National Disability Advocacy Framework submission highlights need for funding, sector development and coordination
DANA welcomed the recent opportunity to make a submission on the draft for a new National Disability Advocacy Framework 2022-2025. In this submission DANA has identified broadly what we think is needed to strengthen disability advocacy in Australia and ensure it is accessible, responsive and targeted to people with disability at risk of violence, neglect or other harms. These actions need to occur in close consultation with the advocacy sector, with governments listening and responding to input and feedback from advocacy organisations and the people with disability they support.
Share your stories with the Disability Royal Commission
People with disability, their family, supporters and advocates can share experiences of violence, neglect, abuse or exploitation with the Royal Commission. This helps the DRC learn more about the problem and how to help prevent it in the future. But 2022 is the final year for people to share their stories with the Disability Royal Commission. The final date for submissions is 31 December 2022.
Here are some resources to help you promote awareness of this important deadline.
