SDA HOUSING

Recently the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission have been going around to meet with several large SDA Providers, and Paramount was one such Provider who welcomed the NDIS Commisson into their office to give industry feedback.In this episode, Minh talks to Kevin Chen, from Paramount Disability Homes, about their recent meeting with the NDIS Commission. Representatives from the NDIA flew into Melbourne to meet Paramount at their Box Hill office to chat about the SDA sector.Historically, the NDIA has not prioritised the SDA sector, focusing more on SIL or Support Coordination. However, the recent 'Cocoon scandal' has prompted them to direct more attention to SDA due to safety concerns. This indicates a positive shift, with the NDIA beginning to delve deeper into this niche sector.Kevin points out a "massive pitfall" in the NDIA's understanding of the SDA market, particularly regarding the financial sector and the process of borrowing for SDA development. He notes that the NDIA seemed unaware of tightening financing issues, mistakenly attributing investment challenges solely to high land costs, and that his team had to shed light on these "blind spots."The NDIA commission was surprised by how advanced the SDA sector has become in a short period. The scheme was not initially designed to anticipate such rapid growth and significant investment from sophisticated investors, developers, and institutions.SDA providers face challenges when contacting the NDIA's general team for queries on funding or delays, often receiving non-specialized feedback. Kevin suggested the crucial need for a dedicated SDA team within the NDIA to provide accurate answers and support, given the industry's rapid growth and niche nature.Kevin's impression is that the NDIA's SDA specialist team is definitely under-resourced and understaffed. The increased volume of SDA properties and claims has led to significant administrative delays, particularly for NDIA-managed cases, indicating a lack of sufficient staff to handle the growing demand.The NDIA didn't understand why it is very hard to get multiple SIL providers under one roof. Despite idealistic guidelines suggesting one SDA provider could manage three SIL providers under one roof, this is practically 'impossible' due to the complexities of funding support workers. Providers avoid such arrangements because they are extremely difficult to manage effectively.https://www.ndiscommission.gov.au/--------------------------------Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

This episode is all about Hand in Hand Support Coordination. Minh talks to Katalin Jakus, who runs a business that distinguishes itself from other Support Coordination brands through several unique features and approaches:1. Person-Centred, Holistic ApproachHand in Hand employs a deeply person-centred and holistic model of support coordination. This means they focus on understanding the whole individual—mental, social, physical, and emotional wellbeing—not just the disability. They prioritize listening to the participant's goals, preferences, and lived experiences to tailor support plans that truly reflect the person's unique needs and aspirations.2. Specialisation in Complex Needs and Mental HealthKatalin's business has a strong focus on participants with complex mental health and physical disabilities. Their expertise includes supporting people with multiple diagnoses and trauma backgrounds, which requires nuanced understanding and coordination across various government and community sectors such as Health, Mental Health, Justice, and Education.3. Comprehensive and Flexible Funding AcceptanceHand in Hand accepts a wide range of funding arrangements, including NDIS NDIA-managed, self-managed, plan-managed, and self-funded clients. They also welcome referrals from TAC (Transport Accident Commission) and WorkSafe, offering flexibility that suits diverse participant circumstances.4. Specialist Brokerage ServiceThey provide a specialised brokerage service that supports unregistered NDIS Support Coordinators to maintain compliance and deliver uninterrupted, high-quality services. This service helps with participant onboarding, data management, registration audits, and NDIA fund claims processing, which is not commonly offered by all support coordination providers.5. Strong Industry Connections and Collaborative NetworksHand in Hand builds trusted partnerships with third-party providers to ensure the best fit for each participant's unique requirements. Their collaborative approach fosters a resilient network of supports around the participant, enhancing crisis management and ongoing support planning.6. Experienced LeadershipKatalin brings extensive experience from crisis care and disability support roles, along with academic qualifications in Disability Studies and Positive Behaviour Support.

