Newsletters

The HMinfo Clearinghouse produces a quarterly newsletter containing information relating to home modification and maintenance issues and disability. Each publication contains an article, book review, and a website review, as well as upcoming publications, training and events.

CHAAtter June 2009 - the combined newsletter of the Centre for Health Assests Australasia (CHAA) & The Home Modification Information Clearinghouse (HMinfo)

As our regular readers will know, the Clearinghouse relocated in August 2008 to the Faculty of the Built Environment at UNSW, and became part of the Centre for Health Assets Australasia. As a result, the two groups have decided to combine their respective newsletters and this is the first issue of the new publication.

We welcome your comments.

The HMinfo Team.
