Rental housing accessibility for people with disability
16 Jul 2026
A campaign led by the Queenslanders Disability Network (QDN) and Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) is raising awareness of rental housing accessibility modifications making meaningful difference for people with disability.
The result of longstanding collaboration between QDN, REIQ, and the Queensland Government, the Small Changes, Big Differences campaign was co-designed with people with disability and key real estate industry stakeholders. The campaign aims to empower renters with disability to understand their rights and feel confident requesting accessibility modifications, while supporting property owners and property managers to understand the benefits of minor modifications and feel confident saying yes.
QDN also welcomes feedback from people with disability and organisations about experiences requesting accessibility modifications in private rental housing or barriers that continue to arise. QDN advices that more detailed complaints or complex issues should be referred to Tenants Queensland.
