This overview summarises the NDIA’s NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Report: 2026, published on 30 June 2026. The figures compare 31 December 2024 with 31 December 2025.

Key figures

SDA demand and supply

25,502 participants

Participants with an SDA need, up 4% from 24,522. That is broadly in line with growth in the disability types most associated with SDA.

15,925 using SDA funding

Participants using their SDA funding, up 8.4% from 14,688.

13,297 enrolled dwellings

Enrolled SDA dwellings, up 23.7% from 10,749. Three in four new enrolments were High Physical Support.

Over the past two years, total SDA supports committed rose from $440 million to $626 million, and total SDA payments rose from $267 million to $507 million.

Trends

What the NDIA is seeing

  • New builds keep growing. Growth in new-build SDA, with a gradual decline in existing stock, is consistent with current SDA pricing settings.
  • Some areas show oversupply. Supply is high compared with need in Melbourne West, Adelaide North, Ipswich, Adelaide South and Logan–Beaudesert, areas generally associated with lower land costs.
  • Building type matters. Three-resident houses are the most common building type in participants’ decisions, while recent supply has leaned towards smaller dwellings, including two-resident houses.
  • Location matters. Access to community, transport, health services and support networks can influence demand and occupancy.

Queensland

The SDA market in Queensland

New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland together account for 78% of participants with an SDA need. Queensland recorded the lowest growth in design-stage registrations of the larger states (4%), and unlike the other states, most of its planned SDA is outside the capital, reflecting the state’s size and number of satellite cities.

The NDIA’s advice to investors and providers is to consider local demand and market conditions alongside state, territory and national data. Learn how SDA investment works, or explore the SDA B.O.O.T.S Fund for wholesale investors.
