Purpose-Built Improved Liveability SDA Home Designed for Independent Living

The Heart of the Home Spacious, Practical and Comfortable to Live In

• The centre of the home is a spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that connects directly to the entry, bedrooms, and outdoor alfresco space. The layout has been designed to feel open and easy to move through, while still providing clear zones for daily living.
• The single-level layout means every essential space is located on the same level. The home includes a kitchen, living area, laundry, bathroom, and participant bedroom spaces all on the entry level, in line with the Improved Liveability design category requirements.
• Corridors, doorways, and internal circulation spaces have been designed to allow safe and comfortable movement throughout the home, whether participants are living independently or receiving regular support.

Participant Bedrooms Private, Comfortable and Properly Designed

• The home includes two participant bedrooms, both positioned to provide privacy while still being close to the shared living area. Each bedroom includes a built-in robe and has been designed to meet the minimum bedroom size requirements set out in the Improved Liveability SDA design category.
• The layout ensures that participants have their own personal space while still feeling connected to the rest of the home. Natural light, clear circulation space, and direct access to accessible bathroom facilities all contribute to a comfortable and practical living environment.
• This balance of privacy and connection is an important part of what makes a shared SDA home feel like a real home rather than just accommodation.

Onsite Overnight Assistance Room Support That Works Without Affecting Privacy

• The floor plan includes a dedicated OOA room located within the home. This room allows support workers to stay onsite when required, without reducing the independence or privacy of participants.
• Having a separate OOA room makes overnight support practical for SIL providers while still allowing the home to feel calm and private for the people living there. It also supports flexible rostering and faster response times when support is needed.
