🔊 Moving Out, Moving On: Beyond Group Homes in the NDIS
🎙️ Reasonable & Necessary with Dr George Taleporos

Why are tens of thousands of Australians with disability still being placed in group homes under the NDIS and what can be done about it?
In this episode, Dr George Taleporos is joined by Jess Walker and Anna Burke from the Summer Foundation to unpack their new report, Moving Out, Moving On, which calls for urgent reform of housing and living supports under the NDIS.
We explore the hidden cost of group homes, the benefits of Individualised Living Arrangements (ILAs), and hear from Bar and Matt, two people who are living proof that a better way is possible.

🎥 Watch now and be part of the movement to reimagine housing and support for people with disability in Australia.