This is a special episode featuring several articles from The Australian newspaper. These articles were randomly selected from 19 news stories published over the past 10 weeks, covering the Cocoon allegations that have unfolded publicly.The audio files merged in this episode are the exact word-for-word content of these five articles, extracted from the website's text-to-speech software. We're republishing these articles (in audio format) because most people don't have a paid subscription to this news outlet, and we want our listeners to hear this content firsthand regarding the Cocoon controversy.Horizon SolSolutions Pty Ltd also traded as:Cocoon FranchiseCocoon Lifetime CareCocoon SDA AccommodationCocoon SDA HomesUPDATE (28.05.25): Cocoon have now been placed into liquidation. All financial inquiries must be directed to Deloitte, the appointed administrators.Source: THE AUSTRALIANOur research reveals the staggering exposure of Cocoon within NDIS - the NDIS has paid (last 4 years) to Cocoon over $200,000,000, amounting to about roughly $50M per year over the last four years (plus more from prior years). On top of that, Cocoon's property sales - specifically their "House Packages" sold to investors - netted approximately $50,000 in profit per sale (from a $100,000 gross profit). With roughly 300 sales, this equates to $15,000,000 plus in profits pocketed by Cocoon's co-founder, Mr. Zaffar Khan, not to mention his earnings from other land development sales. As recently as April 2025, Khan and his wife were reportedly shopping around to purchase $13 million worth of land in Brisbane. He offloaded a $16.5M site last year too! ASIC & NDIA & ATO should investigate businesses and assets held under Zaffar Khan's family members' names to seize them as "proceeds of crime" & repay the investors & participants - if it is proven that he has defrauded the NDIS or investors.  One has to wonder: How much financial wealth has Zaffar Khan amassed over the years by exploiting the NDIS and property investors - both domestic and abroad?

This episode was recorded on 19.05.25. Since this date, more articles have been written and published by various newspapers, leading to the permanent banning of Cocoon's parent company Horizon SolSolutions, aswell as its ‘nominated' Director, by the Commission. There will be a follow up of this episode to discuss the fallout across the NDIS from this scandal which has been played out in plain sight for many years in front of everyone.If you want to read more articles about Cocoon, log into the news website THE AUSTRALIAN, and read the 19 articles which have been published over the last 2 months. Otherwise, just goggle the words ‘Cocoon SDA Care' whose head office is in Brisbane.Just to show you how big this scandal is, the volume of funds paid from the NDIS to Cocoon, exceeds $200,000,000 - circa $50M per year over the last 4 years (plus much more in years prior). On top of this, would be property sales of Cocoon House Packages to investors (circa $50,000 net profit from their $100,000 gross profit x 200 plus "sales") which would equate to $10,000,000 profits over the years pocketed by the Cocoon Co-Founder (Mr Zaffar Khan) plus his profits from land development deals. As recent as May 2025, he and his wife were recently shopping around to buy $10M of land in Brisbane. ASIC needs to search the businesses and assets being held in Zaffar Khan's family members to be confiscated as "proceeds of crime", to repay all the investor victims!One has to wonder, how much personal wealth has Zaffar Khan pocketed over the years, by milking the NDIS and property investor market, both domestic and overseas.

In this episode, Minh and Debbie dive into the recent quarterly SDA data released by the NDIS on May 16th. They unpack the surprising surge in Pipeline SDA numbers and explain why this jump doesn't necessarily reflect new development activity over the past three months - but rather stems from projects dating back to mid-to-late 2024.They explore where the pipeline is still growing, the limitations of the current reporting framework, and why the broad statistical areas used in the data fail to give the industry a clear, granular picture of future SDA supply. If you've been wondering what the numbers really mean for investors, providers, and participants, this discussion is a must-listen.Tune in for expert insights on interpreting SDA data and what it signals for the future of SDA housing trends.----------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

This episode is about the new frontier of SDA - funds, and “fund of funds” and property syndicates and unlisted property trusts. Why? Because we recently saw online marketing on Facebook, by a well known SDA spruiker from Facebook over the years. The definition of a "spruiker" refers to someone who vigorously promotes or advertises something, often with enthusiasm and a bit of flair. This particular person / company (who we wont name) is now raising capital via their own AFSL and investment PDS (prospectus) online. Having read this detailed document off their website, and realising how 'shit' it is (the offer, structure, and returns) we wondered to ourselves, ‘why on earth would anyone fall for this rubbish?'. Offering 0.0%pa returns for first 2 years, and then sub 8%pa for the few years thereafter, in certain oversupplied SDA markets ... WTF?Anyway,  lets talk more in this episode about why SDA funds are all the rave at the moment in SDA at the moment.

