Specialist Disability
Accommodation (SDA)

Funding is only provided to a small proportion of NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs who meet specific eligibility criteria.

SDA funding under the NDIS will stimulate investment in the development of new high quality dwellings for use by eligible NDIS participants. SDA funding is not support services, but is instead for the homes in which these services are delivered.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) - Investment Information Summary

• NDIS/SDA funding initiatives for property investors who facilitate housing 28,000 disabled Australians. This number is just an educated estimate and the real number could be as many as 3 times this estimate.

• The NDIS backstory: The UN: The rights of persons with disabilities. The Australian Government was one of the first countries in the world to be a signatory of the ‘UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’. The Federal Government via the $23b NDIS SDA program has committed $700,000,000.00 annually for the next 20 years through directing substantial ‘rental assistance’ to generously compensate ‘SDA investors’ who specifically invest in compliant homes to drastically increase suitable housing supply.

• Massive undersupply: Studies in 2018 found there is a the major shortfall of disability accommodation throughout Australia requiring a 60% increase in the number of homes available. Currently, as well as the estimated 28,000 Australians with a disability that the NDIS has identified as living in inappropriate accommodation, the NDIS/SDA identifies 6,000 + young Australian’s who are currently living in aged care facilities due to a lack of housing options and this number is increasing by 50 young Australians each week. We also have no figure on the number of young people living at home and being cared for by families but believe that this could also be a significant number.

• Who is it for?: This hybrid investment product is best suited to those as a long term buy and hold strategy with the benefit of both secure cash flow and capital growth. Properties must be built in good areas, close to major amenities and transport.
