Book a screening assessment for assisted boarding housing

Using the Australian Government’s Screening Tool for Entry to Assisted Boarding, our friendly customer care team can assess your client’s support needs to determine if this accommodation is suitable for them. All new residents of assisted boarding houses must be assessed using this screening tool.
