Understanding SDA Robust Housing: a secure and supportive home 

For some people, finding the right home is about more than just accessibility—it’s about security, durability and creating a space where they can thrive. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Robust Housing is designed specifically for people who require a resilient and structured environment to support their independence and well-being. SDA Robust Housing is funded through the NDIS for eligible participants. 

What is SDA Robust housing? 

SDA Robust Housing is a category of SDA designed for people who may have complex behaviours that require a home built with additional safety measures. These homes are designed to be resilient while maintaining a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. 

A Robust home is designed to withstand higher levels of impact and wear while also ensuring the safety of all tenants, their support workers and the broader community. The goal is to reduce environmental stressors, improve stability and support the individual’s long-term independence. 

Why choose a Guardian Living Robust home? 

We believe that everyone deserves a home that meets their individual needs and supports their independence. Our SDA Robust housing is designed to be both secure and welcoming, ensuring that residents have a stable foundation to build their lives. We work closely with individuals, families and support networks to ensure that each home provides the right level of safety, comfort and care. 

Resilient materials and fixtures – Our Robust homes are built using high-strength materials that are designed to endure frequent use and resist damage. This includes impact-resistant wall finishes, durable vinyl flooring and reinforced fixtures to maintain a long-lasting and secure environment. 

Thoughtfully designed interiors – We carefully select colour schemes and design elements that promote a low-stimulation and calming atmosphere, making the space more comfortable for individuals with high intellectual support needs. 

Emergency exit doors – Our homes are equipped with emergency egress doors that allow for quick, safe exits when needed. These doors are designed to ensure both residents and support workers can respond swiftly in urgent situations. 

Advanced soundproofing – Noise reduction is a priority in our Robust homes. Our soundproofing features help minimise external disturbances and create a quieter, more private environment, enhancing comfort for residents who experience sensory sensitivities. 

Strengthened structural elements – Reinforced walls, doors and doorframes provide extra durability and security, while safety glass windows help reduce the risk of breakage, further enhancing the home’s resilience. 

Comprehensive safety measures – Safety is paramount in our Robust homes, with fire-resistant materials, smoke detectors and fire suppression systems included to protect residents and provide peace of mind. 

Integrated assistive technology – Our homes incorporate smart technology features such as automated environmental controls, electronic door systems and touch-sensitive interfaces. We work closely with tenants to tailor these technologies to their individual needs. 

Dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) rooms – Our Robust homes include a separate, secure space for support workers to stay overnight, ensuring 24/7 assistance is available whenever needed.
