Disability housing in Australia has changed lives but it’s not working for everyone.

That’s why Housing Hub is launching Disruptive Ideas in Disability Housing: Challenging the Status Quo — a national event designed to spark bold conversations and challenge outdated thinking around disability housing.

Bringing together people with disability, families, advocates, housing providers, allied health professionals and sector leaders, the event will centre lived experience while exploring what real choice, control and innovation in housing can look like. 🏡
