Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Newcastle
Built by 4u Care just for our participants.
Safe, comfortable, and made to support how you live, now and later.
Everyone deserves a home that actually works for them.
Not just a roof, four walls and a ramp but a place where you can get around easily, feel safe, and live how you want to.
SDA should feel like freedom, not fuss. Comfort, not compromise. And if it’s done right? It feels like home.
That’s what we’ve built at 4u Care. Our SDA Villas in Wallsend were designed specifically for people with high physical support needs. They’re modern, light-filled and fully accessible, with practical features that make daily life smoother.
These aren’t generic units with a ramp out the front. They’ve been purpose-built with care, attention to detail, and the understanding that your home should work for you, not the other way around.
Whether you're ready to move or still figuring things out, we’re here to make the process clearer and more straightforward.
What is SDA?
SDA stands for Specialist Disability Accommodation. It’s NDIS funding that helps cover the cost of living in a home that’s been specially designed for people with high physical support needs or extreme functional impairment.
At 4u Care, we’ve already built the homes, purposefully and properly, with features like wide doorways, step-free bathrooms, lifts and structural support for ceiling hoists, and more.
The SDA funding helps you live in a home like this because homes built for higher support needs take more to get right. From the design, to the technology, to the way it’s maintained over time, there’s a lot that goes into making sure the home works for you. The funding ensures you can access a place that truly fits, without having to compromise on safety, comfort or independence.
If you also need help with day-to-day things like personal care, meal prep or social support, that’s where SIL (Supported Independent Living) comes in. You can have SDA, SIL, or both depending on what’s in your plan.
Not sure how it all fits together? That’s what we’re here for.

Who can access SDA?
You may be eligible for SDA if you:
Have extreme functional impairment or very high support needs
Require specialist housing to live more independently and safely
Have SDA funding included in your NDIS plan.
If you’re unsure, that’s okay. We’re happy to talk you through it or work with your coordinator to figure out next steps.
SDA and SIL:
What’s the difference, and how do they work together?
SDA: Specialist Disability Accommodation
Covers the physical home
Funded by the NDIS for specialist housing
Helps you live safely and comfortably in your own space
You can have one, or combine both, depending on your plan
SIL: Supported Independent Living
Covers the daily support services
Funded by the NDIS for help with daily living
Helps you manage things like meals, hygiene, and routines
You can have one, or combine both, depending on your plan
At 4U Care, we offer both SDA housing and SIL support. That means we can help coordinate a setup that works together, without back-and-forth between different providers.
What to expect with 4u Care
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone’s preferences, routines and needs are different, and that’s how we treat every placement.
Here’s what working with us looks like:
Clear communication from the start
A straightforward process for applying and moving in
Practical, well-designed homes that are built to last
Support that fits your lifestyle, not the other way around
A team that knows SDA and SIL, and how to make them work together
We’re not here to talk you into anything. We’re here to help you find a setup that feels right.
Let’s Make It Happen
