Breaking News - Tenant Voice Gets Heard!

  1. Listen to our Stacey Copas live at the Senate Committee – you can see it live on here on youtube on 31 July at 4.30!

 

As part of the consultation for the NDIS Reform (National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026), we made a submission  based on what SDA tenants told us, which was one of more than 4,000 received. If you want to read about it later, check here.

 

  1. DSC Conference

 

Tris Peters and Lee Archer will be speaking about Big Safety and Little Safety and how it impacts the daily lives of SDA tenants at the DSC Conference, which will put Tenant Voice in front of a huge audience. 

 

  1. Collective Impact – Power in PurposeJust SDA Management Conference. 

 

Tris, Lee and Sijan Dahal will explore Tenant Voice, particularly focusing on Bureaucratic Harms and Administrative Burden through our Big and Little Safety Lens. This conference has a strong provider focus so we’re keen to embrace the concept of collective impact and how the voice of tenants is central to SDA. See more about the Conference here

Lee Archer is on a panel about ‘Untangling Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA): Exploring Housing Solutions Within Current Frameworks’. See more about the conference here

 

  1. Our Annual Forum

 

We’ll be doing things a bit differently for our Annual Forum, and we are super excited! Stay tuned as we will be making announcements shortly. 

 

Tenant Voice is funded by NDIA to ensure that tenants of SDA have a voice in the design, build and delivery of SDA and on-site support services. Everything we do is based on what our Reference Groups (made up of SDA tenants, or want to be tenants, in NSW, QLD, and Victoria)  tell us is happening at ground level of SDA. We’ve only been established for 18 months and we have made incredible progress ensuring that there is a consumer voice for tenants.
