Accessible Housing Guidelines Consultation (Not-for-profit and peak bodies)

The Australian Human Rights Commission (Commission) is partnering with Churchill Research Fellow Kim Samuel, and the Churchill Trust, to develop and pilot Australian Design Guidelines for Access and Inclusion in Residential Development.

Background

The Commission is holding a number of consultation sessions to provide stakeholders with an overview of the draft Guidelines. Stakeholders will also have an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

Feedback will inform the development of the Guidelines and ensure that they are fit for purpose and consider a broad range of accessibility needs, inclusion elements, intersectionality, best practice universal design, and regulatory requirements.

This consultation session is targeted for Not-for-profit and peak bodies involved in housing design, development, planning and policy, disability, and universal and inclusive design practices.

To secure your place please register before Tuesday 7 May.

We also encourage relevant stakeholders to make a formal submission. Read the draft Guidelines and find out more about the consultation process. 

Accessibility services will be provided for this event, including:

• Auslan interpreters that can be seen on the screen at all times.
• Live captions that can be accessed via a separate screen if needed.

Please tell us if you have any additional accessibility requirements when you register.
