SDA ImageGovernment spending on the NDIS reached $35.2 billion last year; 0.8% of this was on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). With growing calls for rationalisation, what’s the outlook for SDA investors?

Cushman & Wakefield and Blackoak Capital hosted an exclusive insights session on SDA investment in 2024. Our speakers covered key risks and opportunities in the asset class, including:
 
• Australia’s commitment to supporting those living with disabilities and  future expectations for public expenditure
• SDA as a tool for greater NDIS efficiency
• The role of the private sector in disability support
• How SDA investment opportunities are identified, approached, and managed.
