Researchers at the University of Melbourne are seeking young people
- aged 18-34 years
- who have a disability;
- and live outside big cities, in rural and regional areas
to take part in interviews about their future housing aspirations.
The interviews will focus on your current living situation, your goals for the future, and what may be helping or preventing you from getting there.
The interview will take place online and will last about one hour.
Participants may bring a support person if they wish.
Participation is voluntary, and will be remunerated. The research will be helping to improve our understanding of where and how young people with disability in rural and regional areas want to live. This may lead to future changes in policy to support greater choice in living arrangements.
