All dwellings proposed for New Build SDA enrolment post 1 July 2021 are required to obtain certification by an Accredited SDA Assessor in both design stage and at final-as-built stage. Compliance is required in accordance with Edition 1.1 of the NDIS SDA Design standard based on the particular design category.
The assessment at design stage is intended to provide certainty to the SDA market about future enrolment and allow the preparation for dwelling enrolment to be undertaken with the NDIA. Once the final as-built dwelling is assessed and found to be compliant with the SDA design standard, the SDA provider can then enrol the final as-built dwelling with the NDIA.
The NDIA will record the details of the project at design stage and include this in data releases to inform the market of the pipeline of work under development, noting that commercial in confidence or identifying information will be protected.
A SDA assessor must be registered with the NDIA and is the only person who can issue a certificate of SDA category compliance, to confirm that the design and or final-as-built dwelling has met all the requirements of the SDA Design Standard.
