Changes to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) rules are set to improve people’s access to Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) under the $22 billion scheme.
Minister for Families and Social Services, Paul Fletcher said the changes will remove barriers to SDA funding for NDIS participants, boosting access to SDA and allowing it to be placed in plans sooner.
“Currently 10,975 people are benefiting from SDA in their NDIS plans, which is estimated to rise to 28,000 at full scheme,” he said.