This episode is a casual chat about Sydney, and how Minh and Debbie sees its growth in the biggest untapped market for SDA housing. Minh recently went down for 7 days in Sydney for Easter to meet up with 3 different SIL providers, and 2 different developers working in different parts of Sydney on SDA projects, or planned expansion into SDA accommodation. He discusses with Debbie the potential of short and medium term rollout of such SDA opportunities, and the team are certainly excited to be finally focusing on this metro location on the eastern seaboard of Australia.Specific locations discussed:EnfieldRockdaleBlakehurstBotanyCastle HillEven though many parts of Australia does see SDA becoming more of a balance or equilibrium status, our speakers dont feel this has happened in Sydney as of yet.

In this episode, Minh & Debbie discuss the macro state of the SDA market in Australia with respect to the supply and demand, particularly the fact that the huge undersupply over the past several years has shrunk, to the point that Australia-wide, supply is meeting demand.However not all is as it may seem when so much of the supply is not in the right areas. They both discuss the data analytics of the information across Australia, and then changing conditions given the phasing out of legacy homes and the incoming arrival of more pipeline SDA stock in the future.-------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the funding complexities of participants, aswell as the housing challenges in sourcing tenants into empty SDA houses, and the strategies to tenant these homes, either from an SDA or SIL perspective. The guest speakers joining Debbie our host, are: Kevin from Paramount Disability Homes, and Katalin from Hand in Hand Support Coordination.This discussion covers roles and responsibilities, challenges in securing SDA funding, leasing processes, market opportunities, and the importance of collaboration and trust among stakeholders. Additionally, it addresses challenges with SDA funding and approvals, steps for participants in legacy homes, and encouragement for SDA and SIL Providers to invest in purpose-built properties. Complexities in Securing SDA FundingIntellectual and psychosocial disabilities face difficulties in securing SDA funding under the current NDIS framework.Creative solutions are necessary, such as sourcing rental properties or working with different setups (e.g SDA and SIL providers being different organizations).Collaboration and TrustTrust is crucial in relationships between support coordinators, property owners, and providers.Ensuring that participants are matched with suitable housing that meets their needs and maintains a good relationship with residents and tenants.Market Opportunities and ChallengesMany investors in Melbourne have purchased SDA properties and require solutions for occupancy.Not all participants receive SDA funding, creating opportunities for investors to engage with support coordinators and providers.Challenges in Finding Tenants Investors often secure a first or anchor participant in a house, but struggle to find a second tenant.Running operations with only one participant is not feasible for SIL providers.A solution is to allow SIL providers to bring on a sole-funded client or a client funded for SIL but not SDA.Discussion on strategies to assist investors with completely empty houses.Having a second participant relieves financial stress from SIL providers.Long-term relationships between SIL and SDA providers are crucial.The Commission may approve short-term one-on-one extensions for up to six months to maintain occupancy.-------------------------------Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

Welcome to our next episode with Minh on a solo recording for the topic - SDA Anchor Tenant. We have never really spoken before about this very important topic - getting the first participant in as the first tenant into a SDA home.Minh talks about the importance of getting the first participant to move in, and the challenges in getting multiple participants thereafter once the house is enrolled and operational after the first tenant has moved in. He also talks about some ideas in getting the anchor tenant in, incentive wise that is, and how investors should expect the procurement process to rollout once the SDA dwellings is constructed.We cannot stress enough, the importance of engaging your SDA Provider early in the piece, and that means 6 months prior to completion. The reality is, it will take 6 to 9 months to procure the anchor tenant (participant no.1) and probably be another 6 months to get the second participant to move in and co-share. What no one ever tells investors, is that the first participant residing in the home, as anchor tenant, has all the power. If they don't like the second applicant applying, due to personality matching, they can veto and say "no, I refuse to live with this participant". A lot of luck is needed to find a matching participant who will become a second participant in an SDA home, that's for sure.---------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

