Overview:
Everhomes, in collaboration with SILSDA, NDISLINK and NDISDA, is hosting a series of educational events in North Queensland (Mackay, Townsville, and Cairns) to clarify Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) eligibility, address common misconceptions, and prepare participants for upcoming changes in the NDIS landscape. Many NDIS participants and their support networks may be unaware of their eligibility or believe they cannot live with their loved ones in suitable housing. This session aims to dispel these myths and provide crucial information to help people access the housing they need.

• Recognize the benefits of separating Supported Independent Living (SIL) and SDA providers and why this is an NDIS priority.
• Prepare for the changes coming from the NDIS review and what they mean for housing and service provision.
• Learn practical steps to help eligible participants navigate the process of obtaining SDA funding and finding appropriate housing.
