Is it time for a Tree Change? 🌲



Reconnect with nature with a holiday to the beautiful Scenic Rim, Queensland. Whether you choose to go for a stroll along hundreds of kilometres of wheelchair accessible walking tracks, go hot air ballooning, hire a kayak or fish on a fresh water lake, taste award-winning wines, enjoy fresh seasonal produce or simply explore the local art galleries and cafés – there is something for everyone at this world heritage location.


Our Emerald House is the perfect place to stay while visiting the Scenic Rim and with 200kms of included travel with your stay, no attraction or activity is out of reach. Our location is less than 60 minutes drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and a short distance to local shops and attractions within the Scenic Rim itself.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Planning resource for people with disability


A new resource has been released which assists people with disability to exercise control over their response to COVID-19.


Key points



COVID-19 Planning resource for people with disability


The COVID-19 Planning resource for people with disability helps people with disability get the facts about COVID-19, make a plan for how they will manage during the pandemic, and know what to do if they experience symptoms.


The resource was developed by researchers at the University of Sydney, in partnership with the Queenslanders with Disability Network.


Please share the resource with the people you support, and their families/guardians, as this is one way to support NDIS participants to exercise choice and control in the current situation.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) information webpage on the NDIS Commission website contains links to updates, training, alerts and other resources.


We also have a COVID-19 webpage containing information for people with disability, and a webpage of frequently asked questions about COVID-19 for all stakeholders.
