Nesti Housing

What Nesti Housing does

Nesti Housing is a Western Australian not-for-profit housing provider operating 145 properties serving 316 tenants across Greater Perth and South West regions (including Bunbury, Dalyellup, and Australind). The company delivers Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) across four design categories — High Physical Support, Fully Accessible, Robust, and Improved Liveability — alongside Supported Independent Living (SIL) housing, Community Housing programs (CDHP, CAP, YTHSP), property management, in-house repairs and maintenance, and licensed real estate services through Nesti Realty. The organization operates as a registered NDIS provider (Provider Number 4050101696) and registered charity under PeopleKind Group, with profits reinvested into social and affordable housing rather than distributed to shareholders.

Nesti monetizes through multiple revenue streams: recurring SDA rental income collected via the Maximum Reasonable Rent Contribution (MRRC) framework, community housing rents at 25% of pension plus Commonwealth Rent Assistance, property management fees charged by Nesti Realty, real estate sales commissions, and maintenance service fees. Pricing is largely administered by NDIS Pricing Arrangements and state housing policy, limiting per-unit pricing power but providing revenue predictability. The SDA Co-Design framework is a trademarked methodology that packages steering groups, design consultancy, construction oversight, family and stakeholder management, dwelling enrolment, and audits into a structured service offering for SDA developers.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on a Tenant Engagement Team, sector networking, and event participation (e.g., Developing Australian Communities Expo) to reach NDIS participants, families, support coordinators, and allied health professionals. Community housing applications flow through the Department of Communities WA waitlist. The company is structured across three legal entities — Nesti Housing Ltd (primary operating entity), Nesti Community Housing Ltd (registered charity/community housing), and Nesti Housing Realty Pty Ltd (trading as Nesti Realty) — and is led by Managing Director Jacqui Herring (appointed January 2026) under parent PeopleKind Group CEO Mark Fitzpatrick (joined November 2024). The headcount is 18 employees supported by an in-house maintenance crew, with deep co-development partnerships across WAI Group, Fortitude Living, G Living, Nulsen Disability Services, and Solterra Building Co.
