The Accessible Pathways Home Project (Pathways Home) is a deliverable under the Queensland Government’s disability housing action plan, partnering for inclusive housing with Queenslanders with disability 2024-2027, led by the Department of Housing and Public Works. Pathways Home is further strengthened by dedicated Disability Housing Advisors based in the five partner agencies supporting the initiative:

• Department of Housing and Public Works (Specialist Response Team)
• Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety
• Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support
• Queensland Health
• Queensland Corrective Services

Pathways Home will provide specialist and inclusive supports, information resources, referral and capacity building activities to directly and indirectly uplift people with disability achieving safe, stable, and suitable housing outcomes. Pathways Home will work with the social, community and housing service sectors to facilitate coordinated and collaborative, multi-agency and person-centred approaches to source diverse housing solutions for people with disability and supporters. Critical to Pathways Home operations is building networks, partnerships and collaborative processes with a range of services and providers, both in the local area and regionally. Visiting organisations will be invited to provide information, advice and skill-building workshops.

A key component of Pathways Home is the Disability Housing Pathway Navigators (Navigators) who will work directly with individuals and their support networks to explore suitable housing options, develop personalised housing pathway plans, and connect with appropriate external supports and services to achieve their housing goals. People with disability and their supports can access Pathways Home for information, resources and Navigator assistance face-to-face, by telephone and online, without the need for a referral. Community outreach and mobile support will be provided as required, where there is an identified need.

Pathways Home and Navigators will provide a broader role in capacity building, sharing gained expertise through a peer mentoring support framework and facilitating professional development opportunities for the five partner agencies and the disability, housing and homelessness sectors.

Interested suppliers are invited to attend an industry briefing session to learn more about the opportunity. This will be held remotely via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday, 26 March 2025 at 10:00 - 11:15am.
