More Information

🏠 Heard about SDA? Curious? Want to own your own home?

Specialist Disability Accommodation is where NDIS helps pay to build accessible homes for disabled people (and not just those with physical disability, btw)
💡 Did you know that those payments can go to disabled people (it’s not just for developers) who have built their own SDA home? And it can be a lot of money.
💪 I want disabled people to own their own homes! Why should the developers make thousands of bucks when many disabled people and families could well build and own their own?
📚 We’ll cover:
1️⃣ What is SDA and who is eligible for this funding?
2️⃣ What sort of homes can be built and do I have to share house?
3️⃣ How much money might you get, and for how long?
4️⃣ The (many) steps to building your own SDA home.
5️⃣ Being a “self provider” of SDA, or not? – what are the other options?
🎯 As always, I won’t beat around the bush and I won’t shy from the reality – I’ll share the dirt – how hard it is to get a loan, how long the whole thing might take.
📚 And I’ll send you home with a bunch of resources and links that help you.
⏩ This webinar will be fast and furious. We have a lot to cover.
🔗 But don’t worry, you can watch it again later with a link we’ll send you.
👥 This workshop is not aimed at developers or providers – we will focus on disabled people and families wanting to do SDA for themselves. I won’t be able to cover everything. But I plan for you to learn enough to know if you want to learn more, and get that further professional advice elsewhere.
