Statement on the Referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament
CYDA has accepted the invitation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. We turn to the leadership of the First Peoples Disability Network as the peak body for First Peoples with disability and stand with them in supporting a First Nations Voice to Parliament enshrined in the Australian Constitution. We strongly encourage individuals to exercise their right to vote in the Referendum and to seek out accurate information to inform their decision.
An important part of the work we do at CYDA is making submissions to government and policy makers. In our submissions, we make recommendations for changes to uphold the rights, and improve the wellbeing, of children and young people with disability.
Sign up for our e-news and stay up to date on all the latest events, opportunities and advocacy work happening at CYDA.
The Platform is our newsletter for young people with disability, featuring interviews, opportunities and news on the issues that matter to you!
