Aged care is no place for any young person. Yet right now, 6,500 young Australians are living in aged care. 700,000 more are being cared for at home by family and friends, with limited support.
Why? If you, or a loved one was to suffer an accident, or fall ill in a way that left you in need of permanent, full-time care, there are currently few alternatives for care and accommodation available in Australia right now.
Youngcare works to change this by building more age appropriate accommodation; financially assisting through an At Home Care Grants program; and providing information and advice through the Youngcare Connect hotline.
Every young person deserves a young life. So please support Youngcare and help to provide choice, dignity and brighter futures for young Australians with full-time care needs.
Youngcare is an Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for young people with high care needs. The charity was founded in 2005 with the mission of ensuring that no young Australian with a disability is left to live in aged care or inappropriate housing.
By advocating for appropriate housing, funding innovative living solutions, and providing essential grants, Youngcare empowers young people with disabilities to live with choice, dignity, and independence. Its work addresses the gap in specialist disability accommodation across Australia, ensuring that young people can live in environments suited to their needs while staying connected to their communities.
The Mission and Vision of Youngcare
Youngcare's mission is to create freedom, dignity, and choice for young people with high care needs by providing suitable living arrangements and financial support. Its vision is a future where every young Australian with a disability has access to age-appropriate housing that promotes independence and quality of life.
The charity aims to:
- Eliminate Inappropriate Housing: Youngcare works to ensure that young people with disabilities are not placed in aged care facilities or institutional settings.
- Promote Independence: The organisation develops living spaces where young people can enjoy greater autonomy while receiving the necessary care.
- Provide Support Services: Through funding, advocacy, and education, Youngcare offers essential resources to families and caregivers navigating complex care needs.
Why Youngcare's Work is Essential
Across Australia, thousands of young people with disabilities live in aged care facilities due to a lack of suitable housing options. These environments are often isolating, and designed for elderly care rather than meeting the social, emotional, and physical needs of younger individuals.
Youngcare was established to challenge this reality and address the systemic issues that force young people into inappropriate living situations. The charity provides solutions that empower individuals to live fulfilling lives with dignity, promoting better physical and emotional wellbeing. The organisation's work also benefits families and caregivers by offering support and guidance, helping them navigate complex care arrangements with confidence.
Youngcare's Key Programs and Services
Youngcare delivers impact through a range of innovative programs designed to support young people with disabilities and their families.
- Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA): Youngcare develops age-appropriate, state-of-the-art housing tailored to the unique needs of young people with disabilities. These spaces promote independence while offering the necessary care and accessibility features.
- At Home Care Grants (AHCG): These grants provide funding for essential modifications, equipment, and services that enable young people with disabilities to remain at home with their families.
- Youngcare Connect: A free national information and referral service offering guidance on housing, care options, and support services for individuals and families navigating the complexities of disability care.
- Advocacy and Awareness: Youngcare actively works to influence policy changes that promote better care options and living conditions for young Australians with disabilities.
The Impact of Youngcare's Work
Youngcare's efforts have transformed the lives of countless young Australians and their families. By creating accessible housing and providing direct financial support, the organisation has empowered individuals with greater independence and quality of life.
The construction of SDA facilities across the country has set a new standard for disability accommodation, combining innovative design with care solutions that prioritise personal freedom. These living spaces ensure residents have access to community life, meaningful connections, and the opportunity to live on their terms.
Through the At Home Care Grants, many families have been able to make critical home adjustments that allow young people with disabilities to remain in their familiar environments, enhancing comfort and emotional stability.
