Recently, our CEO Amanda Dodds took part in the Sporting Wheelies CEO Wheelie Challenge and raised an impressive $568 for Sporting Wheelies in the process! 

Amanda decided to join the challenge in the hope that it would provide very real insight into how life in an inaccessible world can be a huge factor in our clients’ motivation to engage our services. But, what Amanda got from the experience was so much more.

SDA Services would like to find out how living in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) has made an impact on people’s lives.

We would like people who have lived in SDA for 6 months or more to complete a survey. The survey asks about people’s lives and supports before and after living in SDA.

Our 2023 Survey Results are in!

The recent NDIS Review recommended that the NDIA should remove the Improved Liveability (“IL”) category for new Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) developments and review the remaining SDA categories and associated Design Standards to evaluate their effectiveness.

SDA Services, along with more than 60 of our colleagues in the SDA sector, have united to prepare and send a submission led by our Principal Consultant and Founder, Greg Barry and James Brown (​​SDA Plus), suggesting that this recommendation not be accepted by Minister Shorten.

Recently, our marketing team sat down with 27-year-old Jack Gillespie, one of our Participant Interviewers who is a perfect example of how our organisation strives to be different.

Jack started out as a participant utilising our services and has since been employed by SDA Services, where his role in the team is to interview clients seeking SDA and to reflect on their circumstances, preferences, needs, and aspirations in a clear and detailed manner for our SDA reports.
