🎉 Ethical Property Investments is a proud finalist in the IABCA 2026 Excellence in Innovation Award category. 🎉

Based in Melbourne, Ethical Property Investments is redefining Australia’s disability housing and ethical investment landscape by demonstrating that strong financial returns and genuine social impact can coexist.

As a mortgage broker, SDA provider, and ethical property developer, the organisation has delivered over 100 homes and housing outcomes for more than 200 people with disabilities—achieving consistently high tenancy rates and transforming lives through purpose-built, co-designed housing solutions.

What sets Ethical Property Investments apart is its disruptive, human-centred model.

From pioneering wider accessibility solutions to embedding co-design with residents, families, and allied health professionals, the organisation is reshaping what disability housing looks like in Australia.

Beyond development, Ethical Property Investments plays a leading role in education and advocacy—supporting investors, families, and communities through transparent, informed, and ethical property investment pathways while challenging outdated practices in the sector.
