Owner FAQ

The questions every SDA owner asks us.

Will short stays affect my SDA enrolment?

This is the first thing we work through, and it's why step one of our process is a review of your enrolment and provider arrangement. Short-stay use is structured with your SDA provider and documented before a single guest arrives. If a property's circumstances mean short stays aren't compatible, we tell you at the assessment stage — for free.

What does my SDA provider think of this?

Providers generally welcome it, for a simple reason: an active, furnished, well-maintained home is easier to place than an empty one, and trial stays give their prospective participants a real experience of the property. We formalise the relationship in a coordination agreement so their placement work always comes first.

Who stays in the home?

Primarily NDIS participants using STA (short term accommodation), respite and MTA (medium term accommodation) funding — people who specifically need the accessible features your home offers. Where appropriate, vetted corporate and insurance-housing guests fill remaining gaps. Every guest is screened, and support arrangements are confirmed before arrival.

What happens when a long-term participant is found?

We hand back on the notice period agreed up front — typically enough time to complete current stays and return the home inspection-ready. Handback is a success for everyone; many owners keep us on standby for future vacancy gaps or partial-vacancy rooms.

Who covers wear and tear, damage and cleaning?

We do the managing: professional cleaning between stays, a maintenance response process, condition reports, and guest accountability terms. The specifics — including insurance responsibilities — are set out plainly in the management agreement before we start.

What does it cost me?

Our fee is a percentage of short-stay income — if the home doesn't earn, we don't either. There are no upfront fees for the assessment or provider coordination. Furnishing, if needed, is quoted transparently and agreed before anything is purchased.
