Who Is Eligible for Huntington’s Disease Housing Under the NDIS?
In order to be eligible for SDA housing, you must first be an NDIS participant. This has it’s own eligibility criteria that is separate from SDA eligibility.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) doesn’t allocate funding based on diagnosis alone. Instead, eligibility is determined by your functional impairment and support needs. This approach recognises that people living with the same condition can experience different levels of support needs.
You may be eligible for SDA if it’s the best option for your support needs when compared to other options alone. To determine this, an NDIA representative will work with you and your support network using a specific SDA eligibility criteria.
According to the NDIS, you may be eligible for SDA if you have an extreme functional impairment or you have very high support needs.
Huntington’s Disease is commonly associated with extreme functional impairment. However, eligibility is assessed on an individual basis, taking into account the stage and progression of the condition and how it impacts daily living, mobility and safety.
We’ll work closely with you and your formal supports to help you understand your eligibility and explore the housing options that best support your long-term independence.

FAQ
What type of housing is best for Huntington’s Disease?
There is no single “best” housing option for individuals with Huntington’s disease. The right choice depends on your individual support needs, how you like to live and the NDIS funding you are approved for.
That said, many individuals with Huntington’s Disease are assessed eligible for High Physical Support SDA. This is one of four SDA design categories. This category is a good option if you need more assistance with daily activities and require specialised equipment to help both you and your support workers navigate tasks safely and effectively.
Does the NDIS fund housing for Huntington’s Disease?
Yes. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can provide SDA funding for eligible participants, including both shared and single-occupancy homes.
Eligibility depends on your individual needs and circumstances. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, you can use our SDA eligibility calculator or speak with your Support Coordinator to explore your options.

Our homes are also designed with provisions for future Assistive Technology (AT) automation. If your needs change, new technology can be added without you needing to move or change homes.

What’s the difference between SIL and SDA for Huntington’s Disease?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to the daily support services you receive in your home, such as help with personal care, meals and household tasks. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to the physical home itself — housing designed to support people with higher or more complex needs.
For some people with Huntington’s Disease, Fully Accessible and High Physical Support SDA homes offer features that can be particularly beneficial, such as step-free access, accessible bathrooms, wider doorways and the ability to integrate assistive technology and support equipment. These features are not typically covered by standard housing or SIL funding alone.
