Our Aged Care to Home service had a stall at the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission’s national provider conference in April in Adelaide.
“The conference was a great opportunity to connect with aged care providers who have young NDIS participants in their care,” said the service’s engagement coordinator Alicia Baltra-Ulloa.
“The free service works directly with young people living in aged care, and their supporters, to achieve their housing and support goals.”
Its work aligns with the Federal Government’s target to ensure all younger people transition out of aged care by 2025 (apart from in exceptional circumstances).
Since July 2023 the Aged Care to Home service has supported 15 people to move out of aged care and many others to improve their quality of life while remaining in aged care.
The philanthropically funded service is a partnership between the Summer Foundation and the Housing Hub.
