Our members have a message for the NSW Government: Make Inclusion Happen!

People with intellectual disability want to do everyday things. Right now, that’s not always easy.

We want to government to move leadership on disability into the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. We also ask the Government to make changes in communications, transport and government employment to make them more inclusive for people with intellectual disability.

Everyday for Everyone!
