Is this suspicous?

So, I did a search on the Aus Govs NDIS website, that's totally free and open to the public to search on. I initially wanted to try and tie addresses and companies to Asian massage parlors, because for some reason Australia's east cost seems to have quite a few of them.

After filtering it out and playing with the data (over 19,000 registered entries) I checked a handful of addresses on Google Maps.. and to my surprise they're nearly all typical homes or apartments with no advertising or signage. There's nothing suspicious about them if you thought you were looking at a typical families residence.

So, I changed suburbs, Ashfield, Burwood, Campsie, again just random residential dwellings.. and these aren't cheap places to buy, they're worth $AU millions of dollars

It's almost like a dump from a real-estate company for a typical 4x2's for sale. There's nothing remotely identifying them as a health service.

There's one company, that has over 253 individual addresses across several suburbs. With each address listed as a separate company name. Again, nearly every single address is a typical 4x2 or an apartment with 0 advertising or signage. And each of those 253 companies are each receiving a NDIS Benefit.

It took about 20minutes to look at a 100 places and it makes no sense. Some of the homes have ''for lease'' signs in the windows on google maps. 

Australia's in a housing crisis.. why are there so many typical homes receiving NDIS benefits? who owns these properties?

Blackrock or Vanguard would be my first guess.

I have to wonder at the use of these properties since they are not really what they appear...
and when it comes to these kinds of things I worry about a number of bad possibilities: like the now infamous fraud cases which seem mostly about 'facades'... it always means these kinds of properties are instrumental to human trafficking, and criminal enterprise...

But that might also be just an appearance as well.

I don't find it suspicious. In my part of the US it is common for companies to do exactly this. They operate by having homes were they provide assisted living situations for handicapped people with LNA/CNA type care around the clock care, and they may also have nurses on staff available depending on a persons needs.

Its a big step up from the days of warehousing disabled people.

Very interesting.
I want to do a little research to see if I can find something similar in USA.

My wife, in her youth, lived for about a year in an assisted living house in Petersham, Sydney, NSW, after a severe motorbike accident.

It was a fairly plain suburban brick house, except that it had renters who required extra care for disabilities, some post surgery, some long-term.

There was no signage, or anything to indicate that it wasn't just another suburban house.

So, perhaps these houses you have found, and the groups supporting them, are entirely legit?

I imagine that such properties would frequently be means tested for fitness of purpose in order to retain their registration. Perhaps you could look into official records for their registration, for some of the addresses?
