Have your say on age-appropriate accommodation for people with disability

People with disability under the age of 65 are sometimes not able to get age-appropriate accommodation and supports. They may be living in residential aged care, which may not be the right place for them.

The Australian Government has funded programs to help people with disability, under the age of 65, find age-appropriate accommodation and supports. The Government is working with Nous Group (Nous), a management consultancy, to evaluate these programs. We want to understand:

• what worked well 
• what could be done better in the future. 

The Government and Nous want to hear about your experiences with getting age-appropriate accommodation and support for:

• yourself
• a family member
• someone you care for.

Your feedback will help inform future programs and initiatives.

How to have your say

You can have your say by taking part in:

• an online survey, which will take 10 to 20 minutes to do 
• a face-to-face or online interview, which will take 30 minutes to do
• both the survey and interview.

The survey is open until 17 June 2024.

Register(Opens in a new tab/window) to take part in the survey, an interview or both.
