About This Data

SDA Signals analyses demand and supply data across Queensland's SA3 statistical regions using official NDIS quarterly data releases published by the National Disability Insurance Agency. Demand is calculated from SDA-eligible participants currently using and not yet using SDA. Supply is measured in registered SDA places and dwellings. Market assessments and confidence scores are derived using a conservative methodology. This data is updated quarterly. SDA Signals is market data, not investment advice.
