The health of people with intellectual disability still counts.

People with intellectual disability have the right to good health care.

We made a video about the problem.

We want the politicians to make promises about this at the federal election.

A federal election is when Australians vote to choose our Australian Government.

There is a plan to make health care better for people with intellectual disability.

The plan is called the National Roadmap.

The Australian Government made this plan.

CID will tell the Australian Government to make the plan happen.

We want the Australian Government to

• make training for health workers about working with people with intellectual disability.

• give money so doctors can spend more time with people with intellectual disability.

You can help CID with Our Health Still Counts.

You can share your story on our website.

You can follow us on social media.

My Health Cards can help you talk about your health.
