NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is funding provided to enable people with extreme functional impairment, or very high support needs, to live in the community and receive the support they need.
The NDIS has allocated $700 million annually to fund Speciality Disability Accommodation.
Currently, there is a shortage of adequate SDA properties for people with disabilities because suppliers are unable to meet the housing demand. It is estimated that A$5 billion will be required to fulfil the objectives for Special Disability Accommodation (SDA) and to support SDA participants. The government's new program to build SDA properties has inspired private investors to support the initiative, leading to investments and the creation of new housing.
All Australians can now feel confident that they, or a family member with a permanent or significant disability, will be able to move into a home that suits their needs, and thanks to the NDIS SDA housing scheme. The NDIS ensures that people with a disability receive the care and services they need, while SDA funding helps provide livable homes-bricks-and-mortar housing-for a small number of NDIS participants who qualify for the funding.
A liveable home is one that can meet the diverse needs of its residents throughout their lives. These homes must offer easy access, be simple to navigate, and allow for economical customisation. Housing providers must be able to meet participant requirements and satisfy changing needs, all while ensuring maximum independence for participants.
Of the estimated 50,000 NDIS participants who will require specialised housing by 2030, many currently lack access to Specialist Disability Accommodation due to insufficient supply. In addition, a significant proportion of existing disability housing, such as institutional group homes and basic category housing, requires upgrading or redevelopment in the near future. NDIS Property Australia supports participants by providing them with a forever home that promotes independence, improves quality of life, and supports caregivers.
We strive to provide ethical investment opportunities with sustainable long-term returns for Investors and owner-occupiers. We partner with builders, developers, and SDA property providers to offer consultancy and advice to both investors and participants seeking a forever home.
