This paper highlights the current and longstanding housing issues that adversely affect older people, people with disability and carers in NSW. It discusses the barriers to accessible, affordable and well-located housing for these cohorts and identifies key actions that are needed.

This report was commissioned by the NSW Carers Advisory Council to examine whether there is evidence to support claims that carers in the state are missing out on essential services to support their responsibilities caring for a family member, partner or friend, following the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
