Presented by NDISDA SDA Housing and Disability, SDA Conferences & Events, SILSDA, and the Impact Housing National Strategic Alliance

​

Two Days. One Mission: To Transform Housing for a Sustainable Future with Dialogue, Impact, Collaboration, and Care.
Join us this August in Brisbane for a powerful 2-day forum that brings together the changemakers, service leaders, and visionaries reimagining disability housing across Queensland.

From ethical housing delivery to regulatory readiness, from collaboration to crisis accommodation—this is where progress happens.

​

Whether you're a SDA Provider, SIL Provider,  Participant, Short Term, Medium Term, Respite Provider, Co-Living Provider or stakeholder, Builder, Developer, Investor, Assessor, Tenancy Matching Service, Support Coordinator, Health Care Leader or Advocate,  this event is your chance to connect, learn, and shape a housing system that truly puts Participants and Australia's most vulnerable first.

​

Why attend our Conferences and Events?

​

Since 2020, SDA Conferences and Events has been the trusted national organizer producing impactful gatherings in partnership with NDISDA and the Impact Housing National Strategic Alliance.

 

We provide an independent, respected platform that unites diverse professionals across Specialist Disability Accommodation, Supported Independent Living, Short and Medium-Term Accommodation, and community housing solutions.


Our purpose-built events drive meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and sector-wide collaboration.

With over 23 major conferences and workshops held across Perth, Hobart, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide, we reach hundreds of professionals annually.

Attendees include providers, allied health professionals, government representatives, investors, legal specialists, and advocacy groups. Each event delivers practical insights, regulatory updates, and genuine opportunities for connection and exchange.


We operate as a neutral, non-commercial platform and do not provide consultancy or direct NDIS services, ensuring there is no conflict of interest with our audience.

This independence allows us to maintain an unbiased voice and focus entirely on strengthening the sector through collaboration and informed practice.


Integrity and independence are at our core. We operate free from commercial agendas and never compromise the trust placed in us. All profits are reinvested into future events, research, and education -supporting the growth and sustainability of the sector.
Our approach is rooted in accessibility and relevance.

Rather than centralizing events in a single location, we often bring them directly to your State, reducing travel and expenses while enabling regional connections when possible 


We deeply value the time and financial commitment of our attendees, whose participation fuels ongoing sector advancement.

By breaking down communication barriers and building a shared understanding across disciplines, we enable collaboration, trust, and collective success.
Through our events, hundreds of professionals have formed sustainable partnerships, expanded their impact, and navigated complex SDA challenges

Attendees benefit from expert speakers, legal insights, and sector leaders who help overcome barriers and unlock new opportunities.
 

We liaise directly with universities, advocacy bodies, government agencies, and industry experts to deliver trusted, relevant, and timely information. Our unique position as operators of Australia’s only dedicated Specialist Disability Accommodation Contact Centre (1300 NDI SDA )- further supports the sector by connecting individuals to ethical, trusted providers.

​
