Two Participant High Physical Support SDA Designed for Privacy and Stability

Charlemont, VIC 3217

High Physical Support SDA | 2 Bedrooms | Final-As-Built Assessed 20 Munro Drive, Charlemont is a purpose-built High Physical Support SDA home designed for participants who need a home that supports accessibility, safety, privacy, and everyday independence. The property has been assessed under the SDA Design Standard and documented through the official Assessment Summary Form and SDA checklist. This is not a modified home. It has been designed from the beginning as an SDA dwelling, with the layout, bedroom positioning, bathrooms, and support spaces all carefully planned to suit participants with high physical support needs. The home provides two participant bedrooms, accessible bathrooms, a dedicated carer space, open-plan living, a functional kitchen, and step-free access throughout the property. Every space has been planned to balance independence and practical support.

Open, Functional and Easy to Navigate The central living and dining area connects the key parts of the home in a simple and practical layout. From the living space, participants can move easily to the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and outdoor area without unnecessary turns or narrow passages. The single-level design means essential spaces are all on one level, making daily routines easier and safer. The open layout also makes it easier for support workers to assist when needed while still allowing participants to maintain independence and privacy in their own space.

Private Spaces Designed for Comfort and Independence The home includes two participant bedrooms positioned to give each resident privacy while still allowing quick support access when needed. The layout shown in the architectural drawings clearly separates the bedrooms from the main living area, helping create a calm and comfortable environment. Each bedroom has been designed with accessible circulation space and direct access to accessible bathroom facilities. This allows participants to move safely and comfortably between their bedroom and the bathroom without barriers or complicated layouts.

Safe, Practical and Support-Friendly The home includes accessible bathroom spaces that support both independence and assisted care when required. The layout allows safe movement around the bathroom and makes daily routines such as showering and personal care easier for both participants and support workers. The bathrooms have been planned as part of the High Physical Support design category, meaning the positioning, circulation space, and layout follow SDA requirements rather than standard residential design.

Designed for Everyday Independence The kitchen sits directly next to the main living and dining area, creating a practical and easy-to-use layout. This design supports participants who want to be involved in daily activities such as preparing meals, spending time with others, or simply moving around the home independently. The open connection between the kitchen and living area also allows support workers to assist when needed without making the space feel clinical or restrictive.

Designed to Make Support Practical The floor plan includes a dedicated support space positioned close to the participant bedrooms. This layout helps reduce response times when assistance is needed, especially overnight or during daily routines. This design makes the home practical for SIL providers while still maintaining privacy for participants. It allows support to be available without making the home feel like a facility.

Private and Easy to Access The property includes a private outdoor area that connects directly to the main living space. This gives participants a quiet and secure place to relax outdoors while still staying close to the main areas of the home. Having accessible outdoor space is an important part of everyday wellbeing. It provides space for fresh air, quiet time, or spending time with family, support workers, or visitors in a more relaxed environment.

Built Around Real Participant Needs The Assessment Summary Form and SDA checklist confirm that the home has been assessed under the High Physical Support design category. This category is designed for participants who require the highest level of physical accessibility and support within the SDA framework. Key design considerations include: Single-level layout for safer and easier movement Accessible bedroom and bathroom positioning Open-plan living areas that support both independence and assisted care Support-friendly layout with practical circulation spaces Private participant areas combined with shared living spaces Purpose-built design rather than a modified standard home These features work together to create a home that supports independence while still making support delivery practical and efficient.

A Layout That Makes Daily Support Easier The floor plan has clearly been designed with real-life support in mind. Participant bedrooms are positioned for privacy but still allow quick access when support is required. The open living layout makes it easier for staff to assist with daily tasks while still giving participants freedom to move around independently. The simple, functional layout also makes rostering more practical and reduces the need for workarounds, which helps create a better experience for both participants and support teams.
