On Saturday 25 March NSW voters elected a new Labor government.

Before the election we asked NSW politicians what they would do for people with intellectual disability.

You can read what they said at the link.

We will keep talking to the new government about how they can make NSW more inclusive.

There is a new supported decision making resource on the My Rights Matter Hub.

It says these things are important for supported decision making.

• Everyone has the right to make decisions

• Everyone has the right to take risks

• Everyone has the right to support

• Everyone should respect what a person decides

People with disability should be at the centre of their own decisions.

For more information on Supported Decision Making visit My Rights Matter hub.

When our wellbeing is good we feel well in our mind and body.

This helps us have a good life.

We made an info guide to help you understand

• what wellbeing means

• how to check your own wellbeing

• how to decide to make your wellbeing better

• things you can do to help your wellbeing

The Wellbeing is Important guide is on the My Rights Matter hub.
