Around 6% of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants will be eligible for SDA. This workshop is highly valuable if you’re working for people who may be eligible, as you will need to provide the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) with evidence that addresses the SDA eligibility criteria, set out in the SDA Rules 2020 and Reasonable and Necessary in the NDIS Act. This is an interactive workshop where you will gain an understanding of the SDA Rules, SDA eligibility and the evidence required for an SDA application.
Topics include:
- What SDA is, who might be eligible for SDA and how to untangle the SDA Rules 2020
- The evidence the NDIA requires to determine if a participant is eligible for SDA funding
- The importance of addressing the SDA Rules 2020 to safeguard the housing needs and preferences of people with disability
- The importance of the separation of housing and supports in the NDIS
- The critical role of support coordinators and other allied health professionals in gathering evidence for SDA applications
