Program of Appliances for Disabled People (PADP.)
PADP provides a wide range of equipment (eg: shower supports, wheelchairs, continence aids, beds, commodes, cushions, hoists, prosthetic aids, orthotic aids etc.) to adults and children with a disability. Equipment is available according to need and financial situation. Applications must include a copy of a person's Australian Tax Office Notice of Assessment or details of Centrelink pension or Health Care card. The PADP coordinator will assess the application, which may be further considered by the local PADP Advisory Committee. The PADP coordinator will also advise people about equipment pools operated by local hospitals and other organisations. NB: OXYGEN AIDS: this program has different criteria (eg certain blood gas levels, financial criteria etc.) and a referral would need to be from a respiratory specialist rather than a GP. Currently there is a waiting time.

I recently had a 5 day holiday for a family get together, and I had a friend from Sydney stay in my unit to look after my cat as I could not take here with us. Sadly, one of our neighbor's put a note on her car window, that she was not allowed to park the car there, and that she had been reported to Department of Housing. the spot she parked in is a spare spot, and not parking has been officially allocated to tenants. I spoke to dept of housing about this, and was told it was quite ok for me to have a visitor stay, and for them to use that car space and that they would notify all the tenants of this. But to date nothing has happened, and I have another trip away coming up soon, and really don't want this to happen again. Any advice would be appreciated.
