A report commissioned by the #DisabilityRC — authored by La Trobe researchers — has recommended a policy overhaul to ensure that all people living with #cognitive #disability are empowered to make decisions about their lives. https://t.co/pDOmHoHAfp

You’ve heard about the Britney Spears #FreeBritney guardianship case. But did you know the same thing is happening in Australia to people with disability? PWDA has long held that #Guardianship is a violation of the human rights of people with #disability. https://t.co/ZlLHH1F1QH

Wow. I’m forever grateful. My purpose today and everyday is to change perceptions so people with disability can live the lives they deserve to live. I’ll do my best to make you all proud as your Australian of the Year xx

The ‘Young people in the NDIS’ report reveals, as of June 2021, less than half of young people aged 15-24 in the NDIS felt safe getting out and about in their community, chose who supported them and made most decisions in their lives. https://t.co/1C7lQFizPN
