In this episode, we welcome back Tania from Tania Gomez Consulting.Tania chats with Debbie about the recent NDIS Pricing Arrangements & Price Limits (applicable as of 1st July 2025) and why there is so much concern within the NDIS community over financial viability and quality of service provision following a lack of insufficient pricing increases and in some cases price cuts for certain sectors, particularly Support Coordination, Plan Management and Allied Health operators in rural/remote areas.Support CoordinationLimited Increases: Only Level 1 Support Coordination (applicable to a small minority of participants) received a price increase, linked to minimum wage changes. The major categories, Levels 2 and 3, saw no meaningful increases, despite escalating business costs (inflation, super, compliance).Financial Pressure: Ongoing price freezes have not kept pace with rising costs. Providers report increased stress, challenges in retaining qualified staff, and, in some regions, service withdrawal by major agencies.  The release of the 2025–26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements & Price Limits has prompted significant concern within the NDIS provider community. While some pricing categories have been indexed, critical areas such as Support Coordination, Plan Management, and Allied Health—particularly in rural and remote regions—face a mix of price freezes, reductions, and withdrawal of rural loadings. These decisions are fuelling anxiety over the financial viability of providers and the future quality of services offered to participants. Sector-wide anxiety stems from price caps failing to align with rising operational costs, with some sectors facing outright funding reductions or regional loading losses. Listen to hear Tania's take on what this all means for the sector.---------------------------------SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.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, Minh & Debbie discuss an open letter from Katalin Jakus (Hand in Hand Support Coordination) to Ministers, outlining critical NDIS concerns:Unethical Referral Fee PracticesSome NDIS providers pay referral fees to hospitals, government staff, and Support Coordinators.This practice, originating before the NDIS legislation, is described as unethical and undermines participants' best interests.These incentives skew discharge decisions, limit provider choice, and risk care quality.Consequences include "double-dipping" (charging twice for the same service), distorted competition, and prioritising profits over participant needs.Conflict of Interest RisksParticipants may face biased service options, undisclosed conflicts, or monopolised supports (e.g., one provider controlling coordination, plan management, and housing).Support Coordinators providing direct services may prioritise business interests over participant welfare.Calls for Stronger SafeguardsWhile recent NDIS conflict-of-interest guidelines are a step forward, the letter urges targeted action against referral fees. The goal is to ensure decisions prioritise participant care- not financial incentives - and to improve sector-wide accountability.[Read the letter here]--------------------------------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 4th instalment of our popular 'Ask Us Anything' series, we dive deep into an email from Andy, a builder from Adelaide who is a regular podcast listener, and has SDA build ideas for his son. We answer his questions and explore his theories. His questions sparked a discussion about the realities of SDA development, from financial considerations to design best practices, and even his theories on where the SDA market is headed.Below are some of the points of discussion in this episode:Andy's initial design concept involves two side-by-side dwellings, each intended for two participants, with individual spaces and shared breakout and care rooms. However, the hosts clarified that it will likely end up being one resident per house, and Andy further explained his dual-key design idea, where each house has a main front door entry leading to two separate dwelling entries within the building, essentially two villas inside one house.There is a specific safety requirement for a lockable kitchen, using a nib wall to allow exclusion when necessary (e.g., when cooking with hot water). This is seen as essential for some robust participants, though market acceptance and design assessment may vary.The idea of separating the carer's bedroom and office into two rooms is discussed, with consensus that more space for carers is beneficial.High, non-climbable fencing is required for robust participants to prevent absconding.Post-certification changes can improve property functionality for care teams.The dual-key/dual-occupancy design raises concerns about compliance, as participants are supposed to have full access to the entire house. This may conflict with NDIS or design assessment requirements.-------------------------------------------------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, Minh chats with Tanisha Simunic, an SDA Assessor, accredited Access Consultant and OT, about her work, background and her view of the SDA world.Tanisha's Professional Background and RoleTanisha is an accredited access consultant, registered occupational therapist, and SDA assessor with nearly a decade of experience in the SDA sector. Her career began in occupational therapy, where an interest in home modifications and architecture led her to access consulting. She now specialises in helping designers and builders create accessible spaces, blending her expertise in disability, function, and environmental design.The SDA Assessment ProcessThe process starts when a client submits floor plans for an SDA dwelling. The assessor reviews them against SDA guidelines, providing feedback until compliance is achieved. Once approved, a provisional certification is submitted to the NDIA, giving the client ~2 years to build. After construction, a final inspection ensures adherence to the certified plans before NDIA enrolment.Concerns About SDA Design GuidelinesMany assessors doubt the future of SDA housing due to unclear design guidelines. Confusion persists over what constitutes a functional SDA dwelling, with reports of enrolled properties being unsuitable for participants. A guideline overhaul is widely seen as necessary.[LINKEDIN PROFILE]-------------------------------------------------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.

