The Opening the Door Project
Led by Rights & Inclusion Australia (R&IA), this project will provide people with disability with accessible resources and networks to support them in achieving choice and control with their housing options.
Initially focusing on the ACT, where R&IA project staff are based, the project will extend to all other states and territories and will include on-location forums (COVID permitting) and collaboration.
This project is being funded under the Australian Government’s Information, Linkages & Capacity Building program.
