How can I learn more about best practice SDA?
We have published the Best Practice Guide: Specialist Disability Accommodation. This best practice guide has been developed based on deep engagement with SDA Alliance members, including people with disability. Our members are committed to the principles of best practice and achieving good outcomes for people in need of specialist accommodation.
The purpose of the best practice guide is to offer guidance and recommendations on several major areas of SDA including:
• Design best practice + innovation in design
• Thin markets
• Participant engagement: design + build process
• Conflict of interest + rights and responsibilities
• Separation of housing and care supports
• Service agreements with participants
• Tenancy management
• Safety and complaints process
• Choice and control + participant safety
• Diversity + inclusion
• Quality providers – staffing, organisational culture
This resource has been designed for SDA market players including SDA providers, government, institutional investors, developers, builders, allied health professionals and support coordinators.
