What is the NDIS/SDA?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative that provides funding and support to individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. The scheme is designed to help participants achieve greater independence, improve their quality of life, and access the necessary services and technologies to support their daily living.
The NDIS is participant-focused, meaning individuals receive tailored plans that provide funding for essential supports, including assistive technology, personal care, therapies, and home modifications. This enables participants to live more independently and engage more fully in their communities.
At Livigy, we specialise in smart assistive technology that aligns with NDIS goals, helping participants enhance their home environments with automation, communication systems, and security solutions. Whether it’s controlling lights, doors, or emergency communication, our technology empowers people to live safely and comfortably with greater autonomy.

What is SDA Housing?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a type of housing designed to support people with extreme functional impairments or very high support needs under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). SDA homes are built to be more accessible, ensuring residents can live safely and independently while receiving the care they need.
These purpose-built homes feature specialist design elements such as wider doorways, step-free access, automated systems, and assistive technology to enhance mobility, safety, and daily living. SDA housing is funded by the NDIS, helping eligible participants live in suitable, long-term accommodation that meets their individual needs.
At Livigy, we provide smart assistive technology tailored for SDA housing, including automated lighting, security, climate control, and communication systems. Our solutions ensure SDA homes are not only compliant but also comfortable, connected, and future-ready for residents and support providers alike.
If you’re an SDA provider, builder, or NDIS participant looking to integrate smart technology into SDA housing, contact Livigy today!

Understanding the NDIS and SDA
What is the NDIS/SDA? The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds supports that help eligible Australians with disability live more independently. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a specific NDIS support for participants who need specialist housing because of extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.
SDA housing is built or modified to a higher design standard than typical homes. Categories can include improved liveability, fully accessible, robust and high physical support dwellings. Smart assistive technology and environmental control often play a major role in making these homes safe and usable day to day.
Livigy helps participants, providers and builders understand how the NDIS and SDA frameworks connect to practical technology: personal alarms, monitoring, lighting control, door access and whole-of-home environmental control packages that align with SDA design intent.