This episode was from a recent trip in mid February down in Melbourne. Minh visits the office of Paramount Disability Homes, and spends 2 days with the boys in their office. Kevin and Jonathon sits down to talk about Box Hill, a hidden gem of a location for SDA demand with a very strong location factor too! Being an inner east suburb of Melbourne, this location offers a great opportunity for any investors who are able to secure an SDA dwelling to provide SDA accomodation to the many SDA participants residing in Group Homes. There is absolutely ZERO supply of SDA dwellings on the ground (small unit project coming in one year yes), and there would be about 60 group homes with SDA participants in them, with also a half a dozen homes with SDA participants ready to move out "today" if there were any SDAs available. Minh also asks Kevin the process of going from basic or group home SDA funding, to be converted to 3 resident funding in a house, to then the possibility of 1 resident funding for an apartment. This is particularly important to listen to as Minh brings a different perspective of hunting for brand new empty apartments which are currently available in the area, which could be assessed and slightly modified, then enrolled into the NDIS, as potentially one bedroom or two bedroom single residents for SDA accommodation.For anyone looking to invest in something in Box Hill, please give our team a call to discuss if any such opportunities exist - 1300 254 397 or email us via info@ndis.property-------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

In this episode, Debbie sits down with Kassy and Caitlan from our SHA team to discuss our Participant Procurement support service, how we work, what we do, who we connect with and the challenges in trying to find tenants for vacant SDA properties, that come to us (after completion).It's important to highlight that SHA is a procurement backup support service, and its role is to try and find SDA participants for the SDA provider. It does this by trying to nudge the process along and do what no one else will do …  to help find anew alternative SDA provider if the current one is not pulling its weight, or help assist a frustrated investor with finding ways to source a participant for the SDA Provider (and investor ultimately). SHA should not be seen as a threat to any Providers; it's meant to assist those investors with empty SDA dwellings (or potentially difficult-to-source tenants for housing). We often get approached by investors who are having trouble engaging the right provider, finding a new one, or finding an anchor tenant. This service was born out of the market demand of investors to get a second opinion on what the next steps are in finding a solution.------------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

Sit back and enjoy a deep discussion with Zoe Norton, founder of BLUE WING CARE PROFESSIONALS, a care support business operating for 7 years within the NDIS across Sydney and Brisbane. Below are some of the topics covered in this office meeting recording in our Brisbane office with Minh from our team:1. The process of transitioning participants from hospitals to community housing involves multiple stakeholders, including therapists, social workers, and NDIS consultants, creating delays and challenges. 2. The NDIS funding approval process is lengthy and complex, often requiring updated reports and causing significant delays in participant care. 3. The role of recovery coaches and support coordinators is crucial in managing psychosocial support, but they face challenges due to funding cuts and the need for 24/7 availability. 4. The potential shift from support coordinators to navigators raises concerns about job security and the need for qualifications within the NDIS framework. 5. The requirement for NDIS providers to be registered aims to reduce fraud and improve service quality, but it may lead to many unregistered providers exiting the market. 6. The inefficiencies within the NDIA, such as staff turnover and inexperience, contribute to delays in payments and service delivery, impacting both providers and participants. 7. The financial strain on NDIS providers is exacerbated by compliance costs, delayed payments, and reduced profit margins, affecting their ability to deliver services. 8. Blue Wing Care Professionals aims to expand nationally, focusing on SDA and SIL housing to support participants transitioning from hospitals or living with elderly parents. 9. The potential for collaboration between developers, investors, and experienced consultants like Zoe  can enhance the delivery of SDA housing and support services. 10. The need for a more efficient and scrutinized NDIS system is recognized, with hopes for future improvements to benefit both providers and participants.------------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

In this episode, we welcome back Kevin Chen, from Paramount Disability Homes. Kevin comes onto our show to talk to Minh about SDA "Change of Circumstances", which is a process of getting a participant's plan or funding, to be amended from what was originally approved, to a more appropriate outcome.This is an important topic as it gives our listeners an insight into the process of getting the right category and funding for SDA housing accomodation (or usually the SIL supports as needed), to suit the recommended dwelling needed. This is how it is applicable to our world of SDA, and hence why this topic is discussed on this podcast for our SDA investor listeners.Kevin also talks about the marketing and procurement process of partcipants for SDA housing, and the recommended timeframe to engage an SDA provider, in a perfect world, and the timeframe to engage in a 'not so' perfect world - given that many participants applying for SDA housing, do not have the correct funding. This is a really in depth looking at the mechanics and logistics behind the scenes of an SDA Provider operations, and we hope you enjoy this episode.------------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.au------------------------------------------------------Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