Goodbye Postcode Restrictions ... & Hello Distance Restrictions! Big changes (again) are reshaping NDIS lending landscape, and in this episode, Debbie sits down with Paul Grant from Axis Lending to unpack the latest finance requirements for NDIS property investing, from their perspective as a Mortgage Manager.This episode only relates to Origin, the largest wholesale NDIS lender across Australia, and this information discussed doesn't apply to other lenders in this SDA space.Late last year in 2024 we saw significant tightening of eligibility criteria, including new income thresholds ($250K+ household income or $2.5M+ net assets for "sophisticated investors") and geographic restrictions. But as of this week (23rd June 2025), the rules have evolved again - with major implications for investors and participants alike.Key changes include:✔️ Postcode restrictions replaced by distance-based rules (50km from Sydney CBD, 25km from other capitals)✔️ Lending based on 100% alternate use value in major cities (80% in larger regional centres)✔️ Stronger focus on owner-occupiers and families, who may now qualify for better terms - possibly even standard home loans✔️ Stricter SMSF requirements, including mandatory upfront Statements of Financial Advice✔️ Compulsory Due Diligence reports for all purchasesWhy does this all matter? These changes reflect a maturing market - one that prioritises sustainable investments while ensuring quality housing for participants. While investor activity has slowed, the focus on sophisticated buyers and owner-occupiers points to a more stable future. Tune in as Debbie and Paul discuss in detail the new lending rules.If anyone wants to reach out to Paul Grant directly, his email address is as follows: pgrant@axislending.com.auOtherwise click here to review the Axis Lending website, -------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveSend 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, Tom Krawiec explores the art and science of maximizing forage production by grazing pastures at just the right time—the “sweet spot”—before forages enter the reproductive stage. Speaking from over 20 years of careful record-keeping and hands-on experience, Tom challenges some widely held assumptions in the grazing community and offers a compelling case for a more nuanced approach to pasture recovery and soil health. Drawing on insights from soil biologist Dr. Kris Nichols and grazing expert Jim Gerrish, Tom argues that long rest periods may actually reduce soil biological activity and forage yields—despite common belief. Instead, he urges graziers to focus on maintaining swards in a vegetative state, even if it means starting the grazing season before every paddock is “ready.”

Today's guest is Melissa Duge Spiers, author of the soon to be released, Holy Disobedience: A Survivor's Journey from the Church that Betrayed Her—a book that does just that.Melissa's story is one of survival, revelation, and ultimately, moving forward into real life. Raised in the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church, an enormous Christian fundamentalist sect that exists under the radar despite a larger worldwide membership (22M+) than the Mormons or Southern Baptists, she was taught to obey without question, live under rigid purity culture, and conform to a system that demanded silence in the face of abuse. Her world shattered when a family member became the center of an abuse scandal—someone enabled and protected by the very church that shaped her childhood.Her memoir is not just about leaving a high-control religious environment; it's about the struggle that comes after—the long, painful process of deconstructing indoctrination, unlearning deeply ingrained beliefs, and reclaiming one's identity. In sharing her journey, Melissa has become an advocate for those who have left the SDA church, many of whom have faced similar abuses. Through her powerful online presence as “The Glory Whole” on TikTok and Instagram, she has built a community of ex-Adventists and religious trauma survivors, giving voice to the often-overlooked stories of those who have suffered in silence.If you enjoy listening to the show, please consider heading over to apple podcasts to rate and review us.

Join us for this much-needed follow-up on Seventh-day Adventism.While our initial series focused on the history of Ellen G. White and the late Dr. Walter Martin's interactions with SDA leadership when he wrote Kingdom of the Cults, this will be a theological examination of Seventh-day Adventism and its claims.Is Seventh-day Adventism a non-Christian cult or just a misunderstood denomination?Our guest, Myles, is a former third-generation Adventist who runs the popular channel Answering Adventism and will be examining its theological claims by way of its primary sources to see if it passes the sniff test of orthodoxy.In Part 1, we chat with Myles about what it was like growing up in the SDA church, what caused him to eventually leave, and the complexities of navigating the language barrier when it comes to Adventism.SUPPORT OUR WORK!SHOP OUR MERCH STORE!Check out Myles' YouTube HERE!
