‘Forgotten Australians’ are the estimated half a million children who were placed in institutional care in Australia from the 1920s to the 1980s. Increasing numbers are entering older age but many are poorly positioned to age well and with the supports they need. This is often because the lasting effects of childhood institutional care have contributed to poor housing outcomes, including housing insecurity, reliance on social housing, prevalence of rental stress and experiences of homelessness. This report presents the results of a rapid review of the evidence on the long-term housing experiences and outcomes of people who spent time in childhood institutional care. It identifies service gaps that are likely to undermine the capacity of the housing and aged care sectors to improve the care and supports available for this group. This evidence review was complemented by qualitative interviews with community service practitioners and representatives of advocacy groups. The report highlights potential improvements to service delivery for people who experienced institutional care as children and directions for further research. This research begins to build a stronger evidence base around the housing and care needs of this group in mid- and later life. |
