In the Disability Reform Ministers’ Meetings, I continue to amplify the voices of the community, raise the concerns and priorities of Canberrans with disability in national conversations and hold the National Disability Insurance Agency and Commonwealth Government accountable. The ongoing advice, feedback and advocacy of the ACT Disability Reference Group, community sector advocacy organisations and people with disability ensures I can represent and better support their interests and needs. Your voices highlight across governments and ensure the Scheme lives up to the promise of genuine choice, control and continuity. So more Canberrans with disability can have their voices heard, additional funding for Advocacy for Inclusion and ADACAS was delivered under the 2021-22 ACT Budget. Additionally, the ACT Government’s Integrated Service Response Program engages people with disability, particularly those who are not on the NDIS, and service providers with the NDIA so they can receive the right support for their needs.
