Support Coordinator

Moving into an Edenbridge Living home is a life-changing experience for my brother, who has an intellectual disability. The 1-bedroom villa gives him the independence he craved but still with support available and friends living next door. The Edenbridge team's dedication to their residents' comfort is evident in every detail of their homes.

Support Coordinator

Modern kitchen and dining area with wooden cabinets, white countertops, a wooden dining table with white chairs, and hardwood flooring. Doorways lead to other parts of the house.

As a support coordinator, my primary concern is to find accommodation that not only ensures the safety and comfort of my clients but also enriches their lives. Edenbridge Living has been a remarkable partner in this regard. It's a relief to know that such a dedicated provider is just a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions

SDA is a range of housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA dwellings have accessible features to help residents live more independently and allow other supports to be delivered better or more safely.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a range of services provided to people with disabilities to support them in living as independently as possible. This typically includes assistance with daily tasks, personal care, and developing skills to participate in the community, tailored to the individual’s needs and goals. SIL aims to empower individuals by enhancing their ability to perform everyday activities within their own homes and communities.

There are four distinct SDA design categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, High Physical Support, and Robust.

Having checked SDA dwelling enrolment and vacancies and within the availability of suitable SDA properties, you can choose your accommodation based on location, type, and provider.

Yes, you can move to another SDA if your needs change or if you find a more suitable option. However, this requires a reassessment of your eligibility and needs.

Support varies by accommodation but can include on-site care, access to therapy services, community activities, and assistive technologies.

To be eligible for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes, an individual typically will be aged between 18 and 65, have extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, and be approved for SDA funding in their NDIS plan.

The timeline can vary depending on individual circumstances, including the availability of suitable accommodations and the completeness of your application.

You can request a review of the decision through the NDIS. It’s also beneficial to consult with your NDIS planner or a local area coordinator for further guidance and to explore alternative solutions.

SDA funding covers the cost of the physical environment for eligible NDIS participants. SDA funding does not cover personal daily living costs like groceries and internet.

Simply contact us and our dedicated team will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you’re on the right path.

SDA funding is paid directly to SDA providers to cover the building and maintenance costs. Participants pay a reasonable rent contribution and other day-to-day living costs such as electricity bills.
