We need urgent reform to build a truly inclusive education system where every student has the support they need to thrive. ✅ A National Roadmap to Inclusive Education ✅ Stronger oversight to ensure schools meet inclusion standards ✅ More funding for early childhood and schools that improve inclusion ✅ Better pathways into higher education 🎓 Inclusive education is a RIGHT, not a privilege! And when we make education accessible, everyone benefits. 💬 Watch, share, and tag your MPs—let’s make inclusive education a priority this election! 📢✊#InclusiveEducation #DisabilityRights #AusPol #AusVotes2025

Video transcript

Visual: Rosie walking towards camera with her rollator through a school. She is wearing a shirt that says “The future is accessible.”
Audio: Upbeat and powerful music fades in and plays through video.

Rosie speaking: This Federal Election, we need real action for children and young people with disability! Let’s talk about one key issue: Inclusive Education.

Visual: Fast-paced sequence of video: a young girl using her wheelchair, two kids learning technology, and a young person with one arm speaking on a video call. The text “Inclusive Education” remains on screen.

Visual: Rosie sitting on her rollator at the bottom of a set of stairs. 

Rosie speaking: Right now, the education system isn’t working for disabled students. They face segregation, discrimination, and barriers that stop them from learning like everyone else. We need to change that. Here’s how!

Visual: Text appears on screen and is read. 

Voiceover Rosie:

  • A National Roadmap to Inclusive Education  
  • A national oversight body to ensure schools follow the law.  
  • More funding for early childhood inclusion.  
  • Federal funding for schools that actually improve inclusion.  
  • Stronger pathways into higher education for disabled students. 

 

Visual: Rosie turns and speaks to camera, close up.

Rosie speaking: Inclusion isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’ – it’s a RIGHT! And guess what? Inclusive education benefits EVERYONE.

Visual: Statistics appear on screen with voiceover.

Voiceover Rosie: Disabled students make up only 10% of uni enrolments. Less than half complete a bachelor’s degree compared to their non-disabled peers. 

Visual: Rosie walking towards camera like at the beginning of the video with her rollator.

Rosie speaking: This election, we demand action. Share this video, tag your MPs, and tell them: Inclusive Education NOW!

Visual: Text on screen: “Learn more at cyda.org.au/election” and the CYDA 15 years logo.
