About the publication
Why this report exists
The SDA market has enough public data; what it has lacked is interpretation. The SDA Market Report 2026 exists to assist better decision-making by combining public NDIS data with transaction evidence and commercial analysis drawn from SDAHC's work across the sector. It is written for investors, lenders, valuers, administrators, SIL providers and sector participants who need to understand the SDA market beyond headline government data.

Methodology
How this report is built
The SDA Market Report 2026 synthesises public NDIS Supplement P data with SDAHC's own transaction, valuation and provider intelligence; the report's own methodology section sets out its data sources and currency in full. For the site-wide approach behind all SDAHC Research publications, see the research methodology. Related online pages include the executive summary, national snapshot and Australian SDA statistics.
From market intelligence to a specific transaction
This report provides national and state-level context. An individual acquisition or divestment still depends on asset-specific evidence: income, occupancy, provider quality and market comparables for that property. Where that level of commercial advice is useful, see our services and expertise or current opportunities.
