Home Assist Secure

Home Assist Secure is a service funded by the Queensland Department of Housing delivered by Council.

Home Assist Secure works to:

• help people feel safer at home
• help people have easier access to and within their home
• help people incorporate home security routines into daily activities

You can obtain subsidised assistance with minor home maintenance, repairs, modifications and security that relate to your health, safety and security.

How do I qualify for assistance?
