Overview:
Everhomes, in collaboration with SILSDA, NDISDA and SDA Conferences and Events, is hosting a series of educational events in North Queensland (Mackay, Townsville, and Cairns) to clarify Specialist Disability Accommodation 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.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the eligibility criteria for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding.
- 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.

Join us for some great networking until 6.30pm !
