A formal certification process, led by an Accredited Assessor, to confirm that a dwelling meets the SDA Design Standard and qualifies under an official SDA category.

Without this certification, a property cannot be enrolled as SDA or receive NDIS funding. It ensures homes are truly suitable for people with high support needs.

  1. Design Stage  Certification - Review of design plans before construction
  2. Final-As-Built Certification - On-site inspection post-build
  3. Documentation - Issuance of Certificate of SDA Category Compliance.

Yes. We support projects from early design stages through to certification, helping ensure compliance and usability go hand in hand.
