NDIS Accommodation & Support Coordination Changes: Planning for SIL, SDA and New Panels

This guide explains NDIS reforms to supported living and accommodation. Key changes: NDIA can directly commission 24/7 SIL for high-needs cases and has a special plan variation safety-net; more SDA houses are being built but applicants must meet strict criteria; new accessibility standards (NCC 2022) are coming; by Oct 2027, plan managers must be from a government-approved panel; and mandatory registration is expanding to most supports. We outline what providers and families can do to prepare.
