What NDIS Housing Is Available in Hobart?
Care Assure operates High Physical Support SDA, Robust SDA, and SIL homes across Greater Hobart. Only 4 registered SDA providers operate in Hobart. If you need a specific design category or a compatible home, early contact is not optional; it is necessary.
NDIS Housing in South Australia
Hobart's NDIS housing market covers Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) purpose-built homes funded through the NDIS Capital Supports budget and Supported Independent Living (SIL) daily support workers funded through the Core Supports budget. Most people who receive SDA also receive SIL; the two supports work together, funded separately.
Tasmania's SDA market is unique. Homes Tasmania, the state government's housing authority, is the largest SDA landlord in the state. They own older SDA-standard properties that are leased to SIL providers. Private providers like Care Assure fill a different gap: newer, higher-specification homes, particularly High Physical Support and Robust SDA that were built specifically for the modern NDIS market rather than converted from older housing stock.
For Hobart participants, this means you may need to approach both Homes Tasmania and private providers to find the right home. Care Assure operates in the private SDA segment with homes built to current SDA design standards.
SDA Housing in Hobart: What You Need to Know
SDA in Hobart is funded through the Capital Supports section of your NDIS plan. The NDIS pays an SDA contribution directly to the registered provider. You pay a Reasonable Rent Contribution of roughly 25% of the Disability Support Pension plus Commonwealth Rent Assistance. There are no bonds or upfront costs.
The NDIS sets maximum SDA funding rates annually in the SDA Pricing Arrangements. These vary by design category and building type. High Physical Support SDA attracts the highest rates because of the cost of building and maintaining specialist infrastructure.
Only about 6% of NDIS participants nationally are eligible for SDA. In Hobart, with approximately 1,900 NDIS participants and only 4 registered SDA providers, waitlists are real. If you think you may be eligible, start the application process now, well before you need to move.
High Physical Support SDA Homes in Hobart
High Physical Support (HPS) is the most specialist SDA design category. It is built for participants who need 24-hour care and complex assistive technology to live safely at home. The standard features include:
- Ceiling hoist infrastructure throughout the home, including bedroom, bathroom, and living areas
- Backup power supply for life-sustaining equipment
- Automated doors, motorised windows, and voice or switch-accessible technology
- Wider corridors and turning circles for power wheelchairs
- Reinforced floors for ceiling hoist track installation
- Accessible bathrooms with adult-sized changing benches and overhead hoists
Care Assure's Hobart HPS properties are located in Rokeby, Old Beach, Magra, Sorell, and Claremont. These homes were designed from the ground up for participants with the highest physical support needs, people transitioning from the hospital, participants with acquired brain injury requiring 24-hour care, and those with progressive neurological conditions.
For support coordinators: our Hobart HPS homes are suited to participants with NDIS SDA approval at the HPS category. Contact us early about upcoming vacancies. HPS properties in Greater Hobart move from vacant to occupied quickly due to the limited supply.
Robust SDA Homes in Hobart
Robust SDA is purpose-built for participants with complex or challenging behaviours. The homes are built with reinforced materials, stronger walls, doors, and fittings and layouts designed to reduce escalation risks. They also have secure perimeter access and a thoughtful design that allows safe navigation for both participants and support staff.
Care Assure's Rokeby location includes Robust and HPS SDA, reflecting the Hobart market, where many participants with complex behaviours also have significant physical support needs. Our staff working in Robust SDA homes receive specialist training in positive behaviour support, de-escalation, and working safely with participants who present significant behavioural challenges.

Care Assure's current Hobart SDA and SIL vacancies are listed on our properties page, including the suburb, design category, bedroom count, and availability status.

SIL Homes in Greater Hobart
Care Assure's SIL homes in Hobart are shared properties in Glenorchy, Kingston, and Moonah. Each home has a roster of trained support workers and a registered nurse who writes and monitors care plans. Our Hobart SIL homes support participants with a range of support needs from moderate daily living assistance through to complex medical and behavioural support.
Glenorchy is our most central Hobart SIL location. It sits in Hobart's inner northern suburbs with excellent bus connections to the Hobart CBD and the Glenorchy Community Health Centre. Kingston gives participants in southern Hobart access to a family-oriented suburb with all major services. Moonah, between Glenorchy and the CBD, sits close to the Moonah Community Health Centre and has good transport to Royal Hobart Hospital.
All Care Assure SIL homes operate with registered nurse oversight. This means a registered nurse writes your care plan, reviews it when your needs change, and provides clinical governance for the support workers delivering your daily care. This clinical layer is not standard across all Hobart SIL providers.
How to Access NDIS Housing in Hobart
Confirm whether your NDIS plan includes SDA, SIL, or both. Your Support Coordinator or LAC can verify your funding and explain your available housing options.
Submit your SDA application with an OT report and functional evidence, then register your interest with Care Assure and other Hobart providers.
Contact both Homes Tasmania and private SDA providers to maximise your chances of finding suitable accommodation with minimal waiting time.
