There has been a growing shift from congregate disability housing toward more individualised housing models. This scoping review examines outcomes for people with disability and complex needs between 2019 and 2025, highlighting the benefits of individualised housing in supporting autonomy, well-being and community participation. However, gaps remain in outcome data and housing descriptions.

This article describes the findings from 15 interviews on the lived experience of hospital discharge and returning to the community for people with acquired disability and complex needs in the Australian context. It identifies opportunities to co-design solutions that improve the experience of leaving hospital for this group.

This study analyses public submissions to the Disability Royal Commission to understand the housing and support needs, preferences and experiences of people with complex disability and their supporters. The findings offer insights to guide the co‑design of user‑led housing and support solutions that better align with people’s needs and improve outcomes for those with disability.
