What Makes a Fit-for-Purpose SDA Home?

At GR8 Disability Housing, we don’t just meet NDIS requirements – we exceed them. 

As WA’s leading Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) provider, our homes are built to the highest quality standards, combining innovative design, thoughtful features, and attention to detail that go above and beyond compliance.


Every home is purpose-built to support participants in their daily lives, from bedrooms to bathrooms, kitchens to living areas. 


It’s this focus on high-quality functionality that ensures participants can truly thrive in their space.

Kitchens that empower independence

 

The kitchen is more than a place to cook – it’s a space to connect, create, and feel confident. 


Our kitchens are carefully designed to support independence for all mobility levels:


Open-plan layouts for smooth, unobstructed access to appliances and countertops.

Adjustable features for ease of use at different heights.

Drop-front sinks, pull-out shelving, and easy-reach cupboards to make everyday tasks simpler.

Side-opening ovens for improved access.

Pull-out pantry cupboards for better visibility and convenience.

Pull-out dishwashers to improve accessibility.


Every detail is built with accessibility and usability in mind, ensuring that participants can engage with their kitchen safely and independently every day.

Bathrooms designed for comfort, dignity, and safety

 

Bathrooms in our SDA homes are built to make personal care easier while maintaining comfort and privacy:


Stepless entries and roll-in showers for effortless access.

Grab rails for safe, confident movement.

Lowered-height basins for flexible use.

Reinforced structures to accommodate ceiling hoists and other equipment.

Oversized layouts to allow a shower bed to be brought in and rotated through 360 degrees.


These thoughtful features make bathrooms not just functional, but empowering spaces for everyday life.

Bedrooms that support daily independence

 

A bedroom should be a private sanctuary that supports autonomy. GR8 bedrooms are designed with comfort, safety, and independence in mind:


Wide 1200mm doorways and floor-level entry for easy access.

Reinforced ceilings ready for hoists or other assistive equipment.

Storage at reachable levels for convenience.

Optional direct access to the outdoors, with some bedrooms featuring exclusive courtyards.

Kitchenettes in bedrooms for added independence and privacy.

Natural light and fresh air to make every room bright and welcoming.

Spacious, modern private bathrooms for comfort and privacy.

Individual climate control systems so residents can set their preferred temperature.


Each bedroom is a space designed around the participant’s needs, combining safety, independence, and personal comfort.

Living rooms that make everyday life comfortable

 

Living areas are more than shared spaces – they are designed to be inclusive, easy to navigate, and comfortable for everyone:


Generous layouts with wide minimum 1500mm corridors for effortless mobility.

Accessible light switches and power points within easy reach.

Open shelving and smart layouts to support independence in daily living.

Climate control systems for year-round comfort.


These spaces are built for relaxing, connecting, and living with confidence.


At GR8 Disability Housing, every detail in our SDA homes is designed to make daily life simpler, more empowering, and adaptable. 


From clever layouts to thoughtfully selected features, our homes support participants to engage with their space, pursue their interests, and live in a way that truly suits them.


It’s about creating homes that work around the people living in them – not the other way around.
