Children and Young People with Disability Australia hears firsthand from our community the stress they incur navigating the social security system and being a recipient of income support. This includes undergoing costly and complex eligibility processes, complying with punitive and unfounded mutual obligations, and surviving on payments that are below an adequate standard of living which also do not incorporate the increased individual costs associated with disability.
We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the diverse lands from which we work, and pay our respects to their Elders and their connection to land, sea and community. Sovereignty was never ceded and this always was, and always will be, Indigenous Land. We extend these respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and communities from whose lands you are accessing our website.
