Pre budget submission January 2023
Our pre budget submission addressed the rapid rise in the number of people living with Young Onset Dementia (YOD); the significant and wide ranging lack of services for this group; and the very real risk that these younger people will be inappropriately placed in residential aged care services because the service options they require simply do not exist.

The Productivity Commission’s Housing and Homelessness Agreement Review 2022
Our work with younger disabled Australians living or at risk of placement in residential aged care, revealed that the current housing offerings for NDIS participants is too narrow to accommodate the diversity of housing need and expectation that Australians with disability have.
Rather than seeing housing as buildings developed in isolation from or with little reference
to the spaces and communities within which they are built, our submission supported a
concept of accessible housing as key to the successful development of inclusive
communities.

Response to the NDIS Quality & Safeguarding Framework Discussion Paper 2015
May 2015 - With the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), attention has now turned to development of a Quality and Safeguarding Framework for the scheme.
The Alliance’s response argues for a robust framework that provides confidence and surety for consumers of NDIS and other funded services; and for Community Living Organisations to be front line agencies of the scheme.

Review of the National Disability Advocacy Framework (NDAF) 2015
Aug 2015 - The review of the National Disability Advocacy Framework (NDAF) is a critical component of the overall reform program currently in play nationally in Australia.

Submission to the Review of the NDIS Act 2013
Oct 2015 - The Alliance has called for a number of changes to scheme design to improve the NDIS operational capacities.
The Young People In Nursing Homes National Alliance is pleased to provide a submission to the review of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013.
We believe that the review is timely, given that the original legislation was designed primarily for the launch of the scheme and, based on the experience of the scheme in the trial sites, it was always likely that the Act’s provisions would change over time.
