The Handicapped Persons' Association Group Home was opened in Darwin by the Handicapped Persons Association (HPA) of the Northern Territory in 1985. It accommodated up to seven people. In 1991 the HPA established the Darwin Accommodation Service. It is possible that the Handicapped Persons Association Group Home closed at this time.
