YPIRAC Support in Springfield, Ipswich & Logan
Younger People in Residential Aged Care (YPIRAC) refers to individuals under 65 living in aged care facilities that are not designed for their age or long-term needs. At Unify Care & Support, we provide structured YPIRAC transition support in Springfield and across Ipswich, helping younger participants explore alternative housing and disability support pathways.
Supporting Younger People to Transition
Out of Aged Care
Residential aged care is typically designed for older adults. For younger people living in these settings, alternative home and living arrangements are often more appropriate.
The YPIRAC initiative focuses on reducing the number of younger people in residential aged care by supporting safe transitions into more suitable housing and disability support environments.
Serving: Springfield, Ipswich, Springfield Lakes, Springfield Central, Redbank Plains, Goodna, Ripley, Camira and Logan.
Best for: Individuals under 65 currently living in residential aged care who are exploring alternative home and living arrangements.
Typical supports: Transition planning, NDIS pathway support, housing coordination, support model design and discharge planning.
How this support works
We take a collaborative and participant-led approach:
- Step 1: We explore your current situation and discuss what a more suitable living arrangement could look like.
- Step 2: We assess eligibility pathways, including NDIS access if applicable.

- Step 4: We support the transition process from aged care to a sustainable home and living environment.
