Improved liveability housing is a dwelling that has been designed to improve ‘liveability’, and should be built to Livable Housing Australia ‘Silver’ level. The designed environment should respond to the needs of participants through incorporating a reasonable level of physical access and enhanced provision for participants with sensory, intellectual or cognitive impairment. For example, Improved Liveability dwellings should include one or more additional design features such as luminance contrasts, improved wayfinding and/or lines of sight depending on the needs of the participants⁽¹⁾.

Apartments are self-contained units occupying only part of a larger residential building. Apartments are typically built above or below another dwelling. Self-contained dwellings that are separated from other dwellings by walls alone are not apartments but are likely to be a villa, duplex or townhouse⁽²⁾.
