Finding the right home when you are living with Huntington’s disease can feel like a big step, especially when you know your needs are likely to change over time.

Symptoms of Huntington’s disease often begin to appear in adulthood, typically between the ages of 30 and 50. At this stage of life, the right home should fit the life you want to keep living. SDA is designed for independent living in your own home and community, with support close by when you need it and your own space, routines and choices firmly in your hands.
It’s about staying in control of your day and living on your own terms, whatever stage of life you’re at.
Choose the setting that suits you. Apartments give you a self-contained home close to transport and services. Villas offer more space and privacy in a quieter, neighbourhood setting. Shared living gives you your own bedroom with consistent onsite support and company close by. Browse them all in the home directory.
Improved Liveability (IL) caters to participants with sensory, intellectual or cognitive impairments. It offers subtle design features that can significantly enhance the liveability of those who may need that extra bit of support in their home. Some of these features include contrasting walls and doors, improved wayfinding with limited corridors, task lighting and visual assistance lines. The main outcome of Improved Liveability housing is to assist you to navigate around and promote overall safety and comfort.
The Fully Accessible (FA) design category caters to individuals with high physical impairment. The main focus of this design is to support mobility so you can move around your home with ease. The main features of FA SDA include wider doorways and corridors, flat flooring and open-plan layouts.
The High Physical Support (HPS) design category caters to individuals with high physical impairment and require a lot of support with daily activities. Similar to the FA design category, this category features open-plan layouts, step-free accessways and wide corridors. Additionally, other provisions such as ceiling hosts and even wider door openings are required to enhance accessibility, movement and comfort for you.
The Robust SDA design category caters to individuals with disability such as autism, mental health conditions and other psycho-social disorders. Homes under the Robust category are built with durable and strong materials that prevent injury, neighbourhood disturbances and the need for frequent maintenance.
To access SDA you must be an NDIS participant, and SDA has its own criteria on top of that. The NDIS does not fund SDA on diagnosis alone. It looks at your functional impairment and support needs, because people living with the same condition can need very different support.
According to the NDIS, you may be eligible for SDA if you have:
Huntington’s disease is commonly associated with extreme functional impairment, which is one of the criteria for SDA, though eligibility is always assessed individually, taking into account the stage of the condition and how it affects your daily living, mobility and safety. We’ll work with you and your supports to help you understand where you’re at.

Visit in person and picture daily life there, now and into the future.
Settle in with support on hand as your needs change.
There is no single best option. The right choice depends on your support needs, how you like to live and your NDIS funding. Many people with Huntington’s are assessed as suited to High Physical Support SDA, often blended with other design features, because it supports higher physical needs and specialised equipment as the condition progresses.
Yes. SDA is independent housing in your own community, designed to adapt as your needs change, with support close by when you need it. It lets you keep your own home, space and choices while staying safe as things progress.
That is the point of how we build. Our homes combine Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible and High Physical Support design, with provisions for future assistive technology. As your mobility, support or safety needs change, features can be added without you needing to move.
Yes, for eligible participants. SDA funding covers both shared and single-occupancy homes. Eligibility depends on your individual needs. If you are unsure, use our eligibility calculator or speak with your support coordinator.
Huntington’s often causes involuntary movements, which can make an ordinary home harder to live in safely. Durable, impact-resistant features reduce the risk of injury and wear, so the home stays safe and comfortable.
Start with your NDIS plan and eligibility, then browse homes by city or check current vacancies. Our team offers SDA across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and can help you find and plan for the right home.
