EPISODE 128 - Sydney 2023 SDA Seminar Trip
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Debbie & Minh bring back Josh from our office and introduce newcomer to the team, Rohan Birmingham. Rohan is from Bowral, NSW, and is up for 10 days to meet the entire team and see how our organisation works in person. We are so excited to bring on an experienced property advisor who is as passionate as we are, and eager to jump into the SDA property space to assist with all the investors wishing to enter the SDA sector.
Today, we talk about the trip last week where all 4 of us met up in Sydney for the NDISDA seminar event on SDA, hosted by Lynn Gabriel. There were 6 guest speakers who spoke all about 'SDA technical nerdy stuff' to the group of 40 or so attendees, which was then followed up by an SDA networking event as well.
Topics covered were:
- Valuations
- Insurance for SDA Property Owners
- Challenges re finding SDA tenants and filling vacancies
- Participants' rights and separation of Housing and Care
- National Construction Code: impacts on SDA Housing given the changes
- Issues surrounding current SDA Design Standards
We hope this summary of the recent event in Sydney shows our listeners that there is so much technical and evolving changes happening in the NDIS, and that you should always work and consult with, professionals who are always expanding their knowledge and experience in this new space called NDIS property.
