This is about the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act.

• Simpler

• More useful

• Easier to understand.

CID will write to the review about how the ADA can work better for people with intellectual disability.

We want to hear about

• Times when you have been discriminated against

• What you think about discrimination.

We will tell some of these stories when we write to the review.

If we share your story we will not tell them who you are.

Share your story with us by 4 August.

You can also write your own submission.

You can do an Easy Read survey about the ADA.
