What Habilitas does

Habilitas is a boutique, privately held Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) developer and registered NDIS Provider (NDIS 4050132388) headquartered in South Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 2020 (ABN 49 642 332 858), the company designs, develops, and manages purpose-built accessible housing under a "Forever Home" concept, targeting NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Its operational portfolio comprises 11 SDA dwellings distributed across Geraldton, Gosnells, Armadale, Koondoola, Balga, and Capel, with an additional pipeline (Capel – Villas) scheduled for early 2027.

The company delivers its offering through three service lines: SDA Project Development (end-to-end development management — site selection, due diligence, development applications, project management — for SIL Providers, Non-Profit Organisations, Corporations, and Large-Scale Institutional Investors), Tenant Sourcing & Matching (participant assessment and housing pairing), and SIL Engagement (NDIS-aligned collaboration agreements with Supported Independent Living providers). Properties are built to the four NDIS SDA design categories — Robust, High Physical Support (HPS), Improved Livability (IL), and Fully Accessible (FA) — and ship with standard features including Onsite Overnight Assistance rooms, provisions for ceiling hoists and automatic doors, wheelchair-accessible kitchens/baths, polycarbonate windows, flush-finished plywood, solar panels, batteries, insulation, and home automation for blinds, lights and watering. Standard tenancy terms are NDIS-regulated 12–24 month initial leases.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring NDIS SDA funding for own-portfolio dwellings, regulated tenant rent contributions (capped at 25% of the Disability Support Pension including Pension Supplement plus Commonwealth Rent Assistance), and project-based development management fees from third-party SDA mandates. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with participants and families referred via Support Coordinators and Occupational Therapists and B2B clients engaged directly. The firm operates with 1–10 employees, has no disclosed external funding, and provides no disclosed financial metrics.
