The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) released the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Pricing Review 2022-2023 to assess how current SDA pricing affects housing supply and demand. The review aimed to set new SDA prices to guide market investment in areas that will most benefit people with disabilities over the next five years.
The pricing review focused on two key objectives: ensuring that eligible participants receive necessary support and establishing pricing that encourages future investment in SDA housing.
A significant methodological shift occurred regarding fire safety measures. The previous multiplier-based approach was discontinued and replaced with a new system that adds variable amounts to construction costs depending on the specific build type.
