Basically group therapy for SDA providers

What a wide ranging and informative conversation! Last time we caught up with Nicole and Goro from Empowered Liveability I commented that it was nice to hear they were having some of the same challenges as DHS. In episode 36 the conversation bridged that gap and ended up in a kind of SDA provider cathartic therapy download! Kind of funny, kind of not... Our experiences are reflective of other SDA providers out there. It's so important that your SDA provider is a stable, secure and profitable business. Impacts of providers failing are quite severe and can cause a ripple of impacts that lasts for months or years. If you're still looking for an SDA provider to manage your portfolio, if you're a participant and not happy with your current provider or if you're one of the many other critical stakeholders in this part of the NDIS, this episode is a great one...

In episode 35 we speak with CJ, an experienced insurance broker who is also an SDA owner and investor. Drawing on both sides of the table, CJ breaks down the real risks landlords face in SDA that many investors overlook. From tenant related risk and property damage through to the gaps that can exist in traditional insurance policies, we explore why SDA presents a unique risk profile and why new insurance products designed specifically for disability housing may be needed. If you own SDA, are considering investing, or work in the sector, this conversation sheds light on the realities of protecting these specialised homes.
