What Is Specialist Disability Accommodation β And What Makes Guardian Living Different?
Guardian Living develops and manages premium Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) for NDIS participants with disability and high support needs β purpose-built homes designed to unlock greater independence, freedom, and quality of life.
From the ground up, every Guardian Living SDA property is developed with one goal in mind: to give participants a home that works for them, in a location they want to live, with the ongoing support to thrive there.
Our tenancy support is fully participant-led β meaning your goals, your choices, and your NDIS plan sit at the centre of everything we do. We donβt just build homes. We walk alongside residents for the long term, ensuring their living situation continues to reflect what matters most to them.
This is what the NDIS was built for. And itβs what we show up to deliver, every day.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
SDA is NDIS-funded housing for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. It funds the building itself β purpose-built or significantly modified with accessibility and safety features β not the day-to-day support services delivered inside it. Those are funded separately, usually through Supported Independent Living (SIL).
SDA is for NDIS participants whose disability significantly affects their ability to live safely and independently in standard housing, and who can demonstrate that specialised housing would improve their outcomes. Only around 6% of NDIS participants meet this threshold. Eligibility is assessed by the NDIA based on functional impairment and support needs β not diagnosis alone. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can talk you through the assessment process or point you to a Support Coordinator who can help.
SDA homes are built to one of four NDIS design categories, each suited to different needs:
- Improved Liveability β for people with sensory, intellectual or cognitive disabilities
- Fully Accessible β for people with significant physical disabilities who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs
- Robust β for people who require a more durable living environment, often due to behaviours of concern
- High Physical Support β for people with very high physical and clinical support needs, which can include ceiling hoists, backup power and home automation
Guardian Living has properties across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria including Ballarat, Mildura and Geelong, as well as homes in New South Wales and Brisbane and across Queensland.
Yes. Guardian Living provides ongoing tenancy support alongside the home itself β from move-in through day-to-day tenancy matters, repairs and maintenance. We work closely with each tenant’s support providers and Support Coordinator, but we don’t deliver personal care or SIL supports directly; those come from your separate NDIS-funded support team.
Start by reaching out to our team β whether you’re an NDIS participant, family member, or Support Coordinator, we’ll talk through your needs, SDA eligibility and funding, and which of our homes might be the right fit. From there we support you through home matching, tenant agreements and move-in, working alongside your Support Coordinator the whole way. Call 1300 452 732 or email info@guardianliving.com.au to start the conversation or browse current vacancies on our Properties page.
Yes. Guardian Living provides the home β we don’t deliver personal care or Supported Independent Living (SIL) supports. Choice of provider is a core NDIS principle, so you’re free to choose the support provider that’s right for you, and we work alongside whoever that is to make sure your home and your supports fit together properly.
Guardian Living is a founding member of the SDA Alliance. We take a whole-of-journey approach β from design and construction through to tenant matching and ongoing tenancy support β rather than just handing over a set of keys. Our homes are built to exceed NDIS Design Guidelines, not just meet the minimum, because we design around real people’s functional, sensory and lifestyle needs, not just accessibility checklists. And our relationship with tenants doesn’t end at move-in: our team stays involved for the life of the tenancy, working alongside your support providers to make sure the home keeps working for you.
