SDA Property ManagementYour SDA home should not sit empty
Perth has more SDA homes standing empty than there are participants ready to move into them. We go looking for yours through the people who help families choose a home, and run it as a furnished short stay in the meantime, so it earns money while it waits and someone can move in within days of being confirmed.

Whichever one of these is you, we handle it
Owners come to us in one of two situations. The problems are completely different, and both need someone who understands the NDIS side and the property side at the same time.
Your SDA home is sitting empty
Every week without someone living there is money you do not get back, while the rates, the insurance and the loan keep going out.
What we do about it
- Short stay income while it is empty, so the house pays its own way instead of draining you.
- We go looking for a participant, through the support coordinators and occupational therapists who help people choose where to live.
- The home furnished, photographed and ready to show, so it looks like somewhere you would want to live.
- A straight answer on how your home compares to what people in your area are actually looking for.
Your SDA home has a participant
The income is coming in. It is the paperwork, the repairs and the phone calls that wear you down.
What we do about it
- NDIS payments claimed and checked, rent collected, and one clear statement every month.
- Your paperwork and safety records kept in order, so a review is never a scramble.
- Hoists, smart locks, doors and rails repaired by our own technicians, not a subcontractor queue.
- One person to call, who deals with the participant, their support provider and their coordinator for you.
Short stay while you wait for a participant
This is the part most SDA managers cannot offer, and it is the part that changes the numbers. An empty SDA home does not have to be an idle one, and the work of getting it ready for guests is the same work that gets it ready for a participant.
It earns while the NDIS cannot pay
NDIS payments only come in while a participant is actually living there. So while the home is empty, the real choice is not short stay against NDIS income. It is short stay against nothing.
The home stays fully furnished
Short stay only works furnished. That furniture, the linen, the whitegoods and the setup are the same things a participant needs on day one, and they are already there.
Someone can move in within days
Once a participant is confirmed we stop taking bookings past the handover date. Agreements signed, keys across, move in. There is no furnishing job standing between the good news and the front door.
It shows far better to a family
A furnished, lived-in home reads as somewhere you could live. Four empty rooms and a bare kitchen do not, no matter how good the accessible design behind them is.
Three ways to hold an empty SDA home
| While nobody is living there | Leave it empty | Long term lease | Short stay bridge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income while nobody is living there | None. The house earns nothing. | Ordinary rent, usually well below what a home built to this standard cost. | A nightly rate on a furnished home, repriced every week. |
| How soon a participant could move in | Weeks of furnishing and setting up first. | Not until the lease ends or the tenant agrees to leave. | As soon as the agreements are signed. It is already set up. |
| Condition and presentation | Goes backwards while empty, and shows poorly. | Someone else's furniture, and hard to show to a family. | Cleaned after every stay and kept photograph ready. |
| Control over the calendar | Total, but worth nothing. | Locked to the lease term. | Bookings kept short term while someone is close to moving in. |
| Effect on the search for a participant | None either way. | Blocks it. You cannot offer a home someone else is living in. | Runs alongside it. The search never stops. |
Short stay is not automatically the right answer. Your strata by-laws, your council’s rules, your insurance and where the home is all decide it, and on some properties a long term lease is genuinely the better hold. We work your numbers before you commit to anything.
Everything an SDA home needs, in one place
An SDA home is two jobs at once. It is a property, with tenants, repairs and paperwork, and it is an NDIS service, with a registration to keep current, payments to claim and a person at the centre of it. We do both.
Finding a participant
Your home put in front of the support coordinators, occupational therapists and plan managers who help people choose where to live, plus a listing on our own SDA vacancies page. We arrange the visits and show people through.
Short stay while you wait
The home furnished, listed, repriced weekly and guests screened, with the cleaning and linen handled. Run by the same team behind our 4.9 star short stay listings, and wound back the moment a participant is confirmed.
Paperwork and compliance
Your NDIS registration details, the paperwork proving what the home was built to, and your fire and safety records kept current and in one place, so a review is a filing exercise rather than a scramble.
Moving someone in
The NDIS and tenancy agreements prepared, and the move organised with the participant's support provider and coordinator, so nothing gets stuck between the good news and the front door.
Payments and statements
NDIS payments claimed and checked, the participant's rent and rent assistance collected, and a monthly statement showing every dollar in and every cost out.
