AFTER THE EVENT NEWS
Summary by our MC Bob Ortega - to all Sydney delegates
One wet Saturday in Sydney, a group of like-minded individuals convened to meet the call and fill the gap for Specialist Disability Accommodation.
For your time today, innovators in this space shared their expertise in this multi-faceted program.
• Through Tony Rutherford, we found out who the players are, their roles and their contractual obligations
• Harry Mitchell, UPS Solutions and Con Serv showed how technology and design come together to propel the participant’s independence
• Laila Burnet and Alison McLeod helped us to determine the size of the opportunity available to us and why we need to act
• Sam Thorp showed how we can practically measure the impact to participate with a new tool
• Greg Barry put NDIS participants’ needs in the forefront to assist in life changing housing outcomes
• Finally, John Moulang stamped approval puts NIDS participants’ needs together in conceptual design to successful implementation
John’s ominous ‘pink batts’ case review had all speakers putting the participant’s needs at the core of SDA. It is, after all, Specialist Accommodation for our disabled brothers and sisters.
We sincerely thank all the sponsors, the speakers, and most importantly, all who attended who have a stake in NDA.
We hope you received a return on your time invested today.

Measuring the impact of housing – the Disability Housing Outcomes Framework
Disability housing is changing, with customers having more choice and higher expectations. Providers, both SIL and SDA, need to be able to demonstrate their impact. Yet it’s hard to know what good looks like and challenging to compare between providers. To address this, a coalition of stakeholders from across the sector including people with disability and SIL and SDA providers have co-developed a way to measure the impact of housing on people with disability.
The Disability Housing Outcomes Framework (https://disabilityhousingoutcomes.com/) is a practical, person-centred approach to understanding what is working (and not working) in disability housing. It is already in use across the sector in providers both large and small.
In this session, Sam will outline:
• How you can measure the impact you’re creating
• How to implement the Disability Housing Outcomes Framework
• The outcomes we’re already seeing from providers using the tool

Assisted Technology in SDA -
Assistive Technology brings immense benefits to residents in any SDA property, not only through its promise of increasing each resident’s independence, but also in its ability to assist in the delivery of in-home services more effectively. Automated doors, automated blinds, touch/voice activated appliances, dynamic lighting and high speed internet are among the many applications of technology which can be implemented in a build. The key is in selecting which specific features will benefit the participant who will be moving in: nuances which can be narrowed down through co-design and engagement with the participants looking to move into the property.
This presentation will discuss the benefits and responsibilities for;
- SDA Providers
- SIL Providers
- Participants
3.10pm - 3.25pm
