In Part 2 of this 'Breaking News' release, we have the return of our 5 staff sitting down again to continue discussing the changes and the ramifications for investors moving forwards.
ICYMI, The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has released the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Pricing Review 2022-2023. 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.
Topics covered include - Impact on Location Factor, Build Costs, new Sprinkler Standards, other Ongoing Costs, GST impact on SDA incomes, with also the Winners & Losers of these 'Recommended Changes' which will come into affect as of 1st July 2023, but implemented as of 1st October 2023, and made retrospective (aka backdated) to July 1.
Thank you to Heather, Minh, Debbie, Matt and Dhanika for getting together at short notice to analyse, discuss and provide feedback on this major announcement by the NDIS.
