Finding a home that is right for your access needs and lifestyle can be hard. The first step is to work out what it is you are looking for.
Join us as we chat with SDA tenants Angela and Daniel about how they worked out what they wanted (and what they didn't want) in their new home.
You will also find out about a great new series of videos and interactive guidebooks that can help you as you work out where you want to live.
This session will be held on Thursday June 15 at 12:00pm AEST.
