Liveable Housing
All Australians benefit from homes designed with comfort, safety and ease of access as core design features.
These features make it easy for parents to manoeuvre prams, for people with disability or temporary injuries to get around and makes moving furniture and carrying shopping into the house simpler.
A liveable home design:
• Is easy to enter
• Is easy to navigate in and around
• Is capable of being an easy and cost-effective adaptation
• Is responsive to the needs of the occupants
