We're taking Nest on the road to give disability housing providers and people with disability (plus their carers and support network) the chance to meet in person and chat about what's available and what they need and want in a home.

National Amputee Awareness Week (4-11 October) aims to build community knowledge of limb loss, minimise the stigma that amputees can face, encourage good quality of life outcomes, and educate the community about the high number of amputations in the hope they better manage their healthcare.

World Cerebral Palsy Day is a movement of people with Cerebral Palsy and their families, and the organisations that support them, in more than 75 countries. Our vision is to ensure that children and adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) have the same rights, access and opportunities as anyone else in our society. It is only together, that we can make that happen.

Nest is for people with disability looking for a home that meets their needs.

Nest makes it easy to search, choose and apply for housing that meets your needs, accessibility and support requirements and lifestyle choices.

With listings from disability housing providers, community and social housing providers, real estate agents and private landlords, Nest is the go-to website for people with disability looking for a home.