In this episode, Debbie looks at the SDA data for the Byron and Tweed areas of the northern NSW coast.For a couple of years, we have been aware of the undersupply of quality SDA homes in the area. Given the challenges of developing SDA in the Tweed and Byron regions, primarily the cost and availability of suitable land and sites, it's unsurprising that so few new SDA homes have come to the market. There are only 30 New-Build homes and 11 properties (83 places in total) in the pipeline for the entire Richmond-Tweed SA4. However, the majority of enrolled SDA properties are older style Legacy and Basic homes that do not meet SDA design guidelines and are not fit-for-purpose.Listen on to find out more...------------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

This episode highlights the continuing positive market sentiment for SDA, even with recent lending changes which will impact future investors. It covers the importance of investor awareness regarding lending criteria, and the growing trend towards metro apartment living (we are seeing) given postcode lending restrictions. Data and analytics are crucial for informed investment decisions, and this is thoroughly discussed when considering trends over the years.*Market sentiment on SDA*The market sentiment for SDA remains positive despite some challenges. There is a shift towards more institutional investment and international interest. However, changes in lending criteria have affected some investors' ability to secure loans. We focus on specific factors influencing market sentiment, such as recent changes in lending criteria and their impact on SDA investments, while also considering future trends up to 2025. This approach provides a clearer framework for discussion and analysis for all stakeholders in SDA.*Investor awareness and realistic expectations*Many investors, especially smaller ones, are not fully aware of changes in lending criteria. Realism in investment returns is emphasized, with a conservative approach to earnings estimates to manage expectations. *Lending criteria and blacklisted postcodes*New lending criteria focus on proximity to metro areas, affecting regional investments. Blacklisted postcodes indicate areas with high exposure and potential oversupply, impacting investors' ability to sell properties. *Trends in SDA housing* There is a trend towards apartment living in metro areas due to lending changes and participant preferences. This shift is attracting institutional investors. *Data and analytics in SDA investment*Data is crucial for understanding market demand and supply, but it must be complemented with local insights and high-quality product offerings to attract participants.  ----------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsSDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSend us a textSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

Welcome to our first episode for 2025. In this episode, Minh and Rob sit down to talk about geopolitics & dollars - that's right, AUD & USD, Trump, Interest Rates, Inflation and the Australian economy. Specifically, how do all these topics relate back to us as consumers in Australia? How does the Aussie dollar impact upon the RBA's decision making with interest rates, and when or if the rates will drop for mortgage borrowers? What will happen to the property market if interest rates go down in 2025? They talk about Trump's tariffs that he keeps on talking about, to help the US economy, and how this action will impact China, and then onto Australia as a resource economy. This is definitely a deep dive into economics, and they try to keep it as basic as possible to help listeners understand how these topic impacts the Australian property market, and the SDA market albeit briefly. Whilst neither Rob nor Minh are experts in the field of economics, they are both well-versed on the financial world and have some interesting thoughts on what may lie ahead for the Aussie property market in 2025 and beyond.------------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

Distribution of Disabilities among SDA Participants - The biggest category of SDA participants is intellectual disability, which is 48% of all participants. Intellectual disability includes schizophrenia, low IQ, and behavioural issues. This category is growing aswell within the SDA sector.- The majority of SDA participants fall into a few key disability categories, with intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, and autism being the most prevalent. - Cerebral palsy accounts for 12% of SDA participants, and autism accounts for 11%. Cerebral palsy participants require fully accessible or high physical homes.  - Autism is diagnosed early, and many children in NDIS have autism. - Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is 8% and Down syndrome is 7% of participants. ABI can result from accidents and requires HPS or robust homes. - Psychosocial disability is 4% and often associated with robust housing. Psychosocial issues include alcohol, drugs, and societal problems. - There is a pressing need for more SDA housing, specifically robust homes across regional Australia Challenges in SDA Housing Approvals and Funding - The slow approval process and funding limitations are significant challenges in meeting the housing needs of SDA participants. - The mismatch between available SDA housing types and participant needs requires further discussion to develop strategies for better alignment. This issue is critical as it directly affects the quality of life for participants who may not have access to suitable housing options that meet their specific needs.- The slow approval process for new SDA funding poses a risk to meeting future housing demands. With the number of participants expected to grow, this bottleneck could lead to significant delays in providing necessary housing, impacting both current and future participants.------------------------------------------------------SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode of SDA Unlocked, Debbie walks us through the data for the SA3 of Darebin-North in Melbourne North East and explains what the data is telling us in terms of current supply, future supply and the overall demand for SDA participants in the area. Preston, along with neighbouring suburbs in Melbourne North-East, and those in nearby statistical areas of Melbourne Inner and Melbourne North-West look to have a potential significant undersupply of quality New Build SDA dwellings in the short term and a fast-growing demand from participants with SDA funding, indicating this is one of the better parts of Melbourne to be considering SDA developments.Want to find out more about the SDA supply and demand data or to speak to us about the feasibility of an SDA development in this area or anywhere else, reach out to us to order a data report, or to engage our SDA Advisory Services team on the details below.---------------------------------------------------SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

