BE PART OF A UNITED VOICE FOR DISABILITY ADVOCACY IN VICTORIA
This conference takes place at a time of great change and importance:
· the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is being rolled out,
with launch sites operating amid much political, policy and practical
uncertainty
· the 2013-2016 Victorian state disability plan has been in place for a
year
· the new Federal Government has been in office for a year and its
first Budget has outlined major changes to disability eligibility and support
and the defunding of Australia's Disability Discrimination Commissioner
· disability advocacy organisations are set to commence the final year
of their three year contracts
Graeme Innes, former Disability Discrimination Commissioner will deliver what
promises to be a rousing Keynote address about the vital role of advocacy
All plenary sessions will be live captioned and attendant care will be
available.
