not always straightforward and there are a lot of steps and processes to showing the NDIS why this is the best option for you. That’s why we’ve created an internal program to guide and support you through this unique journey.
We’re committed to making your journey towards independent living as smooth as possible and in some cases, we can offer you an interim lease even if the funding isn’t quite right. We’ll work closely with you to secure the correct funding for your circumstances while ensuring you have a stable place to call home in the meantime.
Transition to your new home
We understand that the transition to a new home is a significant life step, and we’re committed to making this journey as smooth and empowering as possible. Our dedicated team ensures a warm introduction to all the people you will be working with and will guide you through your home set up – including assistance with lease arrangements, so everything you need to be safe is there before you move.
Right throughout this transition process, our team serve as coaches, providing continuous support and guidance, every step of your journey.
SDA Housing FAQs
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.
Do you provide SDA apartments with funding for Robust?
We specialise in providing apartments for tenants with Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, and High Physical Support SDA categories. We do not offer housing for participants with ROBUST funding.
Can I choose the location of my SDA apartment?
Yes, you have the flexibility to select your preferred location for your SDA home. Enliven Housing offers SDA apartments in NSW, Victoria, ACT, and South Australia!
What NDIS Funding do I need to live in one of your SDA apartments?
To live in one of our apartments, you will need funding for:
- SDA Apartment single resident (1 or 2 bedrooms).
- OOM (Onsite Overnight Monitoring – at least one hour per night).
- Sufficient Core funding to purchase support for safe living.
- Assistive Technology funding in your plan.
I want to follow up on my application, who should I contact?

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.
