Health, Wellbeing and Sustainability

This audit relates to being able to perform the daily routines to maintain your healthy and active
lifestyle. Maintaining health and wellbeing is crucial for your loved ones but also for you as the primary care provider.
 

Health and Wellbeing

A unhealthy home can impact on your ability to look after yourself and your loved ones on a daily basis and in some cases can contribute to illness. On the other hand a home that is easy to look after and supports your needs can have an extremely positive effect on your health and wellbeing.

A healthy home is essential for a person with an illness or reduced immune capacity to minimise the risks of further or worsening health problems. Your home can have a huge impact on health and also how you feel and maintaining a positive attitude over time.


Sustainability

This audit also shows you how you can be more climate smart and enjoy the benefits of passive energy and conservation. Looking after the environment by saving energy and making climate smart changes to your home can have long term effects not only on the environment but also on your wellbeing and your hip pocket.
