Renting a house within your community is a great way to maintain your independence and you can be supported on your rental journey. However finding the right rental property for you can be difficult. For example, if you are in a wheelchair you may need somewhere without stairs, with sliding doors and an accessible bathroom.

There are a number of disability housing organisations who can help find and place you in a suitable rental property.

Some State and Territory-based organisations work to ensure you have access to a range of appropriately designed and located low cost housing options. They can offer housing programs including mainstream rental programs and community housing programs to help you on your journey to finding an accessible house that meets your disability needs.
