Government research found out some things about people who:

• live together
• and
• share housing and living supports.

Government research found that these people might not get to choose:

• where they live

• who they live with

• what support they get.

Government research also found that there are problems with the way housing and living supports are delivered.

This research shows us that there needs to be new rules for housing and living supports.

These rules will make sure housing and living supports are:

• safe
• meet the needs of people with disability.

We also need to do more to check that housing and living support providers follow these rules.

We asked people with disability what they want the new housing and living supports rules to do.

They told us the new rules should make sure housing and living supports:

• keep people with disability safe

• make sure workers have the right skills.

They also told us the new rules should make sure housing and living supports:

• keep personal information private

• protect human rights.

Human rights are rules about how people must treat you:

• fairly
• equally.
