Show Notes

In this episode, Debbie & Matt discuss a submission from individuals and organisations in the SDA sector to the Minister for the NDIS Bill Shorten.

This submission suggests that recommendation 9.4 of the NDIS Review Final Report, which was released in December 2023, not be accepted by the government.

The recommendation was 
"The National Disability Insurance Agency should remove the Improved Liveability category for new Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) developments, and review the remaining SDA categories and associated Design Standards to evaluate their effectiveness."

We have covered the issues around this recommendation in previous episodes back in December after the review was published, and there has been no end of discussion within the industry on the negative outcomes were this recommendation to be implemented.

The submission, put together by Greg Barry from SDA Services (a past guest speaker here) and James Brown of SDA+ along with 65 other SDA sector collaborators covers 5 detailed and very relevant points that the recommendation not be accepted.

Listen on for an overview of the submission that we hope will be taken up by Minister Shorten, essentially enabling more stability and confidence in the SDA sector.
