Our Health Still Counts Position Statement
February 2025
People with intellectual disability are still dying decades earlier than other people.
People with intellectual disability are still much more likely to be hospitalised for preventable causes.
Doctors are still not getting the essential training to treat people with intellectual disability.
We know how to solve these problems … So why are they still happening?
We know how to fix healthcare for people with intellectual disability.
We urgently need to implement these solutions.
Lives depend on it.
Read our position statement to see how the Federal government can make changes for intellectual disability health.
