Why attend our Conferences and Events?
Since 2020, SDA Conferences and Events has been the trusted national organizer producing impactful gatherings in partnership with NDISDA and recently, the Impact Housing National Strategic Alliance.

We provide an independent, respected platform that unites diverse professionals across Specialist Disability Accommodation, Supported Independent Living, Short and Medium-Term Accommodation, Crisis  and Social Impact Housing solutions.

Our purpose-built events drive meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and sector-wide collaboration.

With over 25major conferences and workshops held across Perth, Hobart, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide, we reach hundreds of professionals annually.

Attendees include Providers, Builders, Developers, Assessors, NDIS Participants, Government Representatives, Universities, Researchers, Investors, Legal Specialists, Advocacy Groups and more.

Each event delivers practical insights, regulatory updates, and genuine opportunities for connection and exchange.

​

Non-bias : We operate as a sector-facing, non-aligned platform offering NDISDA and industry memberships, while remaining independent of direct SDA or NDIS service delivery and consultancy.

We do not provide NDIS consultancy, SDA provider, or developer services; instead, we refer to our valued members and event participants who uphold ethical standards and best practice.

Our role is not to compete with the service delivery sector, but to support and strengthen it.

​

We extend the expertise of industry practitioners through inclusive roundtables, strategic forums, and national conferences -bringing together providers, policymakers, support coordinators, investors, and community stakeholders to share insights, address challenges, and promote ethical, informed practice.

​

This independence ensures we remain a balanced, trusted voice- committed to supporting all stakeholders to navigate complexity, build capacity, and advance the growth and sustainability of the Impact Housing and Specialist Disability Accommodation sectors.

Integrity and independence are at our core.

We operate free from commercial agendas and never compromise the trust placed in us. All profits are reinvested into future events, research, and education—supporting the growth and sustainability of the sector.

​

Success through collaboration 

Through our events, hundreds of professionals have built sustainable partnerships, expanded their impact, and successfully navigated complex Specialist Disability Accommodation challenges.

From gaining a deep understanding of SDA to developing strong communities and solutions, the focus remains on supporting the most important clients—the participants. Attendees acquire practical knowledge and strategic insights that empower them to enhance service delivery, improve operational efficiency, and better meet the needs of vulnerable communities.

​

Attendees also benefit from expert speakers, legal specialists, and sector leaders who offer valuable guidance on overcoming barriers, adapting to regulatory changes, and unlocking new opportunities.

These connections and shared learnings enable participants to make informed decisions, cultivate robust referral networks, and deliver meaningful outcomes for the people and communities they serve.

Our approach is rooted in accessibility and relevance.

Rather than centralizing events in a single location, we bring them directly to your State, reducing travel and expenses while enabling regional connections.

Our intimate networking groups create safe spaces where every voice has the opportunity to be heard, allowing meaningful engagement with decision-makers and peers.
We deeply value the time and financial commitment of our attendees, whose participation fuels ongoing sector advancement. By breaking down communication barriers and building a shared understanding across disciplines, we enable collaboration, trust, and collective success.
