Services

Requests for assistance are assessed on a case by case basis, subject to availability of funding and are only provided to safeguard health, safety and security outcomes for the occupant of the home.

Maintenance or repairs that are considered to be the responsibility of the landlord under Residential Tenancies legislation, or any other tenancy agreement will not be funded.

Modifications services, such as installation of grab rails, must be carried out in accordance with specifications recommended by a qualified Occupational Therapist.
