Approximately 16 percent of Australians with disability experience discrimination compared to less than 13 percent of peers without disability.

Building Better Homes is asking Australians to sign an open letter to NSW political leaders to improve housing opportunities for people with disability.

Building Better Homes representatives will meet at 10:30am on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at Martin Place, opposite Parliament House in the Sydney CBD. 

Keynote speakers will express the need for accessible housing for people with disability in NSW and the signed open letter will be presented to NSW politicians. You can sign the open letter on the Building Better Homes website.

Other organisations such as People with Disability Australia and the Physical Disability Council of NSW advocate for changes in the NSW Government’s attitude to providing accessible housing for people with disability.
