Setting the standard for disability housing in Australia.

Our vision

Our vision is that every person living with disability in Australia has access to high quality, safe, stable and appropriate homes.

We aim to set the standard for disability housing in Australia.

 
 

The challenge

With the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) almost fully operational at a national scale, now is the time to ensure more individuals have an appropriate place to live.

Currently there are young people living with disability in Australia who are residing with their ageing parents or living in nursing homes or hospitals.

Through the NDIS, the Federal Government has made an initial annual funding commitment of $700 million for Specialist Disability Housing (SDA) and rental payments.

 

OUR MISSION

Every person living with disability has access to high quality, safe, stable and appropriate homes.

OUR MANTRA

Excellence from building construction to community care. It’s the right fit, in the right area.

OUR METHOD

Modern design, innovation, collaboration and sharing of best practice within the sector.

OUR MOTIVATION

To provide greater choice of high quality housing and care to those that need it the most.

 

The numbers

 
Of 460,000 NDIS participants, 28,000 are estimated to be eligible for SDA support and this number is expected to grow
Approx. 80% will require upgrading or redevelopment within 10 years
$5 billion capital is estimated to be needed to provide SDA for 12,000 participants to meet NDIS goals
16,000 people currently live in some form of SDA
 
12,000 people currently have no access to SDA
We exist to transform the lives of individuals through their ability to choose where and how to live
 
 

How we are paving the way to changing housing

Our theory of change holds that greater impact will be achieved through a multi-pronged collaborative approach across the disability housing system. It illustrates how what we do together, builds better outcomes for people living with disability.

Leading the way

We are more than just an investment fund, we also strive to influence the disability housing system. We understand that a strong disability housing system makes for a stronger economy and community. 

Synergis Fund is part of a coalition of sector leaders working together to develop a common outcomes framework to understand the impact of housing and in-home supports on the lives of people with disability. It will enable us to better measure, evaluate, learn and understand the needs of disability housing in Australia. To find out more, visit the Disability Housing Outcomes Framework website.
