Hot off the press is this toolkit from the Department of Social Services, designed to be a helpful one-stop-shop source of information for people with disability on moving out of aged care.
The toolkit covers key concerns on the journey out of aged care, and breaks down information on finding housing options, the basics of moving, settling in and ongoing support.
The Summer Foundation helped with the development of this toolkit by coordinating the participation of Lived Experience Contributors who helped to develop and review the material.
These Contributors included younger people who used to live or are still living in aged care, as well as their families.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed their voices and experiences to this resource.
We hope the tips, stories and guides in this toolkit will give people, their family and carers the confidence and knowledge to make choices that work best for them.
