The company's product offering consists of dwellings constructed to the NDIS SDA 2020 Design Standards at Platinum or Silver categories, covering four SDA design categories: High Physical Support, Robust, Fully Accessible, and Improved Liveability. Technical features installed across the portfolio include ceiling hoists, automated doors, environmental control units, and emergency power backup systems.

Residents pay rent covered by NDIS SDA funding, generating a recurring revenue stream for the company. The organization has approximately 6 employees and works in partnership with a sister company, SDACCOM PTY LTD.

Revenue model

1. NDIS SDA Funding: SDA Australia Group provides specialist disability accommodation funded through NDIS plans. A non-profit fund owns the house while participants pay rent covered by their NDIS SDA funding. The company facilitates the accommodation arrangement rather than directly receiving SDA payments.
2. Property Rental: Once built, properties are rented to participants as long-term tenants. NDIS plan includes annual funding to pay rent, calculated based on location, size of property, and level of accessibility.
