On this episode of SDA Unlocked,  Debbie gives our listeners an in-depth breakdown of the Gold Coast SDA supply and demand.

EPISODE:
In this episode, Jess from our office sits down with Minh again, to talk about a very 'complicated topic'. This topic is about summarising Section 13 for claiming SDA income where "the lesser of rule" is used in determining the value of the SDA income per Participant in the SDA dwelling. This is specifically known as:

Section 13 of NDIS Pricing Arrangements for Specialist Disability Accomodation 2022-23 (Released March 2023)

When claiming payment for SDA from an individual participant's plan, a provider is only able to claim the lesser of:

1. The maximum per participant price for which the dwelling is enrolled; 
2. The amount of SDA funding for which a participant has been assessed (i.e the amount to the SDA in their plan

This is an unknown rule which is part of the SDA PRICE GUIDE which 99% of investors are unaware of (unless disclosed by your SDA Provider) as it is rarely made aware of to investors. The SDA providers should know this, and investors 'may not know this'.

Unfortunately, investors are only told about this when they have engaged the SDA Provider. Because they normally engage the Provider once the property has been purchased (or built), this Section 13 rule is unfortunately not discussed with investors (if at all) until very far down the track. We are doing our bit in this podcast to summarise it in a nutshell, to let our listeners know about this 'grey little area'.

Let's use a practical example, to better explain to you, to better understand the numbers. If an SDA Provider enrolls a property for 2 SDA Participants only, and an investor sees that the maximum potential SDA Funding for an IL Participant is $77,000pa (SDA & RRC income), it doesn't necessarily mean that the property investor will get $154,000 (77,000 x 2). There are many other potential lower income amounts which will apply to the outcome of the investment. See below for the variations we refer to:

Example Only - IMPROVED LIVEABILITY 'potential outcomes'

IL - Apartment 2 bedroom (1 resident) ... not relevant in podcast
IL - Apartment 1 bedroom (1 resident) ... not relevant in podcast
IL - House 4 bedrooms (3 residents) - $56,000pa
IL - House 3 bedrooms (2 residents) - $77,000pa
IL - Villa 3 bedrooms (2 residents) - $43,000pa
IL - Villa 2 bedroom (1 resident) - $65,000pa

In this episode, Minh and Jess discuss the combinations of the potential IL participants, coming into a 3 bed 3 bath 2 car 'SDA house', which will have OOA + 2 IL p

Sabina Silwal (Managing Director) from Direct Care Assistance joins Minh to discuss Direct Care Assistance. They operate in the Melbourne area, and can provide a wide range of services to cover Participant needs. We thought it would be nice to open up the show to a Care Provider, who has reached out to our office, to ask to be on the podcast and talk about their services in the community. This is a good way for our listeners to understand more about the provision of support from Support Workers to Participants.

Debbie and Minh sit down together with Charlotte, in Part 2 of this three-part series (Part 1 - Episode 76) to discuss what sets us apart from other  NDIS property advisory groups across Australia, doing what we do in the this SDA sector.

In this 'part two' episode, Charlotte asks both Debbie and Minh questions about our 'Vision', our 'Integrity', our 'Honesty', our 'Feasibilities', our 'Network', and much much more!

We hope you enjoy getting to know our little business in Brisbane, which has just turned 3 years old in July 2023 (yay, happy birthday to us!).  We sincerely do think you are getting to know us a little bit better following on from part one and continue with us for the long term as avid listeners on this podcast show as it goes through Year 2.

Never did we imagine that we would be hitting 3300 downloads per month. Thank you to everyone for their constant positive feedback in encouraging us to bring more content to you our listeners. We are here to serve!

We are joined by Frank Vounasis, the CEO of Leipzig Australia, a boutique property development company from Adelaide. Frank joins Minh to talk about their small boutique residential 12-unit complex, which has 4 'Fully Accessible' units as part of their small community in the building. The project is named ALMA TERRACE APARTMENTS, in the suburb of Woodville West, Adelaide.

Woodville West is approximately 10 kilometres northwest of the Adelaide CBD,  and is a perfect example of integration and inclusion of SDA accommodation into the community with plenty of amenities (Transport, Shopping, including West Lake Westfield, & Hospital) all within close proximity for Participants to live independently.

With 4 "Fully Accessible" units for sale, it is compatible for Participants with SDA funding in IMPROVED LIVEABILITY or FULLY ACCESSIBLE categories. It's a tremendous opportunity for investors given the new "SDA 5 Year Price Review" which has just occurred. It allows investors to jump into one of the best priced SDA properties for sale in Australia, being $542,500, as an 'Off The Plan' purchase. 

For any investors looking for such a competitive entry price, with time delay of settlement (Q3 2024) this is the ideal entry point for an investor. The requirement is only a 10% deposit of the price above, and the remaining 90% at completion in Spring of 2024. 

For those wondering about the gross yields of this investment, it would be as follows:

• Fully Accessible - $93,377 p.a (SDA income & RRC) - Gross 17.2% p.a *
• Improved Liveability - $90,883 p.a (SDA income & RRC) - Gross 16.8% p.a *

*  No HPS & No Fire Sprinklers & No OOA applicable to these units

In Part 3 of the 'Breaking News' segment this week, we have just Debbie and Minh, to sit down again (for the third consecutive day) to continue discussing some things not covered in our first two episodes on this MASSIVE news from the NDIS.

Worth mentioning aswell:

1. The SDA Pricing Review has estimated that the numbers to be housed by the SDA Program has increased from 28,000 to 30,000. At the same time, the annual cost of the NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) program will grow from the previously projected $700M to $1,800M p.a.
2. The Review recommends a rebalancing of the pricing but no alteration to the pricing mechanism itself. Consequently, the SDA program will continue to rely on a price cap rather than a competitive market-based provision allowing developers to cherry-pick the most profitable projects. 
3. This program and pricing structure do not guarantee the delivery of all the accommodation required nor that the accommodation delivered will be well-located or contemporary, even with significant additional expenditure.

We rarely do emergency podcasts like this, 4 episodes in one week, so we hope you don't feel overwhelmed with the "SDA overdose". The new changes to the SDA PRICES are effective as of July 1 2023, but implemented from October 1 2023, and make retrospective back to July 1 from an SDA income payout.

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.
