Choosing where and how to live can be challenging for anyone. It is especially so for young people with complex health needs. There are many considerations, and it can be hard to access the information needed to help you make your decision.

Young Australians living in nursing homes (YPINH) and others with high or complex support and health needs are significantly different to other individuals with disability. Largely those with acquired disabilities, these are individuals who have led an able bodied life before acquiring a disability through accident or illness. This fact alone means they have different expectations, needs and understandings of the disability service system and how their current and future needs should be addressed…and met.

Moving house can be a challenging undertaking for anyone. It can be especially so for young people with high and complex health and support needs. For this group, moving or transitioning from one place or service to another is much more complicated than packing bags, changing utilities and booking a moving van. Existing life skills may need to be strengthened or new skills learnt if residents are to successfully move to their new home.