Repairs and equipment
Ceiling hoists, smart locks, automatic doors, lighting and grab rails inspected and repaired by our own technicians, alongside the ordinary repairs any house needs.
SDA specialists, not a rent roll with an NDIS page
We are an SDA and NDIS specialised provider
We manage 26 SDA homes across Perth. Whatever you are dealing with, it is something we are working on somewhere else this week.
Registered provider and licensed agency
We are a registered NDIS provider and a licensed Western Australian real estate agency. Most SDA owners end up hiring one company for the NDIS side and another for the property side.
Our own smart home team
The hoists, locks and doors in an SDA home are not optional extras, they are part of why it qualifies. We install and repair them ourselves rather than waiting on someone else.
A short stay operation already running
A 4.9 star guest rating and around 85% occupancy across our Perth short stay listings. Your empty SDA home plugs into something that already works, not an experiment.
See the homes we manage. The SDA homes we look after in Armadale, Baldivis, Leederville and Morley are run to the same standard we are proposing for yours.

From an empty house to someone living in it
We look at your home. What it was built to, what your NDIS registration says, where it is, how it is laid out and what condition it is in.
You get a straight answer. What people in your area are actually looking for, against what your home offers. If that is not what you were hoping to hear, you hear it anyway.
We agree a plan. How we go looking for a participant, and if the home is empty, whether short stay is worth doing. Before anything is listed we check your strata by-laws, your council's rules, the state short stay register, your insurer and your NDIS obligations.
We get the home ready. Furniture, the safety basics and the equipment working, then proper photographs that suit a guest listing and a family walking through alike.
We go looking. Straight to the support coordinators and occupational therapists who help people choose a home, the vacancy websites families search, and our own SDA vacancies page.
The home earns while we look. Short stay running, with bookings kept short term so the house can be freed up quickly.
Someone moves in, and we keep managing. Agreements, the move itself, NDIS payments, repairs, paperwork and a monthly statement, for as long as they live there.
SDA owner questions
Two things at the same time. We go looking for a participant properly, which means talking directly to the support coordinators and occupational therapists who help people choose where to live, rather than putting a listing up and hoping. And we stop the house costing you money in the meantime by running it as a furnished short stay. That second part matters more than most owners expect, because it also removes the delay between finding someone and them actually being able to move in.
In parts of the market, yes. More homes have been built and registered in some areas, and for some types of need, than there are participants ready to move into them. That is why homes sit empty longer than they did a few years ago. It is not the same everywhere. Where the home is, what it was built to and how many people it houses all change the picture, and some homes still fill quickly. We will tell you which side of that line yours sits on before you sign anything, not after.
It depends on the property, and it is the first thing we check rather than the last. NDIS payments only come in while a participant is actually living there, so an empty home is not earning anything that short stay would take away. Before anything is listed we check your strata by-laws, your council's rules on short stay, the state's short-term rental register, your insurance and your obligations to the NDIS. If any of those make it a bad idea for your home, we will tell you, and we will not list it.
We keep short stay bookings on a short leash whenever someone is close to moving in, so there is never a wall of bookings to unwind. Once it is confirmed we stop taking anything past the handover date, prepare the agreements, and organise the move with their coordinator and support provider. Because the home is already furnished and running, that takes days rather than the months an empty house needs.
Through the people who help participants choose where to live. Support coordinators and occupational therapists are the main route, along with plan managers, local area coordinators, support providers looking for a suitable home for someone they already care for, and the vacancy websites families search. We also list every home we manage on our own SDA vacancies page, which already receives enquiries.
NDIS payments are claimed by a registered provider against a registered home. Some owners hold that registration themselves and want a manager to run everything underneath it. Others would rather a registered provider carry that side completely. We are a registered NDIS provider and can work either way, so the right answer depends on your situation and how involved you want to be. It is worth a short conversation before you settle on anything.
Yes, and a good share of our work is exactly that. Claiming the NDIS payments and checking them, collecting the rent and rent assistance, keeping your paperwork and safety records in order, servicing the equipment, doing the inspections, and being the person the participant, their support provider and their coordinator call instead of you.
A percentage of what the property earns, quoted in writing before you start. Short stay periods are charged at the short stay rate because the work is constant, and ongoing SDA management is charged at a lower rate. If the numbers do not work on your property, we would rather tell you at the appraisal than sign you up.
