Supporting SDA Investors and Developers

Our consultants at SDA Consulting specialise in assisting SDA developers, architects, building designers, builders, and investors in creating desirable, high-quality Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) that complies with relevant building legislation and the Specialist Disability Accommodation Design Standards. Our expertise ensures regulatory compliance during the development processes, and our experience results in a quality product that participants demand.

Expert Guidance at Every Stage

If you’re an investor looking at design opportunities or a builder ready to construct SDA, our team of Accredited Assessors and our property management team (registered SDA Providers) can guide you throughout the process.

Site Selection

Location is at the heart of an SDA project, so selecting the optimal location can make a big difference in project success. We assist in identifying and evaluating sites based on our experience, such as SDA demand data for the area and its expected level of compliance.

Design & Compliance

The quality and usability of the participants’ SDA designs are crucial to the success of SDA developments. Leveraging our disability access and SDA compliance expertise, we work alongside developers, architects, and builders to ensure every design meets the strict SDA Design Standards, Building Code of Australia and referenced Australian Standards. Our process includes:

• Design reviews focused on creating functional, accessible, and comfortable spaces tailored to the needs of NDIS participants.
• Issuance of Provisional Certification upon the completion of the design phase.
• Issuance of Final Certification upon the completion of the build phase.
• We also provide advice on all relevant accessibility and fire safety standards, ensuring the safety of occupants who may have limited ability to evacuate independently.

Fire Safety Standards

Fire safety is a critical element for us. We ensure that all SDA developments meet the requirements of the fire safety codes and standards to protect vulnerable occupants at all times. Our team reviews the plans and specifications while working with consultants and builders to deliver properties designed to meet emergency preparedness standards.

 

Full Support During Construction

Our team provides comprehensive inspections and support during construction from project inception to handover. This ensures that your property meets SDA requirements at every stage, resulting in a successful final certification. Our services include:

• Ongoing on-site inspections during key construction phases include frame inspections, rough-in inspections, and concrete inspections when required.
• Final Certification is issued upon construction completion to ensure SDA compliance standards are met.

 

Post-Construction Support

Our commitment doesn’t end when construction is complete. For our clients who are not Registered SDA Providers, we can assist with the following steps to bring your SDA property to life, including:

• Participant Placement: Connecting you with eligible NDIS participants who are perfectly matched to your property.
• SIL Provider Partnerships: Identifying Supported Independent Living (SIL) partners to manage and support your development effectively.

 

Ongoing Property Management for Long-Term Success

SDA Consulting provides end-to-end property management to ensure strong returns, regulatory compliance, and lasting value. Our ongoing services include:

• Meeting ongoing regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Managing the property needs to create a safe, welcoming, high-quality living environment.
• Offering “Forever Homes” for NDIS participants, fostering continuity and a sense of community.

 

Transform Lives While Achieving Results

By partnering with SDA Consulting, you’re not only creating highly desirable properties but also empowering NDIS participants to live more independent and fulfilling lives. Your investment in SDA isn’t just a business decision—it’s a commitment to a brighter, more inclusive future.

 

Do Investors, Developers or Designers need to be registered as SDA providers?

Investors, developers, designers, builders, and owners of SDA dwellings don’t need to register as SDA providers themselves. The SDA provider is the formal service provider under the NDIS and is responsible for compliance with all mandatory SDA requirements. In most cases, they act under a Head Lease to manage properties. Provider registration is only required if they choose to manage the properties themselves.
