FAQs
Are SDA properties exempt from Land Tax (SRO Vic)
Referring to section 10 of the Land Tax Exemptions from SRO Victoria:
Land is exempt if it is occupied, or currently available for occupation as:
a residential service for people with disabilities within the meaning of the Disability Act 2006, or
an SDA enrolled dwelling provided by an SDA provider within the meaning of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997.
If only part of the land is occupied, or currently available for occupation as a residential service for people with disabilities, or as an SDA enrolled dwelling provided by an SDA provider, the exemption will only apply to that part.
This exemption extends to land where the facility is being constructed until the earlier of the following:
the date construction is completed
two land tax years from the date construction commenced.
Are NDIS properties a good investment?
NDIS properties, commonly referred to as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) are high yield investments. In a market where standard residential rental yields are low, SDA properties can see an average yield of 10% + per year.
What is reasonable rent contribution for SDA?
Referring to the consumer vic website on NDIS reasonable rent contributions;
The NDIS (Specialist Disability Accommodation) Rules 2016 say you can receive a reasonable rent contribution (RRC) from residents. This applies to SDA residency and Residential rental agreements.

25% of the basic rate of the disability support pension
plus 25% of any pension supplement they receive
plus 25% of any youth disability supplement they receive

If a resident does not receive the disability support pension, their RRC cannot exceed:

Can i change SIL providers?
Yes you can. As SIL providers and SDA providers are funded separately you can change SIL providers without leaving your SDA accommodation. If you do decide to move houses, your SDA funding will need to be reapplied.
What is the difference between SDA provider and SIL provider?
SIL and SDA are both different types of disability accommodation options. SIL stands for Supported Independent Living, and SDA stands for Specialist Disability Accommodation. Put simply SIL provides supports to people with physical or mental disabilities and want to live as independently as possible. These individuals receive supports through the presence of a carer.
SDA on the other hand refers to the actual bricks and mortar dwelling that approved participants live in. SDA funds are targeted towards the home, whilst SIL funds are targeted towards the care.
