Introducing the Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG)

Territorians who have experienced homelessness will help shape the system that supports them through the new Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG). The LEAG is coordinated by YWCA Australia, with delivery support from Anglicare NT.

The LEAG will operate Territory-wide with representation from urban, regional and remote communities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Territorians and people from diverse backgrounds.

People who have actually been homeless have expert knowledge about homelessness systems, services and pathways. By putting that lived experience in the centre of plans for improvement, LEAG will contribute to more meaningful, ongoing change across the Northern Territory’s homelessness response.

Anglicare NT CEO, Craig Kelly, said the work was a first for the sector.
“By listening to people with lived experience, we can help strengthen homelessness responses and improve pathways to stable housing and support for all Territorians.”

Expressions of Interest are open now and close on Friday 21 August. Territorians who have experienced homelessness or housing insecurity encouraged to apply.
