“I think it's quite accessible, but need more action on inclusion. I found Access Canberra can be quite overwhelming, a pre- booked quiet hour would be nice.” Alan “It's difficult to state the assistance and inclusiveness that can be provided by the government, as this has been a condition that I had since birth, which resulted in this situation surrounding myself to be of the norm (to try to understand information from fragments of words spoken by others or to search online regarding topics that I could not hear or understand). As such, it is difficult to suggest what will make my life more accessible and inclusive, since this is the norm for me.” Anonymous Student “There is very little financial help for the people with mental health issues. Most live in shocking conditions and many others end up in a street as homeless. The ACT government is generally interested in stopping the suicide, acting in reactionary manner, caring about the statistics. The long term help, including financial help, is conveniently forgotten in any discussions. Many mental health issues could have been prevented if the ACT government changed its policy and truly and honestly helped.” Lucas
