Demand for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)

It requires an understanding of which NDIS participants with SDA are looking for what sort of SDA (design and building type) in what locations matched against the available (and emerging) SDA supply. The first step is to consider the regional SDA data published by the NDIS on their Data Downloads website (https://data.ndis.gov.au/data-downloads).

NOT FOR PROFIT PARTNERSHIPS AND MERGERS: CONCEPTS AND CHECKLISTS
The Coronavirus Pandemic is both speeding up change and adding pressure to the operations and leadership of Not of Profits. These pressure are likely to continue well into a world where the Pandemic is brought under control. Increased demands on services, reduced funding and generally a changed and tougher operating environment may cause those in the leadership of not for profits (both Boards and in management) to consider if it is time for more partnerships or indeed mergers

Household sizes: Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) vs Australian community
In the ongoing debate about group homes (or group houses) it is sometimes raised that there are larger household sizes in the broader Australian community. A comparison between the size of registered SDA and the size of households in the broader Australia population reveals that larger houses do exist but in much small proportions.
