Today in Australia, 1,470 young people with disability under 65 years of age are forced to live in aged care.

Some of these people are aged in their 30s and 40s, living with people in their 80s. They rarely see family or friends and it is common for young people living in aged care to lose skills and independence. People with disability must have access to the support they need to be in control of where and how they live and who they live with.

The Summer Foundation connects with people with disability to share their personal stories. Click on the images below to read and watch stories that show the impact of living in aged care:
