NDIS SDA Property, Developments and Investments
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a key component of the NDIS. Individuals with high support needs or functional impairments are accommodated in SDA housing.
Due to the severe shortage of suitable housing, there is a significant demand for more suitable housing. Due to this, the government has offered longer tenancies and higher rents than average to attract private investors.

Very brief overview...
While NDIS properties present an attractive investment opportunity with potential high returns, it's crucial to recognize that all investments involve inherent risks. Before committing to such investments, thorough due diligence is paramount and you must seek legal advice.
​
The process involves familiarizing yourself with the unique standards and regulations set by the NDIS to ensure that the property meets the necessary accessibility and accommodation requirements for individuals with disabilities.
Considering the specialized nature of NDIS properties, engaging with experts in the field, such as consultants with experience in disability accommodation or advisory organizations affiliated with the NDIS, can provide valuable insights.
​
How does Funding Work?
​
The funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) encompasses the expenses associated with constructing and maintaining the dwelling(s). The level of funding varies based on factors such as the building type, design category, location, and the number of participants who will reside in the property (refer to the details below for more information).
This funding, known as the 'SDA Payment,' is supplemented by 25% of a participant's Disability Support Pension (DSP) and the Commonwealth-funded Reasonable Rent Contribution (RRC), collectively forming the Rental Income for an SDA Property.
​
It's important to note that the specialized design and specification enhancements in an SDA dwelling may result in higher construction or purchase costs compared to a standard residential property.
​
Fortunately, individuals interested in investing in SDA properties have the option to apply for an NDIS property loan. This financial support can aid in covering the expenses associated with acquiring or developing SDA properties, making the investment more accessible and feasible for potential investors.
​
Finding a tenant
Finding a NDIS participant approved for SDA to reside in your property is the critical area to making this type of investment work.
A SDA enrolled dwelling must have a registered SDA Provider linked to it and they receive the SDA income on behalf of the owner/investor. The SDA Provider is generally responsible for ensuring the property is tenanted by approved SDA participants.
