An overview of Home Access

Overcoming access barriers

Home Access is a Department of Housing initiative which aims to assist people in the private housing market to adapt their home to meet their needs by providing financial assistance and better targeted information. Home Access also seeks to improve the promotion of homes with design features that make them easier for people to enter and live in.

At this time, financial assistance is available through the Queensland Home Adapt Loan to assist eligible applicants to modify their home. For example, by widening hallways or doorways, or adapting a kitchen or bathroom. The ‘Over 100 ways to improve access at home’ booklet provides information on the many minor fixtures, fittings and equipment that can improve people’s safety and independence in the home.
