Compass Housing Services SDA team has summarised the highlights from the National Disability Insurance Agency’s (NDIA) 2021 SDA Market Summary –2021.
Compass Housing Services (Compass), finished the year in a strong position despite what Group Managing Director Greg Budworth describes as the most challenging year in Compass’ history.
Compass Housing Services (Compass) has teamed up with the Royal Botanic Gardens and Cerebral Palsy Alliance to build and plant-out a wheelchair accessible sensory garden at one of its new specialist disability accommodation (SDA) properties on the Central Coast.
There are still almost 5,000 people under 65 and 130 aged under 45 living in residential aged care. The reality is almost all of those people have a disability.
Modern, purpose built, specialist disability accommodation (SDA) is providing people with a high level of disability to enjoy living in the community rather than in institutions.
Today, the NSW Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Services, The Hon Gareth Ward, inspected one of the final new group homes being built for people with a disability as part of the Hunter Residences program.
Compass Housing says the region’s growing stock of specialist disability accommodation (SDA) will help to improve the lives of people with disabilities and their families.
Close to 3,000 SDA places have been built or are in the pipeline. But it estimates 9,000 places are still needed to meet demand and many people with a disability currently living in poor quality homes.
New National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) data shows there are more than 5,400 people under 65 living in residential aged care.
Compass Housing has been appointed to operate and manage the housing project, alongside BlueCHP who will conduct the design, construction and certification.
Minister for Disability Services Ray Williams today announced construction of 69 new homes for people with disability living in the Hunter Residences will commence imminently.
A joint venture from two of Australia’s leading not-for-profit community housing providers has been selected by the NSW Government to provide tailored supportive accommodation to people currently living in three Hunter based residential care centres.
Home in Place wishes to recognise the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We celebrate the First Peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationship to Country and acknowledge the significance of Aboriginal cultures in Australia.
