Entering The Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Market
Weighing up entering the SDA market? Part way through the journey? Already in motion? We’ve got the knowledge you need to plan, deliver and operate a successful SDA.
Why take this course?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is an essential permanent housing solution for people with high support needs, promoting both safety and independence. Investing in SDA is an attractive proposition for many – and a much-needed solution for the disability sector. But unfortunately, to date, the SDA market has been highly complex and challenging, making it hard to reach successful outcomes.
But there’s some good news amongst it all. We’ve had a renewed interest in SDA thanks to the generous price increases this year. But that’s left questions from those looking to enter (or stay) in the market. What even is SDA? What should I build, and where? And what challenges can I expect along the way? This workshop will get you started, build your confidence in the SDA market, and shape your view on whether the SDA market is right for you.
Take this workshop on its own or as a follow on from our SDM – Implications for Home and Living.

Brent Woolgar
Brent is a bona fide master of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) detail, which considering he is an engineer is not surprising. Brent has built his reputation as one of the sector's leading experts in SDA with involvement in over 50 SDA related projects to date, ranging from parent groups, small organisations, large national organisations, state governments, community housing providers, for-profit investors, developers and many financial institutions. What Brent doesn’t know about SDA is probably the stuff the NDIA don’t know themselves yet. Brent brings a unique skill set to NDIS Housing, with over 25 years consulting experience in accessible design as well as a lived experience as the proud father of teenage identical twins, one of whom has cerebral palsy.
