@cydaaus 🚨83% of children and young people with disability have unmet support needs. That’s not good enough. This Federal Election, we’re calling for a fair, safe and accessible support ecosystem for children and young people with disability. Here’s what needs to change: ✅ Keep kids on the NDIS until other adequate supports are in place ✅ Provide more support at key life stages ✅ Invest in lived experience – employ young people and co-design reforms ✅ Make NDIS accessible 💬 Kids with disability and their families deserve a system they can trust. One that’s built with them, not around them. Watch, share, and tag your MPs to demand action this election.
