Five-point platform for disability services and support

In this climate of change, Redfern-based disabilty rights and advocacy organisation People With Disability Australia (PWDA) has launched its five-point NSW election platform.

PWDA’s priorities are:

  • Realise inclusion – through the full implementation of the National Disability Strategy in NSW;
  • Deliver disability support – with person-centred disability support services provided in a diverse, sustainable and competitive market;
  • Living in the community – addressing the systemic barriers that exclude people with disability from living in the community;
  • Deliver on jobs and training – through cross-government strategies to improve training and employment outcomes for people with disability;
  • Prevent violence and ensure justice – embed a holistic strategy of prevention, protection, prosecution and partnership.
