NDIS housing supports and appeals – The basics

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) introduced an exciting new range of home and living options for people in the scheme. Ridmi Ambalanduwa and Louise Martin from Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion, will explore the options available with a focus on the legislative framework and documents required by the NDIS to secure funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Appeals of NDIS housing support decisions will also be covered.

Topics we’ll be exploring include:

• Home and Living options and the NDIS
• What is SDA?
• Eligibility criteria for SDA
• Securing appropriate supports to work alongside SDA
• Appeals of NDIS housing support decisions
• Recent AAT case examples.
