Accessibility

Hume House currently has some great accessibility features which we are building on to enable greater inclusion. Overall, the house offers great inclusive features such as wide hallway, large living area’s – internal and external, bathrooms and main-bedroom.

Guest Entrance and Doors

Hume House's door widths are <80cm - so workable for most devices and we have a ramp. We are however working on purchasing a compliant rubber ramp.

The entry to amazing deck has the widest practical opening. We currently do not have threshold ramps but are working on this.

Accessible Parking Spot

HuHume House has a private driveway that meets the 3.3m wide with room to spare. We have a large smooth surfaced concrete area that is close to the house that complies with the NDIS SDA guidelines

Main Hallway

OurOur main hallway is very accessible at 1m wide. We hope that this allows an easier straight travel and turning into doorways easier too.
