Overcoming the Vacancy Challenge in SDA Property Investment
Building or buying a Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) property comes with its own risks, and vacancy is by far the biggest lever.
Many SDA providers treat tenancy as a secondary operational task, often charging hefty fees without a guarantee of finding a tenant. At Integrated Access, we do things differently. We treat vacancy management as a proactive, collaborative strategy—and we don’t charge you a single dollar for our time.
We’re not just bean counters; we roll up our sleeves and tackle the challenges with you. Our fees are also dependent on your property being full, so we’ve got skin in the game too.
We can deploy our deep knowledge of the industry to make sure you have the best chance of maintaining the highest possible returns from your property. Be it innovative habitation arrangements or leveraging the right industry players to get you the results you were banking on.
Unlike other providers who charge premium rates to find and onboard tenants, our comprehensive sourcing service is included. We are incentivised to fill your property quickly and correctly through our fee structure.
No Sourcing Fees

We maintain contact with Support Coordinators, Plan Managers, and NDIS Local Area Coordinators (LACs) who are actively seeking accommodation for clients. We also spend time evaluating the other providers in the area to ensure we have the right team engaged.
Direct Local Networks
For developers and investors, we begin the tenant matching process during the construction phase to target handover-day occupancy.
Early-Stage Pipeline Matching
Waiting for participants to stumble across your property online is a recipe for extended vacancy periods. The SDA ecosystem requires deep, active roots within the Australian disability sector.
Our proactive tenant-matching framework ensures your property is visible to the right people well before the final occupational certificate is issued
FAQs
Do you really not charge for SDA tenant sourcing?
1
Correct. We believe in a partnership approach to get your property operational and at capacity. Our tenant sourcing and matching service is completely free of charge as part of our commitment to maximising your yield. The only cost we pass on is the vacancy listing fees on any external websites you choose to list your vacancies on.
What happens if an NDIS participant leaves the property?
2
Because of our deep roots in the local disability community, we generally have visibility over participants looking for accommodation in your area. We immediately trigger our active pipeline network to source a compatible replacement, minimising your financial exposure.
How do you ensure the incoming tenant has the right funding?
3
Our compliance team reviews the participant's NDIS plan before signing any tenancy agreements. We ensure their SDA funding category matches your property design exactly, preventing costly claiming errors down the line.
How is the approach you take different to other SDA providers
4
In short, we hussle! Many other SDA provider manage a vacancy listing and then job is done. Not us, we keep the pressure on. Yes, we also manage the online listing but this is given. We leverage our networks, hold people accountable, launch marketing campaigns, source collateral and more…
