Many Queenslanders find it difficult or sometimes even impossible to enter, get around or use some of the features in their home. Homes with steps, bathrooms with slippery floors, or doors that are difficult to open and close can impact on a person’s safety and independence. These features can also make it difficult for people to visit the homes of family or friends and can affect their quality of life.
Over 100 ways to improve access at home booklet includes tips for overcoming some of the barriers found in housing, such as steps and hard to grip door knobs. Information is also provided on organisations that can provide further assistance.
