Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Masterclass 2024

Overview

The Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) sector has been the source of industry interest ever since the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) legislation in 2013.

Over a decade later, the underlying market dynamics continue to be a focal point for developers, investors, disability advocates and the broader industry.

So how can the property industry better understand and adapt to the current and future state of the SDA sector?

Join The Urban Developer’s virtual masterclass that will explore the opportunities for developers and investors in the SDA sector.

This is a must-attend event for anyone eager to not only explore but actively contribute to better housing solutions for people with disabilities.
