Summary

This study explores a decision that rural carers often face: whether to move to a larger metropolitan centre to access support services or to remain living in a rural area. This study identifies a range of factors that may be considered when rural carers decide whether or not to relocate. It is hoped that through identifying these factors, the implementation of NDIS in rural areas can be improved so that more flexible and localised supports are offered in the future.
