HOMES FOR EVERY BODY

Everyone has the right to a home - so why do we still build homes that not everyone can live in? 

Most states and territories have committed to a new National Construction Code that will require basic accessibility for every new home built - like at least one entrance without steps, and a toilet on the entry level. But the NSW Government won’t commit to ensuring new homes built in our state meet these standards, leaving the tens of thousands of older people and people with disability who have mobility issues without the safety and security of accessible housing. 

Three in four people with a mobility impairment currently live in a home that does not meet their needs, but most Australian states and territories are working to change that. Ageing, living with a disability, and sharing our lives with people with mobility issues should not be made harder in NSW than elsewhere in Australia.

Write to the new Ministers for Disability, Housing and Fair Trading now to urge them to commit to minimum accessibility standards in new homes. 

Tell the Labor Government to implement the national minimum accessibility standards for all new homes!
