LHA Assessments
What Is a LHA assessment?
A Livable Housing Australia (LHA) Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to enhance the livability and accessibility of residential properties. As experts in LHA guidelines and standards, we meticulously assess your properties to ensure they align with the necessary criteria.
We scrutinize a range of elements including entranceways, pathways, internal layouts, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas, making sure each meets LHA requirements. Our assessments are sensitive to the needs of individuals of all abilities, particularly those with mobility challenges.
Along with ensuring compliance, we also provide detailed recommendations to enhance accessibility, functionality, and safety. The objective is to make your property more inclusive, fostering an environment that is enjoyable and comfortable to live in.

Why Would I Need A LHA Assessment?
An LHA (Livable Housing Australia) Assessment is an essential requirement for our clients aiming to ensure their residential properties are designed and built to be inclusive and accessible to all, including individuals with mobility challenges.
One significant reason clients need an LHA Assessment is to ensure compliance with LHA guidelines and standards. These standards are designed to make homes safer, more comfortable, and easier to access, not just for people with mobility restrictions, but for everyone. Failure to comply with these standards can result in costly adjustments later on, or even make a property less appealing to a wide range of potential occupants.
Another reason for an LHA Assessment is the commitment to inclusivity and the enhancement of livability. By striving to meet and exceed LHA standards, you can improve the comfort, safety, and functionality of a property, making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters, and ensuring it caters to a diverse range of needs.
Finally, an LHA Assessment demonstrates social responsibility. It shows that you’re committed to creating accessible and inclusive spaces, promoting equality and respect for all individuals. In a society increasingly focused on inclusivity, this can significantly enhance your brand reputation and appeal.
