Victoria's Disability Homes Face Closure, Threatening Thousands
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Hundreds of Victorian group homes for people with severe disabilities face closure due to funding cuts, potentially displacing nearly two thousand residents. These homes, run by not-for-profit organizations, claim current NDIS funding is insufficient. Residents, many of whom have lived in these homes for decades, could be forced into unfamiliar environments, possibly ending up in hospitals or aged care facilities. The Health and Community Services Union warns of a looming crisis, with governments potentially pointing fingers while disabled individuals miss out on essential care. The core issue lies in the changing roles of state and federal governments in disability housing.
