The Specialist Disability Accommodation Fund (the Fund) is a wholesale fund that focuses on investing in high-quality Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in attractive locations to support Australians living with a disability. The Fund acquires and develops market leading SDA properties for occupation by National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Participants.

 The features of investing in the Fund are:

  • Managed by an investment manager with skilled employees who have extensive experience in the property industry.
  • A unique opportunity to invest in a Fund which owns properties certified to be enrolled with NDIA as SDA;
  • Access to a diversified portfolio of specialist disability accommodation properties and related assets, which will include some strategic assets with the ability to enhance income and the potential for capital growth over the medium to long-term.
  • Regular income distributions, together with the opportunity for capital growth over the long term.
  • Potential for tax deferred income. 

 

Since inception the Fund has established a portfolio of SDA dwellings which underpins current performance and provides a  strong platform upon which to grow future acquisition and development.

  • SDA dwellings are defensive investments supported by an attractive Government funded income stream.
  • There is significant unmet demand for additional SDA dwellings across varying locations, building types and design categories.
  • SDA payments are subject to ongoing indexation and benchmarking to ensure relative performance in changing environments.
  • Australian Unity has employed experts in the asset class to ensure the Fund navigates the nuanced scheme, to optimise outcomes, opportunities and manage risks.
