Tactical Housing Soulutions
Tactical Housing Soulutions will be dedicated to supporting NDIS Participants find their forever home through the building and development of Specialist Disability Accommodation. Our Mission is to reduce and contribute to the elimination of Younger People residing in Residential Aged Care facilities or Hospitals.
Is there a right to housing? Every person has the right to an adequate standard of living, which includes the right to adequate housing (ICESCR, Article 11).
The right to housing is more than simply a right to shelter. It is a right to have somewhere to live that is adequate. Whether housing is adequate depends on a range of factors including:
legal security of tenure
availability of services, materials, facilities and infrastructure
affordability
accessibility
habitability
location
cultural adequacy.
For more information, see Housing as a Human Right.
What do we mean by younger people in Residential Aged Care?
When we talk about younger people in residential aged care, we mean someone under the age of 65 who lives permanently in a residential aged care facility.
Tactical Ability are committed to reducing and contributing to the elimination of the need for younger people to have to reside in Residential Aged Care Facilities.

What is SDA
Specialist disability accommodation (SDA) is a range of housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA dwellings have accessible features to help residents live more independently and allow other supports to be delivered better or more safely.
Participants eligible for SDA:
- have an extreme functional impairment or very high support needs
- meet the specialist disability accommodation needs requirement and the NDIS funding criteria
SDA helps to stimulate the market to produce high quality, contemporary, accessible, well-designed housing for participants with SDA funding in their plan. SDA funding is paid directly to SDA providers to cover the building and maintenance costs. Participants pay a reasonable rent contribution and other day to day living costs such as electricity bills.
Some NDIS participants receive funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
NDIS provides funding through a participant’s plan and the participant, often with additional support such as a support coordinator, then finds and applies for the SDA option that best suits their needs.
SDA funding in participant plans is used for housing, not services or supports
The assessment and enrollment process
The SDA design standard requires an accredited third-party SDA assessor to be engaged by the SDA developer or owner at the design stage and final as-built stage of a dwelling development.
A SDA assessor is the only person who can issue a certificate of SDA category compliance, to confirm that the design and or final-as-built dwelling has met all the requirements of the SDA Design Standard.
The assessment at design stage is intended to provide certainty to the SDA market about future enrolment and allow the preparation for dwelling enrolment to be undertaken with the NDIA. Once the final as-built dwelling is assessed and found to be compliant with the SDA design standard, the SDA provider can then enrol the final as-built dwelling with the NDIA.
The NDIA will record the details of the project at design stage and include this in data releases to inform the market of the pipeline of work under development, noting that commercial in confidence or identifying information will be protected.
A list of all accredited SDA assessors can be found at Find an SDA Assessor
FAQs
Can anyone build a SDA Property
Providers must be registered for Registration Group 0131 (Module 5), through the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, to enrol a Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) dwelling.
All applications to enrol dwellings as SDA must be submitted to the NDIA through the NDIS provider portal.
An application to enrol a dwelling as SDA can be commenced at any time, however it can only be submitted for assessment by the NDIA when the dwelling is fully built and completed.
A dwelling is complete when a Certificate of Occupancy/Completion or equivalent has been issued.
SDA Enrollment Outcomes
The NDIA aim to process dwelling enrolment applications within 28 days of receiving a complete and correct application.
This is as long as providers have included all the information and documents needed. The NDIA are not responsible for delays due to incorrect or incomplete applications.
If the outcome of the application is to enrol the dwelling as SDA, a Certificate of Enrolment will be emailed to you.
The status of the dwelling in the my NDIS provider portal will change to Enrolled.
If the outcome of the application is to not enrol the dwelling as SDA a letter explaining the decision will be emailed to the application contact. The status of the dwelling, in the my NDIS provider portal , will change to Not Enrolled.
