Process of the SDA Pricing Review:

In compliance with the SDA Pricing and Payments Framework, the NDIA initiated a comprehensive review of SDA prices, including the underlying assumptions used to determine them. The primary objective was to assess whether the existing pricing structure attracts sufficient investment to meet the projected demand for SDA and accommodate all eligible individuals. To conduct the review, the NDIA engaged Ernst and Young, along with other technical specialists, to provide independent research and analysis. The review considered 46 sector submissions and consulted over 100 organisations and individuals, providing comprehensive analysis and recommendations.
