We recently attended the Australian Building Codes Board consultation into the new Accessible Housing standards. The new standards aim to create a set of minimum requirements for accessibility for new homes being built.

We are currently developing our submission to the Options Paper, more details are at

If you have experience, opinions or thoughts about accessibility in newly built homes please get in touch by Friday 23rd November – we’d love to collect as many experiences as possible.

Please email projects@pwdact.org.au or call us on 6286 4223.
