THE federal and state governments will spend $190 million over the next five years to help move young people with disabilities out of nursing homes and into special accommodation.
Around 6500 people aged under 65 are living in residential aged care facilities around the country, 1000 of whom are under the age of 50.
Most of these people have ended up in residential aged care facilities after acquiring disabilities such as brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, Huntingdon's disease and motor neurone disease.
Isolated socially and emotionally, these residents often miss out on a range of care services, making such accommodation less than ideal.
But according to the Rudd Government's parliamentary secretary for Disabilities and Children's Services, Bill Shorten, help is on the way.
"Many people aren't even aware young people are in aged care, certainly not in the numbers there are," Mr Shorten told The Sunday Age. "When I started this job, I wasn't really aware of this as an issue. Then I found out that a guy I had been at university with was in a nursing home and had been for over a decade. That really shook me and focused my attention on the program."
The main aim of the program — to be rolled out over the next five years in co-operation with state and territory governments — is to move younger people out of nursing homes and into more suitable share accommodation with people of a similar age and who share similar health-care needs.
It also aims to divert younger people who acquire a disability in the future and are at risk of going into a nursing home into more appropriate accommodation.
If younger people who are already in nursing homes want to stay where they are, then the program aims to ensure that they have better services available to them.
"The states and territories are all at different stages, but Victoria's really doing well," Mr Shorten said.
"These people, who have all had tremendous bad luck in their lives, well, society has really failed them if their only option is a bed in a residential aged care facility.
"They deserve better; they deserve the same choices about their lives as every other Australian does.
"I'm really proud that this program is delivering it."
The Young People in Nursing Homes Alliance has led a concerted campaign to offer young Australians with support needs the choice about where they live and how they are supported.

Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/video+porno.html]video porno[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/little+teen+porno.html]little teen porno[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+indian+girls.html]free porno indian girls[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/mature+tube+porno.html]mature tube porno[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/xxx+porno+free.html]xxx porno free[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+web+tv.html]free porno web tv[/url] no one to blame.
The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+video+that+you+can+watch+on+the+internet.html]free porno video that you can watch on the internet[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/indian+porno.html]indian porno[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/mature+porno.html]mature porno[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/fotos+porno+adolescente+coloradas.html]fotos porno adolescente coloradas[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+sex+izle.html]porno sex izle[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/mobile+gay+porno.html]mobile gay porno[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porn+porno+xxx+movies+videos.html]free porn porno xxx movies videos[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/ebony+teen+porno+movies.html]ebony teen porno movies[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/amateur+porno+tube.html]amateur porno tube[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+videos+in+wmv+format.html]free porno videos in wmv format[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/video+porno+de+yeni+rivera.html]video porno de yeni rivera[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/cild+porno+pics.html]cild porno pics[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/download+free+porno+movies.html]download free porno movies[/url] fake it out.
[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/adult+porno+tubes.html]adult porno tubes[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.
In biology, sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/live+sex+videos.html]live sex videos[/url]
a process of combining and mixing [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+online+sex+adult+games.html]free online sex adult games[/url]
genetic traits, often resulting [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+movies+of+young+gay+men+having+sex.html]free movies of young gay men having sex[/url]
in the specialization of organisms into [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/frat+party+sex.html]frat party sex[/url]
a male or female variety (known as a sex). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+sex+pictures.html]free sex pictures[/url]
that [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/girls+in+gym+shower+nude+porn+sex+xxx.html]girls in gym shower nude porn sex xxx[/url]
inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/indian+granny+sex.html]indian granny sex[/url]
such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/live+phone+sex.html]live phone sex[/url]
gametes are small, [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/carrie+prejean+s+sex+tape.html]carrie prejean s sex tape[/url]
motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/sex+positions+for+pregnant+women.html]sex positions for pregnant women[/url]
the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.
An organism's sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/real+homemade+teen+lesbian+sex+videos.html]real homemade teen lesbian sex videos[/url]
defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/big+tit+milf+sex+stories.html]big tit milf sex stories[/url]
gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/beach+sex+video.html]beach sex video[/url]
gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
