People with Disability Australia (PWDA) welcomes the announcement of $364.5 million funding in tonight’s budget for foundational supports for people with disability. While this safeguards previous budget commitments and provides a modest injection of additional funding in future years, people with disability are not prioritised in key budget measures.
PWDA and Australians with disability will not stand by while the NDIS and the essential supports are threatened by cost-cutting or used as a political football.
PWDA joined other organisations led by the Australian Autism Alliance, in a joint statement calling for critical reform through the establishment of a National Assistance Animal Framework to meet the needs of people with disability and remove inequitable access barriers.
PWDA joins Human Rights Act for NSW (HRA4NSW) – an alliance of forty seven (47) civil society and community organisations in the call for an inquiry into a Human Rights Act for NSW.
PWDA’s Annual Membership Engagement Survey, will help shape the future of PWDA’s events, activities, and communication.
PWDA is pleased to inform that the People with Disability Australia (PWDA) Board has appointed their Executive Officers.
