SILSDA 2026 National Conference Series: Leading the Future of Supported Independent Living
The premier national event for leaders, providers, and innovators in Supported Independent Living and Specialist Disability Accommodation
The SILSDA 2026 Conference Series has been tailored to respond to one of the most transformative periods in the history of SIL and SDA services.
Against a backdrop of sweeping NDIS reforms -including the Integrity & Safeguarding Bill 2025, the transition to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), rising workforce costs under the SCHADS Award, new SIL Practice Standards, and funding reassessment trends - this series delivers strategic insight, practical solutions, and actionable strategies to help organisations be future-ready.
Through a combination of expert presentations, operational analysis, real-world examples, and forward-looking discussions, delegates will gain the tools, knowledge, and confidence to:
-
Anticipate and respond to regulatory and legislative change, including strengthened compliance frameworks, enforcement trends, and Tribunal transitions.
-
Lead safe, person-centred services while managing operational, financial, and workforce pressures.
-
Navigate funding reforms, plan reassessments, and legacy group home closures, ensuring continuity, compliance, and risk mitigation.
-
Embed robust safeguards and individualised risk management, including fire safety planning and other tailored safety strategies.
-
Optimise workforce capability, rostering, and funding models to maintain sustainable, high-quality service delivery in an evolving SIL and SDA landscape.
This series is designed for senior executives, service and operations managers, finance and HR leaders, compliance and risk officers, allied health professionals, and sector advocates who are responsible for operational strategy, governance, and high-quality outcomes in complex support environments.
Join us at SILSDA 2026 to connect with sector leaders, gain practical solutions, and position your organisation at the forefront of a rapidly evolving disability services sector. This is your opportunity to future-proof services, safeguard quality outcomes, and lead with confidence.
