NDIS housing vacancy listings
Novida lists Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes with current vacancies across Australia, including photos, accessibility features, support ratios and rent. Participants can filter by location and needs and set alerts for new vacancies — for free.
Supported housing is one of the hardest things to find on the NDIS, because vacancies are scattered across provider websites, spreadsheets and word of mouth, and are rarely listed in a way you can compare. Novida brings SIL and SDA vacancies into one marketplace with the structured detail families actually need to make a decision.
Each listing shows accessibility features, support ratios for day and overnight, housemate information, rent and the SDA design category — so you can tell whether a home genuinely fits before you enquire, and set an alert if the right one is not vacant yet.
Everything is built around finding the right home rather than chasing the most listings. You can filter by your location and support needs, view photos and floor plans, compare homes side by side, and make a free, private enquiry only when one is worth a closer look. Nothing is published until a provider lists a real vacancy, so the homes you see are the ones you can actually move towards.

Why it helps
Real, current vacancies

Accessibility upfront
See step-free access, hoists, bathroom design, SDA category and support ratios before you spend time enquiring.
Vacancy alerts
Set an alert for your area and needs, and be notified the moment a matching home becomes available.
Filter to what fits
Narrow listings by suburb, design category, support level and access needs, so you spend time only on homes that suit you.
Search anywhere in Australia
Look in your own suburb or further afield, including regional areas where supported vacancies are harder to discover.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL (Supported Independent Living) is the support delivered in a home — the staff roster — funded from Core. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is the specialist dwelling itself, funded from Capital for eligible participants. Listings on Novida show both where they apply.
Are housing listings free to browse?
Yes. Browsing SIL and SDA vacancies, filtering by your needs, setting alerts and enquiring is free for participants and families.
How do I know a vacancy is current?
Providers manage their own listings and mark vacancies as available now or coming soon. For the latest, send a free enquiry — you will only hear back from homes that respond.
Can a support coordinator enquire on a participant’s behalf?
Yes. A coordinator can search, set alerts and send enquiries about a vacancy for the participant they support, then share the details and arrange the next steps.
What is an SDA design category?
It is the level of specialist build a dwelling is certified for — Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust or High Physical Support. Your plan funds a specific category, so it tells you at a glance whether a home matches your funding and needs.
Can I register interest before a home is vacant?
Yes. Set an alert for your area, design category and support needs, and you will be notified the moment a matching home becomes available — so you can act before it is widely known.
