We created Nest, a platform to help People With Disability find accommodation after the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
The opportunity identified by Northcott Innovation, was to create a real estate portal for people with disability, the first of its kind in Australia.
WEBSITE
After the successful rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, people with disability theoretically had more options in choosing where they lived, but still faced two significant challenges to achieve successful outcomes in their search; The large shortfall in the supply of accommodation and the lack of a centralised or one-stop marketplace that easily and effectively connected PWD to accommodation suppliers.
The Nest website is fully responsive and AA compliant, custom built portal for people with disability and suppliers of Specialist Disability Accomodation. Built on the Laravel framework, Nest utilises cloud based technologies to deliver an optimised experience for all users on all devices.
Utilising a sophisticated algorithm, Nest allows users to find accommodation matching their preferences and needs, while also being user-friendly and accessible to all visitors. The collection of anonymous data will, in future, allow Nest to support the business case for further investment in specialist accommodation, indirectly addressing the shortfall in supply.

BRAND DEVELOPMENT
Holiday worked closely with the client to develop a brand and logo that was inclusive and welcoming, and most importantly, accessible.
A colour palette was chosen that complies with the WCAG 2.0 guidelines for contrast for vision impaired users, without compromising on the look and feel of the brand.
A unique illustration style was developed for use across marketing and brand touchpoints, giving the Nest brand a warm, human and inviting personality.
