Claiming and Property Management

Two people working through the claiming amounts for an SDA project

Your SDA funding, paid accurately and on time, with zero admin stress for you.

When you live in your own SDA home, your NDIS funding is designed to help cover the costs of the property—such as paying your specialised mortgage. However, the NDIS does not automatically deposit this money into your bank account. It must be actively claimed every month by a registered SDA provider, like Integrated Access.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has strict billing rules. To release your funds, claims must be submitted through the complex PRODA portal using specific billing codes that match your exact dwelling type, location, and design category. If a claim is submitted incorrectly, payments are delayed or rejected, which can be incredibly stressful if you are relying on that income to pay a mortgage.

Additionally, the NDIS requires all SDA participants—even owner-occupiers—to have an official "SDA Residency Agreement" in place with a Registered Provider to legally release the funds.

Why is claiming SDA funding so complicated?

We handle the financial red tape so you don't have to. As your NDIS Registered Provider, we manage the entire billing cycle on your behalf. We ensure every dollar you are entitled to is claimed accurately according to the latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements, and we ensure those funds are transferred smoothly to cover your property costs.
