As the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) continues to expand, the demand for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is growing significantly. This increase presents a unique opportunity for investors looking to make a meaningful impact while securing a stable return. At NDIS Loan Experts, we have over 15 years of experience in niche lending, providing tailored financial solutions for those interested in NDIS property investment.
Understanding NDIS Property Investment
NDIS property investment involves creating suitable housing for people with disability. These properties, known as SDA, are specially designed to meet the unique needs of NDIS participants, ensuring they have access to safe, comfortable, and functional living spaces. On top of rental income, investors receive SDA payments, meaning the overall return on NDIS property is generally higher than traditional residential rental properties.
The Increasing Demand for SDA
Long-Term Projections
A 20-year projection model released by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) estimates that by 2042, at an average growth rate of 2.4% per annum, 36,684 SDA homes will be required. This significant increase highlights the need for more SDA developments across Australia.
To view up to date demand data, take a look at the NDIS’s SDA Demand Data.
Growth in SDA Eligibility and Funding
Recent data shows a significant increase in the number of NDIS participants eligible for SDA. As of 31st March 2024, SDA-eligible participants grew by 12% annually over two years to 22,022. Correspondingly, there has been a 32% annual growth in total SDA payments over the last two years, rising to $290 million from $166 million. Average SDA payments per participant have increased by 15% per year also.
Benefits of Investing in NDIS Properties
Social Impact
Investing in NDIS properties offers investors an opportunity to make positive social impact. Investors contribute to the well-being of people with disability by providing high-quality housing, aligning with socially responsible investing.
High Demand and Low Vacancy Rates
The demand for SDA outpaces supply, resulting in low vacancy rates for NDIS properties. The mismatch with supply and demand helps to reduce vacancy risk, leading to consistent occupancy and steady rental income. With the ageing population and increasing awareness of disability rights, this demand is projected to grow further in the coming years.
