Inspections are more useful when you're prepared. Bring the right people, ask your questions and take time to picture yourself living there.
Who to bring
- A support person you trust — family, friend, advocate.
- Your Support Coordinator, if available.
- An occupational therapist for complex access questions.
What to bring
- Your housing-requirements list.
- A tape measure, a phone for photos, and a notebook.
- Questions written down — it's easy to forget on the day.
What to try during the inspection
- Move through the space as you would at home.
- Check reach — switches, taps, cupboards, appliances.
- Step outside — the neighbourhood matters too.
