We take time to listen to what matters to you and understand your goals.
We can work alongside the people you trust — such as family, carers, support coordinators or friends — to explore housing options that feel right for you.
Home Access is not a crisis or emergency accommodation service. If you need urgent housing or safety support, we can help you find the right service to contact.
You can talk with us face-to-face, over the phone or online — no referral needed.
Home Access welcomes people from all cultural backgrounds and is committed to providing culturally safe and inclusive support.
Who we support
Home Access is for people with disability who:
- want help with housing choices
- want to move to a different home
- want to change who you live with
- need a safe place to live after leaving hospital or another service
- do not feel safe in your current home
- need help to find housing that suits your needs
- want to learn more about your housing options
We welcome anyone who wants to better understand their housing choices and access tailored support. You do not need proof of disability to contact Home Access.
How we can support
We can help you think about where you want to live and make a plan. We do not provide housing ourselves. We can help you find services and housing options that may be right for you.
We can help you:
- understand your housing choices
- think about where you want to live
- learn about different types of housing
- work out what you need in a home
- make a housing plan
- find support for things that may affect your housing, like health, safety or money.
What happens when you contact us
When you contact us, we will:
- listen to you
- talk about your housing needs
- talk about where you would like to live
- help you understand your housing options
- look at other supports that may help you
- work with you to plan your next steps