Investors are moving away from SDA house and land packages being marketed across Australia by "selling agents" due to lack of stock, lack of good SDA product to invest in, and high entry costs specifically to SMSF buyers, which have become a big market over the years.  There's a growing trend toward investing in apartments in middle and inner-ring suburbs, and here's why:Higher yields and quicker availability make completed or nearly completed apartments appealing.Rising construction costs have pushed SDA property entry prices to $1–2 million, while limited desirable stock often requires knockdowns or land redevelopment.Why are apartments a smart SDA investment?Affordability and convenience: Apartments are closer to services and eliminate risks tied to construction delays or cost overruns.Lower upfront costs: A 10% deposit secures a contract, reducing holding expenses since there are no costs during construction.Safer option: Lower risk of builder insolvency makes apartments more secure.Capital growth vs. cash flow in SDAFocus on cash flow over capital growth. SDA properties provide consistent CPI-linked income and yields of 9–11%. Their value is income-driven rather than reliant on traditional growth.Risks of oversupplied SDA areasAvoid oversupplied regions, like Melbourne's western suburbs, which face tenant shortages and lending challenges. Opportunities exist in undersupplied areas, but careful selection is key.By choosing the right area and property type, SDA investments can be both lucrative and secure.--------------------------------------------SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, Minh & Deb sit with Matt for the final time on our podcast show. Matt has been on this show from the start, about 2 years and 9 months ago, and we chat about Matt's 3.5 years with NDIS Property Australia as he leaves the company to follow his dream job in Sydney in the Cyber Security sector.Whilst we are very sad to see Matt go, we are so happy with his contributions to our company and to our clients; it was good to review his time with us and chat about challenges, highlights and memories he'll be taking away from his time with us. As our first employee, it is interesting that Matt's journey with NPA has in some ways run parallel to the SDA industry itself which has seen rapid changes and growth over the last few years.Farewell Matt, "Ce'st La Vie" as they say in France, and if your new Sydney gig doesn't go as planned, you'll always be welcomed back with open arms here in Brisbane.Please take on board what he has to say to all our listeners, new and old, and we hope that his pearls of wisdom does make an impact on our listeners SDA journey moving ahead.SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, repeat guest speaker Paul Grant from Axis Lending joins us once again, this time to discuss recent changes to the lending requirements for NDIS loans.In October, the major lender came out with a bunch of new lending rules effectively excluding around 75% of borrowers from being able to qualify for a loan to invest in SDA housing.There are various reasons for this, and Paul talks us through some of these reasons and what the new lending rules are, including several postcodes around Australia that have been banned (to be reviewed in March).If you are looking at an SDA property investment, and wish to get a loan from the main lender, who up to this point has financed around 95% of all NDIS loans, listen on to understand whether you will still qualify, or not, and what some alternatives may be.SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, Minh & Matt dive into a general comparison between traditional units and houses in the Australian property market and how the changing effects of the building industry may influence financial decision-making between these two options. The purpose of this episode is to show the mindset of normal investors in these assets are almost identical to SDA investors for houses and units. They explore the key features of units and houses, including their typical costs, maintenance requirements, and investment potential, while also discussing how these attributes relate to investor perception. Join the guys as they break down perceptions, what investors consider and how they may differ or be similar in the SDA property market.-------------------------------------------SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, Minh & Debbie have a conversation around an alternative 'NDIS Housing' option, Co-Living Accessible Homes, suitable to be rented by SIL Providers under a Head Lease arrangement.With the rapidly changing SDA market and with many investors being priced out of the market, we see this as an alternative product for investors still wishing to get into the NDIS property space with an ethical investment, but avoiding the higher risks associated with SDA.Whilst the income on these types of investments will not match the potential of SDA homes, this investment would offer a far less risky investment as these packages, would be priced similarly to regular house & land packages, be easier to finance and likely be offered with a Head Lease from a SIL Provider.Listen on to understand more about this investment offering that we expect to have available for investors within the coming weeks.LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!--------------------SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, Minh and Debbie discuss the media release of 16th September from Bill Shorten MP, Minister for the NDIS regarding the mandatory requirement for Platform Providers, Support Coordinators and SIL Providers to be registered.They look at the media release itself along with comments from industry professionals regarding the impact of this implementation.Whilst the new registration model is not directly related to SDA, SIL Providers are an inherent part of an SDA Participant's life so there is an important connection. We welcome the requirement for SIL providers to be registered, however, it will be interesting to see how the NDIA plans to implement this requirement given the significant cost and long time frames currently being experienced for providers wishing to become registered with the NDIA.--------------------SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsSDA MASTERCLASShttps://ndis.property/eventsFOLLOW US ON:LinkedIn InstagramFacebookTwitterEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, Debbie Ian & Rob come back from Bali, to tell us about their visit to Bali Indonesia, to review the opportunity that Bali presents for international investors. We speak of property investment and fractional investing into this paradise location, and having spent many months researching into this opportunity, our team is now ready to present this to our NDIS potential investors as a complementary product to consider, but more so for those who feel that SDA is not for them, and are seeking something different - low entry cost & high yield. Given the "realistic" potential of 17-20%pa, based off the high demand of tourists aswell, we certainly see that the minimum investment of circa $40,000 AUD into a fractional allocation as a LOW RISK & HIGH RETURN proposal. Our team are now taking calls and discussing with investors all their curious questions on this new alternative property investment which is very high yield.  During construction, your investment returns you 8%pa (paid quarterly).Listen to this very detailed podcast from our team who went in person to investigate this massive opportunity of a hidden gem.Conservative Returns - 13 to 15%pa Realistic Returns - 17 to 20%pa (75% occupancy)Unlikely Max Returns - 20 to 25%paUpcoming Webinar18th September - BALI Fractional Opportunity (by our Bali Partners) --------------------SDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsSDA MASTERCLASShttps://ndis.property/eventsFOLLOW US ON:LinkedIn InstagramFacebookTwitterEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auGOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.

