Sarah is an NDIS participant who had been living in community housing in the Lismore area. When her safety and wellbeing required her to be urgently relocated, the property she left behind did not stay empty for long.

Squatters moved in. What followed was the kind of damage that is difficult to describe without seeing it firsthand. The residence was left in a state of severe hoarding and squalor, with biohazard contamination throughout. Sarah's belongings, including clothing, personal items, and irreplaceable family mementoes, were buried beneath the debris left behind by people who had no regard for the space or the person it belonged to.

Once the occupants were removed, the call came to Sistability.
