NDIS Installation Policies

When you’re working on a project for NDIS housing you must follow the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Design Standards. This standard has 4 categories of SDA design:

• improved liveability
• robust
• fully accessible
• high physical support.

All NDIS related works are reviewed by an Accredited SDA Assessor, so it is vital you adhere to the following design standards. The latest edition of the Design Standard can be downloaded from https://www.ndis.gov.au