In this episode, Minh, Debbie and Denise from our Research/Feasibility team discuss a new service offering for which we are seeing an increasing demand.Property owners and developers are coming to us to get advice on what is the most feasible SDA development to do on a site they're considering.Property feasibility and financial feasibility are related concepts often considered during the assessment of a real estate or business project.Property FeasibilityProperty feasibility refers to the analysis conducted to determine whether a specific piece of land or property is suitable for development or a particular use. This involves evaluating various factors such as:• Zoning regulations: Are the legal land uses allowed on the property aligned with the intended project?• Physical attributes: Can the property physically accommodate the proposed development (e.g., size, shape, topography)?• Environmental constraints: Are there any environmental issues such as flood risk, soil conditions, or protected species that would limit development?• Access and infrastructure: Does the property have sufficient access to roads, utilities (water, electricity, sewage), and other necessary infrastructure?Financial FeasibilityFinancial feasibility refers to whether a project or investment is financially viable, i.e., whether it will generate enough income or returns to justify the costs. It involves:• Cost analysis: Estimating the costs of development, including land acquisition, construction, labour, materials, permits, and other expenses.• Revenue projections: Estimating the potential income from the project, such as rental income, sales revenue, or returns on investment.• Profitability analysis: Determining if the project will be profitable by comparing costs with projected income or returns (e.g., through financial metrics such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), or payback period).• Financing considerations: Assessing the ability to secure financing (e.g., loans, investors) and the cost of that financing (interest rates, repayment terms).Combined Feasibility StudyIn practice, both property and financial feasibility are often evaluated together as part of a larger feasibility study. This study helps investors, developers, or businesses decide whether to proceed with a project, modify the proposal, or abandon it altogether.The team talk about what is involved in the project feasibility advice we provide and how important it is for anyone looking at developing an SDA project on a site they have, or are looking to acquire, to understand all the potential options and to have a detailed analysis on the pros and cons, costs and ROIs of the many options likely available.SDA MASTERCLASShttps://ndis.property/eventsFOLLOW US ON:LinkedIn InstagramFacebookTwitterFor any podcast related queries or suggestions, please contact our podcast team via podcast@ndis.propertywww.ndispropertyaustralia.com.au