Browse Care Assure's Hobart vacancies, arrange a property inspection, and meet our team before choosing the home that best suits your needs.
SDA Eligibility for Hobart Participants
SDA requires extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, plus evidence that SDA housing will improve your outcomes. The NDIA assesses eligibility through your functional capacity assessment, OT report, and planning conversation with your NDIS planner or LAC.
The Hobart SDA market is competitive relative to its size. Participants who meet eligibility criteria should start the application process before they have an urgent need, because the gap between application and an appropriate vacancy can be months in a market with a limited supply.
Care Assure's Hobart team can discuss your situation informally before you submit a formal application. We can give you a realistic sense of which design category may suit your needs and of our current vacancy timeline.
Royal Hobart Hospital Using SDA or MTA After Discharge
Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) is Tasmania's largest tertiary hospital and the primary source of NDIS housing referrals in southern TAS. Participants who are medically ready for discharge from RHH but do not yet have a permanent home often need either Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) while waiting for their SDA placement, or a direct SDA move-in if a vacancy is available.
Care Assure works with hospital discharge planners and support coordinators at RHH to facilitate rapid MTA and SDA placements. If you are a discharge planner managing an NDIS participant who needs housing in Greater Hobart, contact our team, and we will assess our current vacancy position immediately.
Our Claremont SDA property is the closest to RHH via the Brooker Highway, approximately 20 minutes, making it a practical option for participants transitioning from acute hospital care to community living in Hobart.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What NDIS housing does Care Assure provide in Hobart?
Care Assure provides High Physical Support SDA homes in Rokeby, Old Beach, Magra, Sorell, and Claremont, Robust SDA in Rokeby, and SIL homes in Glenorchy, Kingston, and Moonah across Greater Hobart. We are one of four registered SDA providers in the Hobart area.
- What is SDA housing, and how does it work in Hobart?
SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is purpose-built housing funded through your NDIS Capital Supports budget. The NDIS pays an SDA contribution directly to the registered provider. Participants pay a Reasonable Rent Contribution of approximately 25% of the Disability Support Pension plus Commonwealth Rent Assistance. In Hobart, only 4 providers hold SDA registration, meaning vacancies are limited and early contact is strongly recommended.
- Does Care Assure have High Physical Support SDA homes in Hobart?
Yes. Care Assure's Hobart portfolio is primarily High Physical Support SDA. Our HPS homes in Rokeby, Old Beach, Magra, Sorell, and Claremont are equipped with ceiling hoists, backup power for life-sustaining equipment, automated doors, and full assistive technology infrastructure. Contact us for the current vacancy status in each suburb.
- What is the difference between SDA and SIL in Hobart?
SDA funds the specialist home itself (Capital Supports). SIL funds the support workers who assist you daily in that home (Core Supports). They are funded separately but typically operate together. Care Assure is available in most of our Hobart properties, meaning participants can have one provider manage their home and daily support.
- Can I use SDA after leaving Royal Hobart Hospital?
Yes. Participants who are medically ready for discharge from Royal Hobart Hospital but do not yet have permanent housing can access either SDA (if eligible and a vacancy is available) or MTA (Medium Term Accommodation) while waiting. Care Assure works with RHH discharge planners to facilitate rapid placements. Our Claremont property is approximately 20 minutes from RHH via the Brooker Highway.
- What is Homes Tasmania, and how does it relate to NDIS housing?
Homes Tasmania is the Tasmanian government's housing authority and the largest SDA landlord in the state. They own SDA-standard properties that are leased to SIL providers, who rent to NDIS participants. Care Assure operates private SDA homes outside the Homes Tasmania system, particularly in the High Physical Support category. If you are searching for Hobart SDA, approaching both Homes Tasmania and Care Assure gives you the widest net.
- How many SDA providers are in Hobart?
Only 4 NDIS-registered SDA providers operate in Hobart according to the NDIS provider register. This limited supply means participants seeking SDA in Hobart should contact multiple providers simultaneously, register their interest before a specific vacancy becomes available, and work with a TAS-experienced support coordinator who understands the local market.
- Do Care Assure's SIL homes in Hobart have registered nurse oversight?
Yes. All Care Assure SIL homes in Hobart are staffed by a registered nurse who writes and monitors each resident's care plan. This clinical governance standard is not universal among Hobart SIL providers and is one of the reasons participants with complex medical needs choose Care Assure.
- What SDA design categories does Care Assure offer in Hobart?
Our primary Hobart categories are High Physical Support (HPS) and Robust. HPS homes include ceiling hoists, backup power, automated doors, and full assistive technology infrastructure. Robust homes are designed to support participants with complex behaviours. Contact our team for current availability and to discuss which category suits your approved SDA funding.
- How do I arrange a property visit in Hobart?
Call (08) 7071 9276 or contact us through this page. Tell us which suburb interests you, and which SDA design category you are interested in. We arrange visits for participants, their families, and support coordinators at any Hobart property. We also welcome early-stage conversations before SDA funding is confirmed so we can discuss realistic timelines.
