Since the shift to the NDIS, disability and community health organisations have faced constant change — regulatory reform, funding reductions, rising labour costs, and a fundamental shift from social welfare to social enterprise. Add in the complexity of charity compliance, tax concessions and government funding rules, and it’s easy for financial management to become another burden on top of an already demanding mission.
You didn’t start your organisation to wrestle with FBT concessions or NDIS funding structures — you started it to support your clients and community. We know the pressure of adapting to structural change while still delivering quality services. That’s why Saward Dawson has built a long-standing relationship with the disability and community health sector, and why we host the NDS Professional Community of Practice: Finance group — because we’re genuinely invested in helping this sector succeed.
Saward Dawson provides accounting, audit and business advisory services tailored to the unique demands of disability and community health organisations. Our team combines technical expertise with real sector experience, so the advice you receive is practical, current and relevant to your organisation.

Audit Services
Our audit specialists help identify key areas of financial risk, and all audits are conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
With the right specialist partner, disability and community health organisations move from reacting to sector change, to leading through it — with clear reporting, sound governance and financial strategies that support their mission rather than distract from it.
