Summary: People who live in licensed boarding houses in our community are often highly vulnerable. Most have an intellectual disability or a psychiatric illness, or both. Many are elderly. Almost all rely on government benefits for income, the majority of which can be spend paying for boarding an lodging. This report concerns and inquiry by the Ombudsman in to the monitoring of licensed residential centres—otherwise known as licensed boarding houses—against the requirements of the 'Youth and Community Services Act 1973' ('YACS Act') and the conditions of the license by the Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care ('DADHC'). The report also considers DADHC's current arrangements for responding to boarding houses that should be licensed under the YACS Act, but are not.
