Specialist Disability Accommodation in Narellan: A Family's Guide

What High Physical Support means here

Our Narellan home is an enrolled Specialist Disability Accommodation property built to the High Physical Support design standard, the highest SDA design category. In practice that means the accessibility is structural, not retrofitted: fully accessible design throughout, structural provision for ceiling hoists, emergency backup power to essential equipment, and the home is assistive technology ready, with doors, blinds and communication systems that can be automated.

Bathrooms are accessible with hobless showers, and household and kitchen features are usable from a seated position. These are the details that decide whether a home works for someone with high physical support needs, and here they are built in from the slab up.

The area, honestly

Narellan is in the Camden area on Sydney's south west edge. Narellan Town Centre on Camden Valley Way is a sub-regional shopping centre with around 220 stores, close to the home. Camden Hospital is a short drive, with the larger Campbelltown Hospital further east, and the Narellan Sports Hub has athletics, netball, hockey and multipurpose fields if sport is part of someone's week.

There is no railway station in Narellan; Macarthur, about 6km away, is the nearest, with buses along Camden Valley Way. For a High Physical Support home this matters less than it would elsewhere, since most travel is by accessible vehicle, but you deserve the honest picture.

Who this home is for

SDA funding is written into an NDIS plan only where there is clear evidence of need, usually alongside SIL funding for the day-to-day support itself. If you are not sure whether SDA applies to your situation, our guide SIL vs SDA explains the difference in plain English, and our team can talk through the evidence a plan review would need.

Seeing it for yourself

Photos do not do accessibility justice in either direction. Visit our Narellan home with your family, therapist or support coordinator, and test the spaces that matter to your daily routine.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need SDA funding in my plan to live here?

Yes, this is an enrolled SDA dwelling, so SDA funding at the appropriate design category needs to be in your plan, usually alongside SIL. We can help you and your coordinator understand what evidence a review would need.

Can equipment like hoists be installed?

The home has structural provision for ceiling hoists and is assistive technology ready, so equipment can be fitted to suit the person rather than working around the building.

What happens in a power outage?

The home has emergency backup power to essential equipment, one of the requirements we consider non-negotiable for High Physical Support living.
