NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) builds have specific evacuation planning needs. Residents may have limited mobility, sensory impairments, or rely on support workers for transfers. AS 3745 still applies, but the diagrams need to reflect SDA-specific realities: a Mobility Impaired Persons panel that prioritises alerting support staff, accessible exit pathways, viewer-oriented heads-up diagrams, and assembly areas suited to occupants who cannot move quickly without assistance.
Why sda accommodation need diagrams
- Residents may have limited mobility and rely on support workers for evacuation
- NDIS providers and SDA design certifiers expect documented emergency planning
- Inspection and certification require AS 3745-aligned diagrams in place at occupancy
- Mobility Impaired Persons procedures must be visible at every diagram placement, not just in the procedures binder
- Each diagram must be oriented to the viewer actual facing direction per AS 3745 clause 3.6, especially important for residents who depend on the diagram to anticipate the path ahead
- Insurance and SDA service-provider agreements typically require evidence of compliant emergency planning
Where to install diagrams
- Inside each resident bedroom (primary bedroom, visitor or respite bedroom)
- In each unit main living or kitchen area
- In utility buildings (laundry, garage, storage)
- At main resident entry points
- Near accessible exit pathways
- In support staff or office areas if separate from resident space
Common challenges
A typical 4-unit SDA build needs around 13 to 14 evacuation diagrams: roughly 3 per unit (primary bedroom, visitor or respite bedroom, kitchen or living area) plus dedicated diagrams for utility buildings. Each diagram is oriented to the viewer actual facing direction, so the same unit produces three differently-rotated diagrams. The Mobility Impaired Persons panel takes priority over the standard RACE wording, focusing on alerting support staff, calling 000, and remaining in a safe area if evacuation is not possible. Symbol conventions matter: smoke alarms in red, sprinkler heads in blue where installed, exit paths in green, and a clear assembly area marker on the site plan.

SDA Accommodation FAQ
Does each unit need its own diagram?
Yes. Each SDA unit is a separate dwelling with its own evacuation route, so each needs its own set of diagrams. A typical 4-unit SDA build needs around 13 to 14 diagrams in total: roughly 3 per unit (primary bedroom, visitor or respite bedroom, kitchen or living area) plus dedicated diagrams for utility buildings such as the laundry, garage, or storage room.
What goes in the Mobility Impaired Persons panel?
The Mobility Impaired Persons panel takes the place of the standard RACE wording on SDA diagrams. It typically directs occupants and support staff to alert all support staff present, call 000, evacuate using the marked path if safe to do so, and remain in a safe area near a window if evacuation is not possible. The exact wording is tailored to the support model and resident profile.
How is each diagram oriented?
AS 3745 clause 3.6 requires diagrams to be oriented heads-up so that the direction the viewer is facing matches the top of the diagram. In an SDA unit, this means the bedroom diagram, the kitchen diagram, and the respite-bedroom diagram of the same unit can each have a different rotation. The site plan inset can stay in fixed orientation for stable external reference.
