We are home to one of Australia’s leading disability research teams. Through our partnership with La Trobe University, our research delivers a practical and rigorous evidence base to transform housing and living options for people with disability who need access to 24/7 support.
Our research team consists of academics and clinicians working on more than 25 projects across the disability, health and housing sectors. The team collaborates with universities and government, with findings regularly published in reports, conferences and peer-reviewed manuscripts.
We identify and rigorously test good housing and living support ideas and refine and scale up great ideas in partnership with the best and brightest minds.
We want to build on our strong evidence base by partnering with people with disability and like-minded organisations, including universities, technology innovators and service providers, to deliver better housing and living solutions for people who need access to 24/7 support.
