Specialist Disability Accommodation in NSW
The Achieve Foundation partnered with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the current Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) map throughout the state based on a first-of-its-kind data sharing agreement with the NDIA.
This report provides an analysis of the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) supply in New South Wales (NSW), with data communicated in diverse and inclusive ways. The analysed data is a snapshot of SDA supply in NSW at September 2022. The analysis references the diversity of housing types, SDA design categories and patterns of distribution.
The report has two objectives:
Identify and describe the quantity and types of SDA settings currently available to eligible National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants.
Showcase how data can be presented in diverse and inclusive ways in accordance with a reader’s individual preference.
This report is the first of its kind to present the report data in a range of accessible formats, including narratives descriptions of the map data for screen readers, and an Easy English version of the report. With this approach, the authors ensure that this important work integral to planning for the disability community is available to the audience it will impact.
