EPISODE 139 - SDA PRICE REVIEW (1/4): First Impressions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Here it is folks, the long awaited 5 year SDA price review.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has released the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Pricing Review 2023-2024.
The Review was undertaken to evaluate the impact of current SDA prices on supply and demand of SDA housing and to set new SDA prices to guide market investment in areas that will most benefit people with disability over the next five years.
The SDA Pricing Review was about making sure SDA eligible NDIS participants receive the supports they need and to ensure pricing reflects what is needed for investment to support NDIS participants into the future.
This is the first of four instalments, with 5 of our staff sitting down to discuss the changes, and the ramifications to investors moving forwards. This episode doesn't dig too deep yet, as it's only the 'First Impressions' so far on the first day back at work since the announcement on 16th June 2023.
Thank you to Heather, Minh, Debbie, Matt and Dhanika for sitting down with short notice to give their feedback on this major announcement by the NDIS.
NOTE - the new changes to the SDA PRICES are effective as of July 1 2023, but implemented from October 1 2023, and made retrospective back to July 1 for payments to investors. The NDIA want to allow a 3 month transition period to 'get all their systems lined up' etc
