Navigating SDA Instability: How Funding Delays and Provider Insolvency affect Investors, Participants & SIL Providers
​
The SDA sector is facing a critical period of adjustment. With several providers recently entering administration or having their registration removed, the ripple effects are being felt across the entire ecosystem.
​
Investors are left uncertain, participants face disrupted supports, and remaining providers are working hard to adapt, absorb demand, and maintain service continuity
This session examines what’s driving these financial and operational challenges - from NDIS funding delays and pricing pressures to rising vacancies and tightening compliance demands — and explores how providers and investors can safeguard financial viability in a rapidly evolving environment.
​
Attendees will gain practical insights into:
• How funding delays and vacancy trends affect investment performance
• The importance of due diligence and selecting the right providers
• Understanding the financial, legal, and operational impacts of provider insolvency
• Best-practice strategies for managing risk and maintaining participant stability
​
Managing Provider Insolvency & SDA Investment Risks
This discussion takes a closer look at what happens when an SDA or NDIS provider goes bankrupt — and how that impacts investors, tenants, and service continuity.
Learn how to identify early warning signs, navigate contractual and legal obligations under SDA/SIL arrangements, and implement financial safeguards before issues arise.

SDA Enrolment & Claiming — Getting It Right from the Start
Presented by Lauren Ivanyi, Disability Housing Solutions
Lauren, from one of Australia’s largest privately owned SDA providers, delivers a hands-on session exploring how to ensure SDA enrolment and claiming processes are correct from the outset.
Proper enrolment is critical for securing SDA rental income - yet many providers face costly setbacks due to mismanagement or non-compliance. This session unpacks common pitfalls, myths, and proven best practices to help you protect your investment and support a sustainable SDA future.
