Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Ability WA provides Specialist Disability Accommodation services across Perth, WA. Our partnerships with quality disability housing providers means we can support you to find housing that meets your needs with 24-hour onsite support. You may choose to live in a home with other housemates who live with disability, or you can choose to live on your own in a villa or apartment located near other people with whom you share your support team.
To be eligible for SDA, you must have
- Extreme functional impairment - you need lots of support from someone with many of your daily tasks such as moving around at home, your personal care, meal preparation, or looking after yourself. This is in addition to any assistive technology or home modifications; and/or
- Very high support needs - you need a lot of one-on-one support, for a significant part of the day from paid support workers.
If you are not eligible for SDA, Ability WA has many other housing options you may be able to access with our Community Housing providers. For more information, the NDIS comprehensively explains what specialist disability accommodation is and who it’s for.
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a specialised NDIS-funded service for people with high support needs. You’ll receive daily assistance and supervision that helps you to live as independently as possible, either alone or in shared accommodation
Ability WA is an experienced Supported Independent Living provider with a large team of skilled support workers, Enrolled Nurses, and Registered Nurses to provide you with the support based on customer requirements, including 24-hour onsite support workers. For more information, the NDIS clearly explains what supported independent living (SIL) is and who it’s for.
Drop-in Supports
If you’d like to continue living on your own or with family but just need some assistance with day-to-day living tasks, our Access Program can help. A Support Worker can come to your home and provide assistance with personal care, shopping, paying bills, cooking, cleaning, going to appointments, running errands and accessing your community. We usually recommend having a team of at least two regular Support Workers, as that way when one staff has time off, the other team member can still assist you. Having this support might mean you can continue living independently or with family for as long as you like, in your own community. We can even provide a vehicle to access your community if you choose. Support is provided for a minimum 4-hour period.
Disability accommodation for every stage of life
At Ability WA, we get that finding the right place to live is a big deal, whatever stage of life you’re in.
It might mean moving out of the family home for the first time, finding a place that better suits your changing needs, or simply having more choice and control over how you live.
For you, it’s about feeling comfortable, supported and at home in a space that works for you.
For family and the people who matter to you, it’s about knowing you have the right support around you while still having the freedom to live life on your terms.
And that’s where our Home & Living team comes in.
We’re here to help you to create a home and a way of living that suits your needs, preferences and goals. One with smart tech that makes things easier, support workers who actually ‘get’ you, and spaces that feel like home from day one.
Whether it’s setting your own house rules, choosing who you live with, having friends over for dinner, or enjoying a quiet cuppa in your own space. Your space, your rules, your way.
Ability WA is here to help you realise your abilities and live safely, confidently and with joy. Because the right home should support the life you want to live – whatever that looks like, and wherever you are in life.
