Great 2015 article published Social Inclusion on the limited progress towards Australia 2010 goal that all new housing would be visitable by 2020.

Here's the conclusion:

A new approach is required. The Australian Government has three options: it can ignore its human rights obligations to improve social inclusion through housing design; it can financially incentivise the housing industry to respond voluntarily to the Livable Housing Design agreement; or it can ensure the 2020 target is met by working decisively with housing industry and community leaders towards the regulation of minimum access features in all new housing through the National Construction Code.

We are pleased to post the article in its entiretly. Unfortunately, it is only available to us as a PDF.
