In a thought provoking article by Ward and Franz published on the 9th of April 2015, they conclude that "financial incentives for both the builder and the buyer, demonstration by industry leaders and, ultimately, national regulation' required if visitable housing is to become mainstream. They go on to say "that the Australian Government needs to regulate the housing industry through the National Construction Code". The full article entitled 'The Provision of Visitable Housing in Australia: Down to the Detail' can be found in the Journal of Social Inclusion, 2015, Volume 3, Issue 2, Pages 31-43.
It would be great to see sector comments on this and other relevant home modification issues at our general Home Modifications discussion group (Open to all consumers and the general public) and home modification professionals (a closed forum where you have to register to join) forums.
