This includes people with a range of physical disability issues, from young children and their representatives to aged people, who are from a wide range of socio-economic circumstances and live in metropolitan, rural and regional areas of NSW.  \nOur core function is to influence and advocate for the achievement of systemic change to ensure the rights of all people with physical disability are improved and upheld.  \nThe objectives of PDCN are:  \n• To educate, inform and assist people with physical disabilities in NSW about the range of services, structures and programs available that enable their full participation, equality of opportunity and equality of citizenship.  \n• To develop the capacity of people with physical disability in NSW to identify their own goals, and the confidence to develop a pathway to achieving their goals (i.e. selfadvocate) .  \n• To educate and inform stakeholders (i.e.: about the needs of people with a physical disability) so that they can achieve and maintain full participation, equality of opportunity and equality of citizenship.  \nThe Physical Disability Council of NSW is part of the Building Better Homes campaign alliance in NSW. Building Better Homes was established to campaign for more accessible house to be built in Australia, by getting minimum accessibility standards included in the National Building Code.  \nRecommendations  \nRecommendations to make renting fairer in the long term:  \nThe problem:  \n• Most people with physical disability in NSW live in the mainstream private rental housing market yet there is a serious shortage of accessible housing options for people with physical disabilities across the NSW housing market.  \nThe solution:  \n1. NSW Government to adopt the new provisions in the 2022 National Construction Code (Silver Level Livable Housing Design).  \n• For the NSW Government to adopt new provisions in the 2022 National Construction Code which require all Class 1a residential buildings and Class 2 Apartments to be built to minimum accessibility standards (Silver Level Liveable Housing Design) across all new home builds.  \nRecommendations to make renting fairer in the short term:  \nThe problem:  \n• Many tenants with physical disabilities are reluctant to ask for repairs and don’t request modifications to their rental properties for fear that they might receive ano-grounds eviction. Tenants need to feel that they are not putting their tenancy at risk by asking for repairs and modifications which make their home accessible and safe.  \nThe solution:  \n2. Reform existing tenancy laws to remove no-ground evictions.  \n• Reform existing tenancy laws to remove no-ground evictions. Make sure landlords comply and rules are enforced, providing renters with reasonable notice. For any‘no fault’ eviction (i.e., where a renter is not in breach of the agreement) no less than 90 days’ notice (possibly more) should be given and the renter should be able to move out at any time once the termination notice is served.  \nThe problem:  \n• Excessive collection of tenants’ personal information puts renters at risk of discrimination, privacy infringement, and data breaches.  \nThe solution:  \n3. To create a fairer and more transparent rental process for tenants, p","cbCaibPOTGWak9YG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibPOTGWak9YG","pdf",268571,19,"English","# Who is the Physical Disability Council of NSW?\n# Recommendations\n## Recommendations to make renting fairer in the long term\n## Recommendations to make renting fairer in the short term","[{\"question\":\"What is the Physical Disability Council of NSW’s core purpose in relation to rental laws?\",\"answer\":\"It functions as a peak body to influence and advocate for systemic change, ensuring the rights of people with physical disability in NSW are improved and upheld.\"},{\"question\":\"What long-term recommendation does the report make to improve accessibility in NSW housing?\",\"answer\":\"The NSW Government should adopt Silver Level Liveable Housing Design provisions in the 2022 National Construction Code, requiring minimum accessibility standards for relevant new residential buildings.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report suggest making renting fairer in the short term?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends removing no-ground evictions, strengthening legal protections for tenants’ personal data, and introducing an optional portable bond scheme to reduce immediate costs when moving.\"}]","Physical Disability Council of NSW - Improving NSW Rental Laws - Recommendations (August 2023) | PDF",7]
