NDIS Accommodation Comparison Perth: Which Option Actually Fits?

NDIS accommodation in Perth can mean different things depending on whether you need daily support, specialist housing, respite, temporary housing, or a more flexible living arrangement. This page compares SIL, SDA, STA, MTA and ILO so you can choose the option that fits your needs best.

At Achieve Disability Care, the question we hear most often is not what SDA stands for. It is which one do I need. That is what this page is built to answer.

NDIS Accommodation FAQs

What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL funds the support a person receives day to day. SDA funds the specialist housing they live in. They are often used together
No. Respite is STA, a short planned stay. MTA is longer, up to 90 days, and is used specifically as a bridge to a long-term housing outcome.

Yes, if your plan includes funding for both and your circumstances call for it, though they serve different purposes.

ILO is best suited to participants who want more say over their living arrangement than the standard categories typically allow.

Your plan, your functional needs, and your support assessment together determine which categories you are eligible for. 

We work with participants across the Perth metro area. Reach out with your suburb, and we can confirm how we can help.
