In short:
Advocates today have rallied against the NSW government, calling for measures to ensure new residential dwellings in the state meet certain accessibility guidelines.
In 2022, the National Construction Code introduced a mandatory standard in accessibility. However, NSW is one of two jurisdictions to not opt in.
Advocates and researchers say adopting such guidelines has long-term cost benefits and would improve the quality of life for people who are disabled.
